Overview
- Gigi Hadid, who replied on Instagram on March 29, said the reference made her “sick to my stomach” and that she has never met Jeffrey Epstein.
- The DOJ’s newly released records include a December 2015 email where a redacted sender asked how the Hadid sisters became models and Epstein wrote “You know,” then “Because they follow directions, its that simple.”
- Hadid outlined how she entered modeling, saying her mother took her to agency meetings in New York, only a few offered contracts, and she signed with IMG Models in 2012.
- She said she initially stayed quiet so focus would stay on victims, and she noted she was about 20 to 21 when the 2015 email would have been written.
- The files were made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and many entries are brief or redacted, which can create references that do not establish personal connections.
