Yolanda Hadid Claims Zayn Malik Struck Her

October 28, 2021 / Posted by:

Here’s an effed up story. According to TMZ, Yolanda Hadid is claiming that Zayn Malik struck her. Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda is Gigi Hadid’s mom, and Gigi and Zayn share a 1-year-old daughter, Khai. Sources say the incident allegedly happened last week, and that Yolanda is seriously considering filing a police report. Minutes before the story broke, Zayn posted a long statement about “private family matters” on Twitter, and an hour later he told TMZ he “adamantly” denies striking 57-year-old Yolanda.

TMZ reports:

Our sources say Yolanda says it happened at some point last week. We don’t have the details of what she claims triggered the alleged assault, but we’re told Yolanda stands by her account. She claims Zayn “struck” her.

They add:

Our sources say Yolanda’s inclination is to file a police report, but we checked and so far there’s nothing on file.

Here’s 28-year-old Zayn’s denial, in which he claims Yolanda’s allegations are false:

“I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.”

And here’s what Zayn posted on Twitter an hour before (note that he claims the argument happened “several weeks ago,” not last week):

As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter [Khai] to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been “leaked” to the press. I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more importantly I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves.

 

So Zayn is basically saying he wanted to keep things private for the good of his baby daughter (snort), but Yolanda ignored his wishes and leaked the story to the press. Sorry bud, but if these allegations are true, you don’t get to be the one who decides if they goes public or not.

So far no official statements from Yolanda or 26-year-old Gigi. This morning the paps caught up with Yolanda in NYC, and she ignored their questions about Zayn:

The last time Zayn made headlines was back in June when he almost got into a fight (sans shirt) outside a bar in the East Village. Oooo, that’s a pretty bad last-headline to have when we’re talking about an alleged assault. But don’t worry, Zayn. One Direction stans are already passionately defending you on Twitter. They’re not sure what’s going on, but they are 100% positive of your innocence.
