Just last month, model Bella Hadid slammed the paparazzi for taking private photos of her and her model friend, Jordan Barrett, from inside her New York City apartment.
The photographs – taken on a long-lens camera several hundred metres away and unbeknown to the Californian star – showed the 20-year-old lounging on her couch, taking selfies and cosying up with her friend on her balcony, and prompted the face of Dior Make-up to speak out about the gross invasion of privacy she had suffered on Twitter.
And now, the star is taking to social media again after reports suggested she was dating DJ Daniel Chetrit.
Over the weekend, the brunette model was spotted with her arm around the DJ while walking through the streets of the Big Apple, and led several news outlets and fans to question whether there was more to the pair's friendship than had previously been suggested.
This morning, Bella – who broke up with Canadian star The Weeknd eight months ago – took to Twitter to shut down rumours of a romance with Chetrit, revealing she wasn't dating anyone.
The empowering post comes months after Bella unfollowed Selena Gomez (who is currently dating The Weekend) amid rumours she was hurt by the star's new romance with her ex, especially given the fact she was friends with her sister, Gigi.
We've happy to see Bella prioritising herself right now, focusing on her own self-love, happiness and independence.
