Model Gigi Hadid has responded after learning her name appeared in newly released documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, describing the situation as deeply unsettling. The files, made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, include previously withheld communications.

Among the documents is a 2015 email in which Epstein discussed Gigi and her sister, Bella Hadid, regarding their modeling success. Gigi clarified that she had never met Epstein and was disturbed to see her name referenced, especially at the age of around 20.

She emphasized that being named in the files does not imply wrongdoing. Gigi made it clear she had no connection to Epstein and chose not to speak earlier out of respect for his victims, prioritizing their voices.
