Gigi Hadid is facing legal action after posting a paparazzi photo on Instagram — and she lashed out at the photo agency who’s suing her. According to reports on

People. com, the 23- yearold supermodel called out a photograph­er who is suing her in a lengthy Instagram rant that addressed the fact that she ( and other celebritie­s) feel like their privacy is invaded by aggressive paparazzi whenever they leave the house.

“Yesterday I heard from my management that I am being ‘ legally pursued’ for my last ( now deleted) Instagram post. The photo is by a Paparazzi & is of me on the street outside an event last week. I posed/ smiled for the photo because I understand that this is part of my job, this was an appropriat­e situation for ‘ the press’ to attend, and also that this is how paparazzi make a living ( sic),” Hadid wrote, adding, “Most circumstan­ces are not this way,i.e. leaving my apartment, or anytime I feel that my privacy is being unreasonab­ly intruded upon, doing everyday things feel harder to face… these people make money off of us everyday, LEGALLY stalking us day in and day out- for nothing specialfor us to walk six feet to a car and six feet into a work buildi n g . They drive dangerous ly close and extremely recklessly; they put the general public in danger in pursuit of a photo ( sic).” Hadid received an overwhelmi­ng amount of support from her fellow stars and her family in the comments, many of whom say they have experience­d similar situations.
