Gigi Hadid has admitted she considered quitting as a model because she let her critics get to her.
The 20-year-old beauty said she struggles with the negative things said about her online but has learned to use her "voice" to speak out and help others in similar situations, reported Female First.
"I am human and try not to read it all the time - but it does get to me, I think that when you go through something like that, and you're really almost letting it affect what you think of yourself - it was getting to a place where I was almost like, 'Should I be here?' And I was like, 'I shouldn't be questioning doing my job because people are being mean on the Internet.
"So I just felt like I wasn't scared to have a voice. Some people might think that it was maybe aggressive, but I just think that I was doing it because I want to stand up for myself. I think that I have the right to have a say because we all do on social media," she said.
