The news of a heated altercation between Zayn Malik and Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, has left fans curious about the cause of the fight. On October 28, 2021, TMZ reported that Zayn had “struck” Yolanda, leading her to file a police report. Court documents obtained by TMZ revealed that Zayn faced four criminal charges of harassment against Gigi and Yolanda.
According to the court documents, Zayn allegedly shoved Yolanda into a dresser, causing her physical pain and mental anguish. He also reportedly used derogatory language, referring to Yolanda as a “f—king Dutch s—t” and demanding that she stay away from his daughter. During the altercation, Zayn called Gigi, who was in Paris for Fashion Week, and urged her to defend him against her own mother, stating that she should “strap on some f—ng balls.”
TMZ sources shed some light on the events that led to the altercation. The incident allegedly took place on September 29, 2021, when Zayn was alone at home with his and Gigi’s daughter, Khai. Sources claim that Yolanda entered the house without prior notice or knocking, which upset Zayn. He felt that Yolanda was disregarding his role as Gigi’s partner and Khai’s father. The sources suggest that Zayn expressed his frustration to Yolanda, but she did not respond positively.
Furthermore, Zayn’s work routine, which often involves late nights and daytime sleep, was disrupted by Yolanda’s uninvited arrival. This reportedly added to his irritation. The sources also mention that tension had already been building between Zayn and Yolanda because she had been posting photos of Khai on her social media, while Zayn preferred to keep their daughter’s life private.
In a show of support for their mother, Gigi’s siblings, Bella and Anwar Hadid, unfollowed Zayn on social media. An insider told HollywoodLife that Bella and Anwar stand by their mom and fully believe her account of what transpired.
Zayn took to Twitter to address the situation and explain his side of the story. He emphasized his desire to create a safe and private environment for his daughter, where family matters are not exposed to public scrutiny. Zayn stated that he had chosen not to contest the claims arising from the argument with a family member of his partner who had entered their home while she was away. He expressed his hope for healing and his commitment to protecting Khai’s privacy.
In response to the claims that he had struck Yolanda, Zayn provided a statement to TMZ, firmly denying the allegation. He expressed his desire for Yolanda to reconsider her false accusations and work toward resolving the family issues in private for the sake of their daughter.
The details surrounding the altercation between Zayn and Yolanda remain a subject of public interest, and both parties have presented their perspectives. As the situation unfolds, fans and the public can only hope for a resolution that prioritizes the well-being of everyone involved, especially the young child caught in the middle.
