GIGI'S NO PLAIN MARY JANE
Hadid busted for pot in Caymans
That’s hardly model behavior. Gigi Hadid was arrested for marijuana possession while on vacation in the Cayman Islands earlier this month, according to a new report.
The 28-year-old supermodel and a friend were taken into custody after customs officials allegedly found “ganja and utensils used for the consumption of ganja” in their luggage on July 10, local outlet Cayman Marl Road reported.
Hadid and her friend Leah Nicole McCarthy were arrested and taken to the Prisoner Detention Center before later being released on bail.
Hadid and McCarthy appeared in Summary Court on July 12, where they were formally charged.
Both pleaded guilty and were fined $1,000 each. No conviction was recorded. “Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license,” Hadid’s rep told E! News in a statement Tuesday.
“It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017,” the rep added. “Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island.”
The friends were reportedly staying at Palm Heights, a luxury boutique hotel that has become a popular vacation spot for A-listers.
Girl with dragon tattoo
The “Next in Fashion” cohost didn’t seem to let her brief troubles put a damper on her vacation, which appeared to be a belated birthday celebration for McCarthy, 29.
Hadid, who shares a 2-yearold daughter with singer Zayn Malik, posted a photo of a massive new dragon tattoo positioned on her upper thigh in an Instagram post just two days after her court appearance.
Both women have since shared suggestive snapshots of the group soaking up the summer sun on the island.
