Gigi Hadid Called Kanye West A "Bully" And A "Joke" After He Attacked A Fashion Journalist On Instagram
In case you missed it, Kanye West wore a "White Lives Matter" shirt at Paris Fashion Week during the unveiling of his latest fashion line.
Obviously, it didn't go over well with pretty much anyone — including Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who voiced her criticisms on Instagram.
"It didn't land and it was deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous," she wrote in a series of IG story slides that featured screenshots of her conversation with someone else about Kanye's shirt. "The idea that white supremacy is in danger of extinction is what justifies mass incarceration, murder en masse, indeed the advent of slavery," she wrote in one of the conversations. "The idea that Blackness must be snuffed out for it will supercede whiteness in power and influence if given the chance. And it's so hugely irresponsible to furnish the most dangerous extremists with this kind of fictional narrative."
Kanye's response to her criticism was...pretty bad. He took to his Instagram and posted pictures of Gabriella, critiqued her fashion choices, and shared a screenshot of her personal IG page.
In the comments section of one of Kanye's posts, Gigi Hadid came to Gabriella's defense.
"You wish u had a percentage of her intellect," Gigi wrote in a since-deleted comment (via E! News). "You have no idea haha...."
"If there's actually a point to any of your shit she might be the only person that could save u. As if the 'honor' of being invited to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion...? Lol."
Gigi concluded her comment by calling Kanye a "bully" and a "joke." Damn. Can't argue with that!
We'll see if Kanye responds — although, really, let's just hope that he shuts up for a while.
