She has broken her silence, and has taken to social media to chat about the controversy surrounding the May issue, that was shot by Steven Klein. 

On her Instagram story, Gigi writes 'I want to address this for those who were offended by the editing/retouching/coloring of the cover. Please know that things would have been different if my control of the situation was different.'
