Gigi Hadid Breaks Silence on Being Mentioned in Epstein Files

Hadid said she never met Epstein and called being named in the files disturbing, after a 2015 email in the release mentioned her and Bella.

  • Model Gigi Hadid denied any association with Jeffrey Epstein after her name appeared in Department of Justice documents released under The Epstein Files Transparency Act.
  • The controversy stems from a December 2015 email exchange where Epstein claimed he helped Gigi and Bella Hadid launch their careers because "they follow directions."
  • Addressing the claims in an Instagram comment, Hadid stated her parents taught her hard work and that Epstein likely used her name to manipulate victims seeking modeling contracts.
  • Paris Hilton and Supermodel Naomi Campbell have also been named in recent file releases, with Hilton telling The Times she does not remember meeting the financier.
  • The disgraced billionaire Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, having previously served 13 months for soliciting prostitution.
