The reported exchange is not evidence that either sister did anything wrong—or that the speculation about their success was true.
What the 2015 email reportedly said
The Daily Beast reported that the correspondent asked how the Hadid sisters had become models and earned so much money. The correspondent speculated that their father, Mohammed Hadid, might have paid their modeling agency. According to the report, Epstein answered “no.” The correspondent then made a crude sexual remark, to which Epstein reportedly replied “agreed.”
Those details and quotations are attributed to The Daily Beast’s account of the email. The exact original email was not independently opened or authenticated in the sources consulted here. The reported exchange records speculation and crude conversation; it does not establish that the speculation was true or that the sisters engaged in misconduct.
What Gigi Hadid said in response
The Daily Beast reported that Gigi Hadid addressed the mention in an archived Instagram comment. She said it was horrible to read someone she had never met speak about her in that context. She explained that she had not commented earlier because she did not want to draw attention away from victims’ stories. She also stated that she had never met Epstein and had no affiliation with him.
#1 Best Overall
In the same comment, as quoted by The Daily Beast, Hadid described her path into modeling: her mother took her to meetings with New York agencies, including two that had signed her mother, and she joined IMG in 2012, which she said had no link to her mother. Hadid acknowledged growing up privileged and described her parents as having taught her to work hard. These are her reported account of her career, not independent findings about the email.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Epstein Library provides access to datasets and court records. The department cautions that, despite review and redaction efforts, sensitive material could inadvertently be posted, and says it redacts victims’ names and identifying information. The portal’s existence does not independently authenticate the particular email described by The Daily Beast.
Rank #2
- Used Book in Good Condition
Separately, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced that it released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records provided by DOJ on September 2, 2025. That release count provides context about the volume of records made public; it is not a statistic about the Hadid sisters or confirmation of the email’s contents.
Quick Recap
Rank #3
How to interpret the mention
- A name in a record is not proof of wrongdoing. The reported email mentions the sisters in a conversation about their modeling success.
- The payment theory was speculation. The Daily Beast says Epstein answered “no” to the correspondent’s suggestion about their father paying an agency.
- Keep the evidence categories separate. The email’s reported contents come from The Daily Beast; Gigi Hadid’s response is her reported statement; DOJ and House sources provide broader records-release context.
