Zayn Malik and Yolanda Hadid, Gigi Hadid’s mother, have been involved in a dispute over an alleged debate, while internal sources close to them point to a toxic relationship between Zayn and Gigi.
On Thursday, Zayn posted a statement on Twitter regarding the alleged incident between him and Yolanda, saying he is usually a private person, but chose to speak out because the situation had spread in the press. Although he did not specify anything, a story published by TMZ claimed that he “attacked” Yolanda. Foreign media have obtained court documents confirming that Malik was charged with four counts of assault following an incident on September 29 in which he allegedly assaulted Yolanda Hadid causing her mental anxiety and physical pain.
Zayn has denied all of these allegations. A friend of the former One Direction member told the media that Malik has insisted that he never hit Yolanda and the quarrel started when “she came home uninvited while Gigi was away for work and he was taking care of Khai This led to a debate. Yolanda wants the best for her daughter and granddaughter and has had some problems with Zayn. She thinks he can handle Gigi better. This is creating conflicts between Yolanda and Zayn. “
Amid the dispute, a source close to Zayn says he is focusing on Khai. “Zayn is a wonderful father and Gigi has said that. They are not fighting, they are actively and friendly working to find the best way to co-parent now. These have been statements on this much-discussed situation. No further information is known yet.
