“Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I’m not asking for special treatment,” she said. “Your mean comments don’t make me want to change my body.”
Speaking to Vogue.com, Hadid said that when she started out, many agencies told her she wouldn’t be a model unless she lost weight.
