Gigi Hadid has ignored many false tabloid stories about her, her family, and her other famous friends. But this afternoon, she reached her limit with the fake headlines—and the mean comments some people make when they trust the "sources" publications use.
'Exactly what qualifications does one need to be a 'source'?!' she asked on Twitter. (While it's unclear whether Hadid is targeting any specific story, a report from British tabloid Reveal where a source claimed Hadid wants to meet with her boyfriend Zayn Malik's ex-fiancée, Perrie Edwards, has been going around this week.)
'The amount of BS online & how much negativity it creates, is truly sad—not just for the people being spoken about but how you treat each other online sometimes makes me sad,' she continued. 'I nor anyone you support wants that… Rise above it. Spread love.'
This isn't Hadid's first time addressing trolls on her social media. Her Instagram post to her body-shamers went viral last year.
