Gigi Hadid has spoken out after discovering her name appeared in newly released documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, calling the situation disturbing and uncomfortable. The records, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, contain previously undisclosed communications.
One document includes a 2015 email in which Epstein mentioned Gigi and her sister, Bella Hadid, in relation to their modeling careers. Gigi clarified that she never met Epstein and was troubled to see her name referenced, particularly as she was only around 20 years old at the time.
She stressed that being named in the documents does not suggest any involvement or wrongdoing. Gigi explained that she had remained silent initially out of respect for Epstein’s victims, wanting their voices to remain the focus.
Addressing her background, she acknowledged her privileged upbringing but emphasized that her career has been built through dedication and hard work since signing with a modeling agency in 2012. She wanted to ensure there was no misunderstanding about how she achieved her success.
The release of millions of documents has brought attention to numerous public figures, often without evidence of involvement. In her statement, Gigi aimed to clarify her situation while reinforcing that the priority should remain on justice and accountability.
By speaking publicly, she sought to correct any false assumptions and highlight the importance of context when interpreting sensitive information.
Her response reflects a careful balance—addressing her own concerns while continuing to support those affected by Epstein’s crimes. She underscored the need to distinguish between mere mentions and confirmed facts.
In the end, Gigi encouraged people to keep the focus on the victims and ongoing legal efforts, noting that appearing in documents does not automatically imply guilt and that accountability should remain the central issue.
