Tyra Banks, Ashley Graham and more send Gigi Hadid support

After sending out a lengthy message about being body shamed, Gigi Hadid is getting support from fellow models and celebrities on social media.

Hadid took to Instagram to defend her body and explained, “Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m fitting into sample sizes.”

Model Tyra Banks reposted Hadid’s message. “I haven't met you yet @gigihadid but I FEEL you so much,” she wrote. “Your words are powerful. Your words are necessary. Your words are vulnerable. Your words are real. Sending you love and hugs. From one model that had curves and a unique walk to another, Tyra.”

Plus-size model Ashley Graham, who is known for promoting body diversity, directed fans to Hadid’s post. “Thank you @GiGiHadid for your love and realness on body love and acceptance. If you haven't yet, look at Gigi's IG post. It's compelling,” she tweeted.


Hadid’s bestie Kendall Jenner retweeted her post, and Kendall’s mom, Kris Jenner, showed her support with a long message on Instagram.

“This is from one of the sweetest, smartest, and most beautiful girl inside and out, in the world,” Kris captioned her post. “Why do people with no life, no purpose, who are angry and bitter and ignorant, or just plain nasty and mean, choose to bring everyone else down instead of finding the best in others?”

According to E! News, other celebrities who reached out to Hadid include Hailey Baldwin, Khloe Kardashian and her mom, Yolanda Foster.

This is from one of the sweetest, smartest, and most beautiful girl inside and out, in the world. Why do people with no life, no purpose, who are angry and bitter and ignorant, or just plain nasty and mean, choose to bring everyone else down instead of finding the best in others? I will never understand the BULLYS that lurk on Instagram just to try and ruin someone else's spirit. If all of their horrible negative energy was focused on being positive and seeing good, imagine what a better more peaceful place this world would be. Spread love and joy everyone, not hate. It only reflects what kind of person you are. Something good might come of it...lift others up. Do unto others as you would like done to you....Love One Another. #Repost @gigihadid
