Yolanda Hadid Fires Back: Defending Controversial Post of Granddaughter Khai Amid Backlash! - lulu

Yolanda Hadid isn’t here for the haters.

The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum hit back after an Instagram user called her photo of 4-year-old granddaughter Khai “really inappropriate.”

The comment read, “A child’s privacy should always be respected posting such a photo is not okay. Please think about how this might affect her in the future.”

Hadid, 61, replied, “Please go and harass somebody else’s feed. You are not welcome here!!!”

The heated social media exchange referenced the fifth picture in Hadid’s birthday tribute to son Anwar Hadid, which showed the 26-year-old playing with his niece at the beach.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik’s little one, whose face was turned away from the camera, wore a red bathing suit in the upload.

She appeared elsewhere in the carousel, standing beside her uncle as they watched a rodeo.

Many of Yolanda’s fans defended Khai’s inclusion, with one writing, “She has her daughter’s blessing and she’s not even showing her granddaughter’s face.”

Another, however, argued that Yolanda “has such a big following and people are creeps.”

Yolanda became a grandma in 2020 when Gigi, 30, and Malik, 32, welcomed Khai.

The former couple have been co-parenting their daughter since ending their on-again, off-again relationship for good in 2021.

The exes have shielded Khai’s face from the public since her arrival, with the model explaining in an open letter the following year that they want her “to live as normal of a childhood as possible.”

She added, “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age.”

Gigi, who is currently dating Bradley Cooper, often gives glimpses of Khai, from birthday party pics to summer snaps.

When an Instagram user told the “Next in Fashion” co-host in April that she “could feel how loved and special Khai is” without seeing her face, Gigi replied, “That means a lot.”
