Gigi Hadid Breaks Silence After Epstein Files Shock: “It Made Me Sick to My Stomach”
Supermodel Gigi Hadid has spoken out after her name surfaced in newly released documents linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—and her reaction is as emotional as it is clear.
In a candid response on social media, Hadid addressed the controversy head-on, revealing that seeing her name mentioned in the files left her deeply disturbed. “It made me sick to my stomach,” she said, emphasizing that she had never met Epstein and had no connection to him.
The files, released by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a broader investigation, included a 2015 email exchange in which Hadid and her sister Bella were referenced in a conversation questioning their modeling success.
Hadid firmly rejected any implication of involvement, explaining that Epstein often used the names of well-known figures to manipulate others and create false impressions. She made it clear that her career was built independently through hard work, adding that her parents played a key role in protecting her and instilling strong values from a young age.
Initially, the model chose not to respond publicly out of respect for the real victims connected to the case. However, after seeing growing speculation online, she decided to speak out to “set the record straight” and avoid misunderstandings.
The revelation comes amid renewed global scrutiny following the release of millions of pages of Epstein-related documents, which have named numerous public figures and reignited debate about accountability, reputation, and the spread of misinformation.
Hadid’s message is clear: being named in such documents does not equal involvement—and in her case, she insists it’s a deeply unsettling misassociation.
