Gigi Hadid’s Sister Alana Appears to Poke Fun at Rudy Giuliani’s Health: ‘Might Get Me in Trouble’
Alana Hadid reacted to the news that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is hospitalized in critical condition.
The 40-year-old sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid shared an Instagram reel on Sunday, May 3 — after Giuliani’s spokesman said the 81-year-old was hospitalized in Florida — with a sound over it that said, “Girl… This is awesome.”
She simply captioned the post, “So what did everyone have for lunch today?” In the comments section, she added, “This one might get me in trouble 😂 .”
Many people chimed in agreeing with the author. However, one person wrote, “If empathy only applies to people we agree with, it’s not really empathy.”
Alana — whose father, Mohamed Hadid, is Palestinian — replied in the comments with, “When your politics endangers my life it’s no longer an opinion.”
Giuliani has a long history of disparaging Palestine. “The Palestinians are taught to kill us at 2 years old,” he declared at a 2024 Trump rally, per ABC News.
Though it is unclear why Giuliani was hospitalized, spokesman Ted Goodman said in a statement via X, “Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak. We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor-Rudy Giuliani.”
Though Giuliani was known to unite New York City during the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, he has come under fire in recent years after he helped to try to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
According to CNN, Giuliani appeared Friday on his X show America’s Mayor Live but said that his “voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak as loudly as I usually do.” He was reportedly seen coughing a few times on the show.
The president, 79, reacted to the news on his Truth Social account.
“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition,” he wrote.
“What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!” the Apprentice alum added. “They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy.”
“So sad!” Trump concluded.
