Yolanda Hadid is under fire for comments she made to her daughter, Gigi Hadid, in an unearthed clip from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Earlier this month, Bravo shared a nostalgic compilation of clips when Gigi and her sister, Bella Hadid, appeared on the hit franchise prior to striking it big in the modeling world.

The video — titled “Gigi & Bella Hadid Before They Were Stars” — can be seen (below):
However, after the resurfaced footage went viral, fans pointed out questionable things the now-55-year-old — who was then married to David Foster — said to her children, related to their diet and their bodies.
Around the :25 mark, the Dutch television personality appeared to dissuade Gigi from playing volleyball, saying:
“Volleyball is a very masculine sport. Modeling is a very feminine thing.”
Additionally, the former model — who appeared on seasons 3-6 — made disparaging comments about female athletes at Gigi’s school.
“These girls, they train four hours a day after school so their bodies are big and bulky, and they eat like men. I wanted [Gigi] to develop as a woman.”
Lastly, when Gigi reminded her mom that she used to only wear basketball clothes in 3rd grade, Yolanda remarked:
“I thought that my daughter was a lesbian.”
Around the 1:45 mark, Yolanda attended Gigi’s photoshoot just before her daughter’s birthday celebration.
The now-23-year-old said she was excited for all the food that was going to be at her party, exclaiming:
“Pretty much all the food that we’re eating is like a heart attack in a meal, but it’s gonna be so good.”
However, after “one night of being bad,” Yolanda reminded her daughter that she needed to go back on her diet, explaining:
“You know in Paris and Milan, they like the girls just a tad on the skinny side.”
Around the 7:35 mark, Yolanda and other Housewives — including Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump — attended a party celebrating Gigi going to college.
In the clip, Yolanda appears to disapprove of Gigi eating too much cake, explaining:
“To be on your best weight, you gotta make the right choices.”
Needless to say, after the resurfaced video hit the web, Internet users SLAMMED Yolanda for her “horrible” comments!
They wrote:
“YIKES… those comments Yolanda was making about volleyball & looking masculine & all that”
“the cake part ? she didn’t let her daughter have one normal piece of cake for her fricking birthday. im amused.”
“i never really cared for gigi or bella but after seeing this,,, i feel so bad for them.”“Oh my god her mom is scary… I would run away if I was Gigi”
“Wait this makes me really sad… like I’d have such horrible self-esteem if my mom treated me like that”
“The scene with the cake was hard to watch – eats 30 calories of cake ‘omg. I cant believe we did that'”
“Yolanda seems like a terrible mother who gave her daughters a complex and an unhealthy relationship with food.”
Not a great look. What do U think?
(Oh and FYI, Yolanda finalized her divorce from Foster in May 2017. He is currently engaged to Katharine McPhee.)
