Gigi Hadid Opens Up About Battling Hashimoto’s Disease

After being shamed by weight critics, Gigi Hadid took to Twitter to explain her autoimmune condition and what she has been through.

The model felt it was necessary to talk about her situation after critics were trying to come up with speculations on why her weight has changed throughout the years.

She then went on to say that after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease, she was able to start getting treatment throughout the years.

Hadid tweeted at her critics that “I may be “too skinny” for u, honestly this skinny isn’t what I want to be but I feel healthier internally and am still learning and growing with my body everyday, as everyone is.”

She also tells critics that she would “not further explain the way [her] body works.”

She ended her tweet thread by asking her critics to “learn to have more empathy for others and know that you never really know the whole story.”

After sharing her story, many fellow celebrities expressed their love and support for the model, including Ruby Rose and Hailey Baldwin.

Hadid has kept herself busy this past week, as she has been modeling for the New York Fashion week. Alongside her on the runway was her sister Bella Hadid. The duo walked together for the Fall 2018 line for Prabal Gurung.
