Bella Hadid's Controversial Teen Tweets Spark Backlash: 'Should've Known Better'
SCANDAL ROCKS BELLA HADID'S WORLD: Supermodel's "Problematic" Past Exposed, Fans Concerned for Her Health
In a shocking turn of events, Bella Hadid's past has come back to haunt her in the most unexpected way. The 29-year-old supermodel, known for her stunning looks and charismatic personality, has been targeted by internet trolls who dug up her old tweets from 2012 when she was just 16 years old. The posts, which included some disturbingly racist language and lyrics from a controversial rapper, have left fans reeling in shock and outrage.
The scandal broke on the celebrity gossip subreddit Faux Moi this week, where users were quick to call out Hadid for her "problematic" past. One user wrote, "I'm not surprised that a white celeb has a racist past but people hail her as their unproblematic princess. I wonder how this managed to fly under the radar." The posts in question included a tweet where Hadid used the N-word and quoted lyrics from Tyler the Creator's song "French," which featured the line, "Got all the black btches mad because my main btch vanilla."
The controversy has sparked a heated debate online, with some users defending Hadid by saying that she was just a teenager at the time and didn't know any better. However, others argue that her language and behavior were unacceptable, regardless of her age. One user wrote, "I have genuinely never had a “racism is funny!” phase and I’m shocked when people pretend everyone did." Another user added, "Everyone will excuse this as ‘oh she was just a kid’ but what about all the black kids that bore the brunt of this rhetoric? No sympathy for them?"
But Hadid's problems don't stop there. The supermodel made a grand return to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last Wednesday, where she stunned in a fiery crimson bra and lace thong. However, fans were quick to point out that she looked "faint" while walking the runway, strutting in massive 50-pound wings that seemed to be weighing her down. One fan wrote, "You can tell in her face. She looks a little stiff here... And look how she's trying to play with her shoulders trying to keep those d**n wings on. She's still killing it though."
Social media users were flooded with messages of concern for Hadid's health, referencing her recent hospitalization due to complications from chronic lyme disease. One user wrote, "She was literally just hospitalized. I don't know why they pushed her that much." Another user added, "Those wings are heavy asf and she's a very light person. She's also really sick. Still ate tho."
Hadid herself seemed unfazed by the controversy, writing in a now-deleted post on The Hollywood Reporter: "Ok we’re not going to pretend these wings weren’t 50 pounds but HOW BEAUTIFUL." However, it seems that her fans and followers are more concerned about her well-being than ever. One fan wrote, "Omg I thought it was just me — she looked like she was in pain."
The incident has raised questions about the pressure put on celebrities to conform to certain standards of beauty and behavior. Hadid's return to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show comes as the brand tries to revamp its image after a turn toward "woke" posturing. However, it seems that some fans are still waiting for Hadid to address her past mistakes and apologize for her language.
As one user wrote on thescholarlynote.com, "It's time for Bella Hadid to own up to her mistakes and take responsibility for her actions. We love her as a model and a person, but we need her to be accountable for her past."
