Gigi Hadid robbed in Greece, gets slammed over comments

"I deserve to have an opinion on my experience and warn people on this," the model wrote

American-Palestinian model Gigi Hadid has faced backlash over her recent comments during her trip to Mykonos, Greece. People are not happy about her 'generalisations' on the country based on her unfortunate experience of getting robbed.

She wrote originally on her second Gi'sposables Instagram, "Mykonos film in. PS(A). Don’t let insta fool u. Got robbed. Never going back lol. Wouldn’t recommend. Spend your money elsewhere."

The statement upset many Greeks on the social media platform, who accused Gigi of of 'defaming' Greece. However after the photo was flooded with comments and circulated Instagram, the model doubled down on her statement by adding a series of additional thoughts.

She wrote, "Let me make this clear for everyone below who thinks I don't deserve to have an opinion on my experience and warn people of this - I was robbed along with more than 30 houses at night, some to gunpoint. It was not possible to contact any form of law enforcement except through my local security who happened to have a contact. That is a privilege that most people travelling there wouldn't have."

Gigi continued to explain her point of view. "If something happens while the police station is closed, there is nothing that can be done to protect yourself, and when the station does open it doesn't seem as though their training and resources are in line with keeping people safe or keeping up with the amount of crime that is happening o a nightly basis (I speaking of the island specifically only because it's where I experienced this)."

The popular fashion it-girl, who boasts over 41 million followers on Instagram, also asserted she would never have vacationed in Greece if she knew about the 'security situation.'

"This is my opinion based on actual events and you not liking it isn't my problem. Lastly, I work my a** off and never do a trip like this for myself and friends, so if I want to post pictures of the trip after being robbed, I will do so."
