The 28-year-old model, known for her striking looks and high-profile career, had previously accused Israel of "raping and torturing" Palestinians. Her post featured an image of Palestinian Ahmed Manasra, falsely portraying him as a "child prisoner of war." The social media outcry was swift, with critics questioning the accuracy and context of her claims.
In a surprising turn of events, Hadid publicly acknowledged her mistake. She admitted to failing to "fact check" or deeply consider the implications of her post before sharing it with her followers. The post, which had garnered significant attention, was quickly taken down, but the damage was done.
Our exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com capture Gigi's somber demeanor as she navigated JFK Airport. Clad in a slick leather jacket, a casual grey tee, and billowing black trousers cinched at her trim waist, she seemed to carry the weight of her misstep.
The controversy surrounding Hadid's post underscores the power and responsibility of social media influencers. In an age where information spreads rapidly, fact-checking and thoughtful consideration are essential. Hadid's case serves as a cautionary tale for those who wield influence online.

The runway may be her domain, but this time, Gigi Hadid stumbled off-course. As she grapples with the fallout, the world watches to see how she'll navigate the storm she inadvertently created.
