Gigi Hadid Faces Backlash Over Melania Trump Impression At AMA’s

Funny? Or Too Far?

Model Gigi Hadid is taking some heat online after doing an impression of Melanie Trump while hosting the American Music Awards on Sunday night.

During her opening monologue with co-host Jay Pharoah, Hadid put on a fake Eastern European accent and a pulled Melania-style pout to mock the soon-to-be First Lady. She said “I love my husband, President Barack Obama and our children Sasha and Malia,” mocking Melania’s RNC speech that lifted material from a speech given by Michelle Obama.

Hadid’s impression has gotten mixed reviews on social media, with some people calling her racist for the impression.
