Gigi Hadid Called Jake Paul “Ugly” and “Irrelevant” While Defending Zayn Malik
In “Parents, come and get your fucking brats” news, there is a new feud to roll your eyes to this weekend and it comes in the form of Jake Paul vs. Zayn Malik vs. Gigi Hadid. Now, I’m old. I had to Google Jake Paul because I thought he was another person with the same job description and completely forgettable, punchable face. Turns out, I was thinking of his brother Logan Paul, who, surprisingly, has yet to enter the ring of this all-star mud-slinging match. Logan is the douche who filmed a suicide victim, and Jake is the douche who filmed himself doing the #BirdBoxChallenge while driving a car, among other shit.
Once I got over the initial embarrassment of mistaking Logan for Jake, I did my damndest to follow along to the vicious tweets, complete with eight-grade level name-calling, to try to understand what these children were fighting about. I say, what “they” were fighting about…as usual, Zayn just sat there and ate his food while his ex-girlfriend turned rumored new girlfriend, Gigi, stood by her man and defended his legacy as a “respectful king” (ugh, fucking hell).
Metro UK is reporting that both Jake and Zayn were in Las Vegas to watch the Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder fight (I know, sports….I’m getting back to the drama) and ended up starting a fight of their own. Jake felt it necessary to share with his Twitter followers that he almost “had to clap up zane” for being unnecessarily rude to him (maybe while at this sports match?). He then proceeded to go after Zayn’s height and implied that he is angry for being alone.
almost had to clap up zane from 1 direction because he is a little guy and has an attitude and basically told me to fuck off for no reason when I was being nice to him…. zane ik you’re reading this… stop being angry cause u came home alone to ur big ass hotel room hahaha

Well, Gigi did not find this amusing, and did some clapping of her own:
Lol cause he doesn’t care to hang w you and your embarrassing crew of YouTube groupies ..? Home alone with his best friends like a respectful king cause he has me, sweetie. Unbothered by your irrelevant ugly ass. Go to bed …

The entire series of exchanges managed to make a lot of noise on Twitter, with some people defending Jake, some praising Gigi (despite that stomach-churning “respectful king” comment) and most just opting to bask in the mess that seemingly started out of nowhere. So far, the “Yaaas Queen! Slay herrr!” comments from those on Team Gigi are massively outperforming Jake’s original tweet, implying an all but guaranteed TKO for Zayn (and again, Zayn wins for doing absolutely nothing). Jake has also not yet responded to Gigi’s flamethrower of a comeback. We’ll just have to see how this pitiful drama unfolds. Also, I managed to go years without knowing who Jake Paul was until this very day. Please clap.
