Power duo Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have just proved that you don’t want to mess with model besties. After OG supermodel Stephanie Seymour told Vanity Fair that the two girls don’t deserve the “supermodel” title and called them “bitches of the moment”, Kendall took to her app to voice her opinion:
“Gigi sent me the most recent rant, and I’m disappointed. If you’re going to tell us not to be in ‘your moment’ then don’t be in mine! This moment is all about being supportive—not cyberbullying. But if you choose to be a cyberbully, I’m going to stick up for myself,” she wrote.
“No one is trying to steal Stephanie Seymour’s thing, or trying to be her. I actually looked up to her. She has a daughter! I guarantee you that she didn’t imagine someone so publicly shaming her daughter when she made those comments about us being ‘bitches of the moment’.”
Kendall continued, “Being a ‘supermodel’ is a relative term. If people want to call Gigi and I supermodels now, it doesn’t take anything away from supermodels of the past. Obviously, I have so much respect for those women, but right now, we’re the models of this time. Significant? Maybe. Hardworking? For sure.
“When I’m older, I’m going to be so nice to anyone who’s trying to do the same thing as me. There are other supermodels who give me tips and build up my confidence, sending me notes after a spread comes out, saying, ‘You’re killing it.’ That’s the classy way to behave and I fully intend on being a positive influence on anyone younger than me, my entire life.”
And what did her bestie do? Well Gigi replied to Kendall’s tweet with supportive emojis.
