THEY seemed to have it all: the talent, the looks, the fame and fortune.
Then the glossy façade cracked – and now everyone has front-row seats to the family drama that makes anything reality TV could offer up look tame.
So what exactly happened that led to the breakdown between supermodel Gigi Hadid and pop star Zayn Malik?
Here’s what’s been going down.
MOTHER OF A PROBLEM
Rumours of an altercation between Gigi’s mom, Yolanda Hadid, a Dutch American reality TV personality and former model, and Zayn surfaced last month.
Yolanda (57) claims Zayn struck her at his home in rural Pennsylvania while Gigi was working in Paris in late September. Zayn (28) was apparently unhappy that Yolanda “barged” into his home unannounced.
The Hadid family matriarch alleges in court documents the singer “grabbed and shoved me into a dresser, causing mental anguish and physical pain”.
She also accuses him of engaging in “continuous cursing”, calling her “a f***ing Dutch slut” and ordering her to “stay away from [my] f**king daughter”.
The pop superstar also reportedly referred to his and Gigi’s daughter, Khai, as “the f***ing sperm that came out of my f***king c**k”.
Zayn vehemently denied the accusations.
A day later things took a legal turn when Yolanda pressed charges, accusing Zayn of four counts of harassment.
He immediately pleaded no contest and was fined an undisclosed amount and placed on a 90-day probation for each charge, accumulating to 360 days total.
