Gigi Hadid is in some SERIOUSLY hot water right now.
Why? Well, it appears the supermodel has been accused of being racist after footage surfaced of her seemingly mocking Asian people. Oof.

In a vid taken (and since deleted) by sis Bella Hadid from over the weekend, Taylor Swift‘s pal is seen squinting and laughing as she lifts a cookie with Buddha’s face on it up to her own gorgeous mug. Don’t believe us? One fan captured Bella’s footage and has since shared it on Twitter (below).

Of course, it didn’t take long before Gigi’s momma (and former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star) Yolanda Hadid jumped online to defend her daughter from all of the hate. The Hadid matriarch wrote:

Oh snap! Not to mention, the 21-year-old’s usually private BF Zayn Malik also added his two cents on the controversy:
@KristopherRod trust me.. she likes asians 😉 ├░┼╕ΓÇÿ┬ì├░┼╕┬Å┬╜

In case you were unaware, the former One Direction member is part Pakistani. Still, Gigi and her loved ones should understand where these frustrated fans are coming from.
What do YOU think? Was Gigi being racist?
SOUND OFF in the comments (below)!
