Gigi Hadid Pens Open Letter to Paparazzi In Hopes of Protecting Daughter Khai's Privacy

And that’s what she is asking—pleading—for today. “You know we have never intentionally shared our daughters face on social media,” Gigi added. “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen.”

As she continued, “It would mean the world to us, as we take our daughter to see and explore NYC and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of images, if and when she is caught on camera. I know it’s an extra effort—but as a new mom, I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do…and I hope this can continue the conversation to protect minors in the media, even if they come from a public family.”

Gigi applauded those already doing so, giving them a “huge ‘thank you'” for respecting Khai and her wishes: “I see you and I appreciate it.”

“For a child, I can imagine that close or dramatic paparazzi frenzies must be overwhelming and disorienting…it still is as an adult that understands and deals with it often,” she concluded. “I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope you can understand where I’m coming from. With love, G.”
