This is what I call love after lockup. Gigi Hadid—model, cashmere seller, mom—was arrested a week ago (though reports just came out) for bringing marijuana to the Cayman Islands, though she was quickly released on bail. Hours after the story broke, Hadid appeared to respond to the scandal by posting pictures and videos from her beach vacation with the caption “All’s well that ends well.” That’s Shakespeare, folks.
“Mermaids smokes seaweed,” wrote one clever commenter. “She said chile anyway so,” added another. Sure.
From her tags, it looks like she was traveling with friends Patrick Dooley, Alana O’Herlihy, and Leah McCarthy; reports suggest that Hadid and one of her friends pleaded guilty in court and paid a $1,000 fine. They are not facing any charges. Glad to see the gang is thriving! (Oh, and if you don’t think people need to sit in a jail cell for the simple act of carrying la ganja, you can donate to a bail fund here.) Gigi’s vacay looks so fun! She previously posted playful pics showing off her beachy waves and a giant dragon tattoo that at the time we assumed was fake, but now we’re wondering if maybe her time in the clink needed to be commemorated with ink.
After news of the incident surfaced, a rep for Hadid said, “Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license. It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island.” Clearly they all did. Isn’t it so great when things are great?
Can’t wait for Gigi Hadid to pivot to being a Hot Earth Mama type who smokes blunts on Supreme billboards and sells a line of $250 lighters.
