The supermodel also opened up about her past body acceptance.
"I had a small waist and big hips and was kind of chubby," she said. "I love them now, but I was always self-conscious of my hips—whereas my sister [Gigi Hadid] had a six-pack and was very athletic. And I thought I had such a weird face. I remember very distinctly getting bullied because of my features."
A month ago, Hadid responded to an Instagram troll who implied that she had cosmetic surgery and fillers. Hadid told her, "Blessings to you sweetheart. Jealousy is a cry for help that I wish I could help you with."
According to E! News ,Hadid also opened up about how she deals with online critics. "It's taken me a long time to learn not to listen," she explained. "I turn my phone off and remember that the people around me are the only ones whose opinions I really care about. Why would I read those comments? They are usually coming more for my character than for my face, which is more hurtful."
"I don't [respond]," she added. "I've learned that people are going to hate you and there's nothing you can do about it except be yourself and love yourself. But I feel people's energy very intensely. Often I think, 'I just want to meet you and tell you I'm not a bad person. You don't have to be mean to me.'"
