Bella Hadid reveals sister Gigi gets ‘really emotional about criticism’ after being ‘consistently attacked for the shape of her body’
Bella has opened up about how her supermodel sister handles the constant scrutiny surrounding her body shape
BELLA Hadid has revealed her sister Gigi gets ‘really emotional’ when she’s criticised over her body shape.
Since Gigi started working in high fashion she’s faced claims that she’s “too thin” or “too curvy” and Bella, 20, admits it gets her down.
In an interview with Grazia, Bella said: “Gigi gets emotional about the criticism.
“I think she just tries to keep grounded and realises that it’s just people on the outside talking.
“Everyone around her loves her and knows who she is.
“Plus, she always ends up succeeding from those things anyway.”
Gigi’s made no secret of the criticism she’s received in the past regarding her body shape.
Last year, she went online to hit back at her critics who “consistently attacked for the shape of her body”.

She wrote: “No I don’t have the same body type as the other models in the shows.
“Yes I want to have a unique walk but I also know I have to improve.
“You think you can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I’m a hard worker that’s confident in myself.
“Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs. But I’m not asking for special treatment.”
Gigi, 21, is now a regular fixture at Fashion Week – walking for huge design houses including Chanel, Versace and Marc Jacobs.
The pair are incredibly close, with Bella admitting the pair aren’t competitive, despite working in the same industry.
She added: “Gigi is my comfort blanket – we cheer each other on and we’re not competitive.
“She’s an incredible person and I’m lucky to have her as my sister.
“We work incredibly hard.
“We just get chills thinking about everything that happened this year.”
