MIAMI, March 16 (UPI) — Teenage model Gigi Hadid said on Twitter Sunday she was insulted by a report by gossip blog “Ocean Up” that claimed she was using cocaine during a spring break event in Miami over the weekend.
“@OCEANUP you are the pits of the world. It’s very sad that you need to go to those lengths for someone to maybe read your [expletive] blog,” she commented in a tweet of a blog post by the site titled: “Gigi Hadid Snorting Cocaine At Victoria’s Secret In Cody Simpson Snapchat Story VIDEO?!”

In another comment, the 19-year-old model pointed out that there is nothing on the counter from which she allegedly “snorted cocaine” in the begging of the video posted by the site.
If u actually watch the video there is nothing on the counter .5 sec’s before you see that image.. It’s not only impossible but insane to me— Gigi Hadid (@GiGiHadid) March 15, 2015
“Besides for doing the supposed in general, I’d be an idiot to do that at a WORK EVENT in front of hundreds of people/press. I’m insulted” she wrote in a follow up tweet, adding that she steers clear of drugs because she takes pride in being a role model for young women.
I take pride in being a good role model, would never touch that, & will not stand for or put up with a little piece of scum blog like OU.— Gigi Hadid (@GiGiHadid) March 15, 2015
Though Ocean Up did not respond to Hadid’s comment, the site did repost her tweets in their own Twitter feed.
