Inside the scandalous secrets of The Hadid Family (a deep dive)

The Hadids are pretty well known in Hollywood, I wouldn’t say they have the same fame as the Kardashians, but they all run in the same circles and are well-known by the same people.

To me, the Hadid family had the potential to be like the Kardashians but it just never stuck no matter how many times Yoland Hadid competed and secretly disliked momager, Kris Jenner.

So let’s dig deep together into the family that is the Hadids while going into detail about their struggles, financial issues, traumatic insecurities, and sister jealousy.

The following information is according to a source unless otherwise stated.

Mohamed Hadid

Before we jump into the topics of Mohamed Hadid’s daughters Bella and Gigi, let’s first discuss some things about him.

Mohamed Hadid is a Palestinian-American real estate developer who is well known for building luxury hotels and mansions, mainly in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles and the city of Beverly Hills.

What you might not know though is that “he got his start-up from running drugs and women to foreign countries like Greece while also helping money laundering fronts,” my source tells me.

Growing up Mohamed lived with his dad Anwar Hadid (not to be confused with Mohamed’s son also named Anwar Hadid) and his mom Khairiah Hadid. They were a middle-class family living in the state of Washington D.C.

My source says that when Mohamed went to college, he reportedly got involved in money laundering fronts with people he met in Greece.

“Real estate is a good business to get into if you wanna cover up money laundering schemes. It’s hard to track down and pinpoint where someone is getting their money when they work in real estate. It makes a lot of money on its own so nobody will question why one month’s income is much higher than another.” —my source

My source alleges that the majority of Mohamed’s wealth came from “bringing women from Asia to Greece and hiring them to be ‘sex slaves.’”

He did eventually go bankrupt in the 90s and lost his family in the process— that, and the constant cheating, partying, and drugs he would do.

Mohamed’s first wife was Mary Butler. In his marriage with Mary, he had two other daughters, Marielle and Alana Hadid.

My source says that, “Gigi and Bella have a good relationship with their other two sisters” and that “Marielle and Alana don’t enjoy being in the spotlight and are more private.”

My source says that Mohamed has a good relationship with them despite his messy ways as a family man, back in the 90s.

My source goes on to tell me that Mohamed was cheating on Mary with Yolanda and has basically cheated on everyone he was with.

“Mohamed wasn’t a good example of how a man should act around his wife, kids, and even girlfriends. As early as childhood when Bella and Gigi were just kids, they remember their dad always throwing parties and doing drugs. They grew up knowing what their dad was like and it makes sense why they took after him in the drug and partying scene.” —my source

My source says that Mohamed’s cheating and his constant getting into relationships with young women gave Bella and Gigi a messed up reality of how women deserve to be treated in relationships.

“I mean I can’t imagine how it must feel watching your dad constantly bring home women that were more around your age than his. Almost as if this is just the way of life and you either have to get on with it or get left behind. I’m pretty sure Bella was more messed up about it because her relationship with Abel was the spitting image of what she saw growing up.” —my source

Yolanda Hadid

Yolanda Hadid was no savior in the Hadid household either. She is your typical self-centered mother who cares more about image and success than she does about her daughters.

My source says that growing up Bella felt insecure and ugly compared to Gigi and a big part of that was thanks to Yolanda constantly praising and favoring Gigi.

I’m not sure if any of this was done on purpose, but due to Yolanda’s favoritism towards Gigi, Bella always felt second best or just not good enough at all… which opened up a whole can of issues for them.

Yolanda was desperate for any type of fame and popularity her daughters could get, and she even allowed Bella to get a nose job at the age of 14.

Fourteen… she was a child and her brain wasn’t even fully developed when her mom allowed her to get a nose job at such a young and vulnerable age.

“Yolanda encouraged the nose job more than anything. She made Bella feel insecure that Gigi was the one with the western features and Bella had more of what she called ‘an ethnic nose.’” — my source

Bella now regrets getting her nose done and it’s almost as if a 14-year-old isn’t old enough to make life-altering decisions and needs her parents to act like parents.

Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid

Now speaking of Bella doing things that are worrisome based on her insecurities, here is a little update.

First things first, everyone is worried about Bella because she started going down the drug path again.

My source says that growing up in the Hadid household was not for the weak and it sort of opened them up to a lifetime of mental torture.

Their dad, Mohammed was allegedly constantly out cheating, doing drugs, and getting with women only a few years older than Bella and Gigi. Their mom, Yolanda Hadid, was willing to sell her soul just to garner a famous family name, even if that includes telling your kids to starve themselves so they can be popular…yep.

Yolanda’s motherly advice to Gigi

Bella has always been extremely insecure, and we have talked about that on this blog for years now. She is so insecure that according to my source, she reportedly goes through periods where she actively starves herself and goes on drug binges.

“I’m convinced Bella doesn’t eat more than once a day, and when she is eating it’s probably some cucumbers with a cube of cheese. I don’t understand why she does that to feel beautiful or worthy but her insecurities usually explain majority of her issues with her relationships and with Gigi [Hadid]” —my source

It’s actually very sad how insecure and hypocritical both Gigi and Bella are.

They would do unhealthy things for weight loss and then blame everything on the diseases their family claims they all have. Gigi would reportedly lose a bunch of weight from doing drugs, while Bella would lose a bunch of weight from starvation and also doing drugs.

Then they would both swear that they’re healthy and would never touch drugs.

When Gigi got caught doing cocaine in a video, she went off saying “That would never happen, I’d never do that” yet she was caught on camera doing exactly that.

I still laugh to this day.

After the video got leaked, my source told me…

“Their dad tried to scold Gigi at breakfast and she basically just rolled her eyes at his hypocrisy. She grew up seeing and knowing her dad was doing all kinds of party drugs so when he tried to be a parent, she just brushed him off. She couldn’t take him seriously.”

Remember how I said growing up in the Hadid household was not for the weak? Well here’s what my source had to say.

“They [Gigi, Bella & Anwar] grew up seeing their dad, their “role model” do a bunch of things that set them up for failure. When Bella had issues with The Weeknd’s cheating, he made it seem like all men cheat and that’s almost going to be inevitable, so might as well just be okay with it. He was always cheating on the women he was with and every time he got a new girlfriend she would just be younger than the last. It pretty much gave them a bad image of men in relationships.” —my source

If you add how growing up with their father’s toxic relationship mindset and all their insecurities, it makes sense why Bella was with The Weeknd for so long even when his cheating really bothered her.

My source said that when The Weeknd was cheating and doing drugs, Bella demanded he should stop. He told her “You can either take it or leave it” and she left. This is what started their first breakup back in November 2016.

Even though they were broken up, they would hook up all the time even while he was dating Selena Gomez.

you can imagine, this was surprising to hear but i guess not that suprising

When Abel (The Weeknd) was dating Selena, he and Bella were still hooking up which explains how fast they got back together when Selena was out of the picture. My source laughs at the hypocrisy of Abel cheating on Selena with Bella, aka the girl who left him because he was cheating on her.

However, Selena and The Weeknd were not a real relationship, just a PR, but with Bella’s math, it does seem hypocritical.

Abel and Bella even tried to work things out again back in 2021, but when she found out he was talking to Simi Khadra (his current girlfriend), she unfollowed Simi and her gang on Instagram and distanced herself from Abel.

I exposed in the November Tell All more about Bella’s insecurities and how that makes her secretly compete with Gigi.

Some of you guys were asking if Bella got with Gigi’s famous ex-boyfriends like Joe Jonas or Cody Simpson, and my source said it’s not that specific.

“It’s not about claiming all of Gigi’s exes. It’s this idea that Bella is capable of getting what Gigi gets overall. It can be from a modeling sense or from a guy perspective. Like ‘this guy is giving Gigi all of his attention, I wonder if he would like me too.’ Very general and it stems from years ago, guys that Gigi was with that the public didn’t know about. Sometimes it was a guy thinking they were both attractive and Bella being devastated at the thought of him wanting her sister and not her.” —my source

My source also says, it is like a friendly sister competition because Bella is too sweet to ever wanna hurt Gigi, but she does deal with a lot of insecurities we wouldn’t even know of.

Now before we finish this post let’s talk Hadid Family Illness Tree.

Hadid Family Illness Tree

One of the weirdest things about the Hadids is that they all struggle with illnesses that they use as excuses when they’re caught acting up. My source says they use their family diseases as an excuse and she even questions how legitimate these diseases are.

If you didn’t know, Yolanda, Bella, and Anwar all have Lyme Disease, while Gigi has Hashimoto's Disease.

Yup. Just one big family illness tree.

Now we can’t flat out say if this is true or not considering we don’t have doctor records on file at the moment, but many of my sources throughout the years have speculated that the entire thing is made up.

My sources talk about it like it’s a joke that Yolanda made up and basically says that whenever they need to pull out the sickness card, they do. They never see them struggle on a day-to-day basis with these so-called illnesses.

And I know very recently Bella has posted so much about her struggle with Lyme Disease, but I also know that I have many sources alleging that all Bella does all day is drugs and rarely eats.

So you do with that what you will.

Not to mention that when Bella posted about her struggle on Instagram, she made sure to show “proof” of medical records which I also found odd because most people who do struggle with an illness, don’t feel like they have to PROVE they have it.

At least she gets the name right and doesn’t confuse it for something else.

Bella could be the only one with the disease and that alone made Yolanda see a magical light bulb in her head or it could all be a scam at the end of the day. Like I said, I don’t know the whole story but the legitimacy of the Hadid diseases has been questioned by several sources over the years.
