Did Gigi Hadid Finally Speak Out After The Alleged Fight Between Her Mom And Zayn Malik?

According to court documents, Malik allegedly cursed at the grandmother of his daughter Khai, called her names, and told her to "stay away from [my] f***ing daughter."

Malik was also charged with harassing his partner Gigi Hadid. He allegedly screamed at her on a phone call to defend him against her mother.
Zayn pled no contest to the charges and was fined.

Malik also spoke out about the matter. He shared a Twitter post featuring a notes app statement expressing that he wishes his family issues weren't put on display. He wrote, "This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been 'leaked' to the press."
