Gigi Hadid explained her autoimmune disease to body shamers who called her "too skinny" at NYFW
GIGI HADID HAS few words for people who were calling her “too skinny” over the course of New York Fashion Week.
The 22 year-old supermodel, who was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition Hashimoto’s disease two years ago, went on a bit of a Twitter rant after walking in Jeremy Scott’s A/W 2018 show.
She noted the double standards of the criticism, explaining that in the midst of the disease, she was considered “too big” by industry standards.
Whoops!

She explained that as her body has adjusted to being properly medicated, she has lost weight as a result.
