Gigi Hadid Arrested For Marijuana Possession In Cayman Islands, Released On Bail

Supermodel Gigi Hadid was arrested in the Cayman Islands on suspicion of drug possession after customs officials found marijuana in her luggage.

This is not the first time Hadid has been associated with drug-related news; in 2015, she faced criticism for an incident involving cocaine at a Victoria's Secret event.

According to local news outlet Cayman Marl Road, Gigi Hadid and a friend arrived in the Cayman Islands via a private plane. During a customs inspection, authorities reportedly found marijuana and related items in their luggage, resulting in their arrest on suspicion of importing marijuana. They were later released on bail after being taken to the Prisoner Detention Center. Two days later, on July 12, they appeared in court, pleaded guilty, and were each fined $1,000. No further charges have been filed against them.

Gigi's representative provided a statement to E! News, stating that she had legally purchased the marijuana in New York City with a medical license. The representative also mentioned that marijuana has been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. They emphasized that Gigi's record remains clear, and she enjoyed the remainder of her time on the island.

In April, Gigi Hadid visited Mumbai to attend the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. She made a fashionable statement at the event, wearing a floral-print three-piece set and graciously posing for the gathered paparazzi.

On the personal front, there are rumors about Gigi dating Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, although neither party has confirmed the relationship. Previously, Gigi was in a relationship with singer Zayn Malik. Speculation about their connection began after they appeared together at New York City's Fashion Week in September 2022. Since then, they have been seen together at various public gatherings. According to a recent report by Page Six, the couple seemingly spent the weekend together.
