Gigi Hadid has taken to social media, after people were labelling her as 'too skinny' during New York Fashion Week.
She went on a Twitter rant explaining that she has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, and took to social media after walking in Jeremy Scott's A/W 2018 show.
Gigi wrote 'For those of you so determined to come up w why my body has changed over the years, you may not know that when I started @ 17 I was not yet diagnosed w/Hashimoto’s disease.'
The model added 'Those of u who called me “too big for the industry” were seeing inflammation & water retention due to that.'

I will not further explain the way my body looks, just as anyone, with a body type that doesnt suit ur “beauty” expectation, shouldnt have to. Not to judge others, but drugs are not my thing, stop putting me in that box just because u dont understand the way my body has matured.

Please, as social media users & human beings in general, learn to have more empathy for others and know that you never really know the whole story. Use your energy to lift those that you admire rather than be cruel to those u don’t.

Can’t wait to see you in Milan. Sorry you too have to explain something so ridiculous to people. Love to you. Love to the people who try to tear down others also because they are just people who haven’t had the spiritual growth that needs to occur to love and accept one another.
