Gigi Hadid Is Pissed After Getting Manhandled By a Stranger
Earlier today in Milan, Gigi Hadid was approached by a stranger while she and her sister were walking back to their car after walking in the Max Mara show.
There were a lot of fans, a lot of paparazzi and one fucking idiot in a maroon hat who thought it was okay to demonstrate his excitement for seeing Gigi Hadid up close and personal by picking her up in a non-consensual backwards bear hug.
In a video obtained by the TMZ, Gigi can clearly be seen defending herself by elbowing and hitting this man with her fist until he lets her go. After she was freed, the Daily Mail claims she shouted, “who the fuck are you, you piece of shit?” which sounds about right to us.
She had every right to defend herself. This is serious and isn’t funny at all pic.twitter.com/m3efNgfmII

An early article about the incident ran with the headline, “Not Model Behavior Gigi Hadid aggressively lashes out and ELBOWS fan in the FACE after he tries to pick her up,” to which Gigi rightly had some unkind words to say about on Twitter.
“To unknown article writer: fan?!!! The ACTUAL fans that were there can tell you what happened. I’m a HUMAN BEING – and had EVERY RIGHT to defend myself. How dare that idiot think he has the right to man-handle a complete stranger. He ran quick tho.”
THANK YOU Rachel.

While Bella has yet to make a statement of her own about the incident, she did retweet these two messages.
“Men needs to learn the boundaries about touching women like this isn’t acceptable in society. I hate it when they aren’t listening. Who tf do you think you are trying grabbing Gigi without your consent, is is NEVER okay to grab someone let alone a woman. Educate yourself.”

We get that it’s very exciting seeing somebody as beautiful as Gigi Hadid right in front of your face, but this kind of behavior is not okay.
Fans need to chill or else face a future where celebrities get around town in a series of elaborate underground tunnels that the likes of us ordinary people will never discover, which sounds like a semi-decent premise for a sci-fi movie, but a shitty reality to live in.
