Bella Hadid is reviewing an uncomfortable part of her past.
During the most recent episode of the VS Voices podcast, the 25- year-old runway design opened about her individual experiences with those she stated mistreated her in the past. Before remembering the particular circumstances, Hadid described how her teenage years impacted her relationships in the adult years.
“I always felt like my voice was never heard growing up,” Hadid stated. “I grew up around men—whether that was in relationships or family or whatever that was—where I was constantly told that my voice was less important than their voice.”
“Then moving into relationships growing up, not having the boundaries of being able to stick up for myself and have my voice being heard, affected me in my adult relationships very intensely actually, where my nervous system would crash,” she continued. “It was like fight or flight; either I would become silent and cry and just go inward, or I would lash out and leave.”
