Gigi Hadid's Boyfriend Zayn Malik Reportedly "Struck" Yolanda Hadid; Zayn Responds To Press "Leak"

It’s been many moons since Yolanda Hadid appeared as a regular on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We watched her battle Lyme disease and show her love of lemons in a way that probably made Shannon Beador jealous. She’s a mother of two supermodels and was a chill, yet stern voice on a show filled with outspoken women. And while she’s not one to get caught in the crossfires, she’s reportedly having some issues with her daughter’s baby daddy that have escalated quickly.

TMZ reports that Yolanda claims Zayn Malik, the father of Gigi Hadid’s baby and Yolanda’s grandchild, stuck her last week. A few “sources” told the outlet Yolanda is considering filing a police report, but she herself has yet to confirm and a report hasn’t been filed. There are few details as to what happened, aside from Yolanda allegedly standing by her account that she was “struck” by the pop star.

Zayn took to Twitter to explain his side of the story after he says the claim was “leaked to the press.” He begins by saying he’s a private person, and what’s to offer a safe and private space for his daughter to grow up in. The emphasis on private also includes family matters being “thrown” in the public eye. “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,” Zayn wrote. So it sounds like Yolanda made an unannounced visit to his place, but the rest remains a mystery.

In his lengthy statement, Zayn wrote that “there is divisiveness” in the family. He was attempting to restore his “peaceful family environment” for his daughter and then the story broke. “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,” he concluded. So the situation is clearly tense, ongoing, and, considering nothing has been confirmed, all hearsay. But it sounds even more dramatic than most of Yolanda’s scuffles during her time on RHOBH.
