Jake Paul Mocks Zayn Malik & Gigi Hadid's Assault Scandal Nearly Two Years After His Infamous Twitter Feud With The Model
Jake Paul has broken his silence on Zayn Malik & Gigi Hadid's assault scandal — and subsequent break-up — years after his Twitter battle with the new mom.
On Friday, October 28, the boxer took to social media to get the last word in his infamous feud with the supermodel. "Your 'rEsPeCtFuL KiNg' punched your mom in the face," Paul tweeted above Gigi's original tweet slamming him.
The former Vine star and the Vogue cover girl went at it on the platform in 2020 after Paul (who spelled Malik's name wrong) wrote in a now deleted tweet — "Almost had to clap up zane from 1 direction because he is a little guy and has an attitude and basically told me to f--k off for no reason when I was being nice to him...."
"Zane ik you're reading this... stop being angry cause u came home alone to ur big ass hotel room hahaha," Paul finished the February 23, 2020 tweet.
Gigi fired back at the YouTuber, defending the father of her daughter as she wrote: "Lol cause he doesn’t care to hang w you and your embarrassing crew of YouTube groupies ..? Home alone with his best friends like a respectful king cause he has me, sweetie. Unbothered by your irrelevant ugly ass. Go to bed ..."
This comment comes as news broke on Thursday, October 28 that the runway star's mother Yolanda Hadid claimed that the former boy band member had allegedly hit her.

According to a statement given to TMZ, Malik said: "I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private."
The 26-year-old released a statement of her own via her representative that read, "Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time."
Mere hours later, reports surfaced that the couple — who have been linked on and off since 2015 — had officially called it quits.
As OK! previously reported on Friday, October 29, the "PILLOWTALK" singer reportedly pleaded no contest to harassment after being charged with four criminal offenses for the alleged September 29 argument with both Gigi and Yolanda.
The musician — according to legal papers — pled guilty to one charge, while court officials told the outlet he actually pled no contest.
According to reports, Malik allegedly called the former RHOBH star a "f***ing Dutch sl*t," and told her to "stay away from [my] f***ing daughter."
