Gigi Hadid has shocked followers with this racist impersonation of Melania Trump

We understand that America is in a state of turmoil right now and many people, including high profile celebrities, are disappointed with the result of the recent presidential election.

Donald Trump and his wife Melania have become the centre of parody and Gigi Hadid certainly isn’t the first to pull off an ill-timed impression. Gigi however, decided to pull hers off on stage while presenting the American Music Awards. The model mimicked Melania’s accent and made reference to plagiarism controversy surrounding the future FLOTUS.

If anyone on the right impersonated Melania they would've been labeled racist, and a phobe of some sort. But anyone on left can. @GiGiHadid — People Vs Gov 2016 (@peoplevsgov2016) November 21, 2016

@GiGiHadid didn't your mother also enter this country with a Visa as model just like Melania? So, who exactly are you making fun of? #maga

This has really given me the shits. @GiGiHadid a product of immigrants finds it quite okay to racially vilify Melania Trump. Hypocrite! — MLo (@MLoParis) November 21, 2016
