“She doesn’t understand why she’s covered in the city, or what I’ve wanted to protect her from,” Hadid added. “I also want her to see the most amazing city in the world + the beautiful anddiverse people that walk down the streets of NYC… that is, without the stress of the media circus that comes with parents who are public figures.”
Hadid went on to note, “You know we have never intentionally shared our daughter’s face on social media.”
“Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen,” she continued. “It would mean the world to us,as we take our daughter to see and exploreNYC and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of the images, if and when she is caught on camera.”

Sheended her note with"a huge ‘Thank You’ to those paparazzi who have been so respectful, since I asked them to keep a distance while I walked with the stroller, since my first trip to NYC with Khai."
“I see you and I appreciate it,” said Hadid.
The star mused of Khai’s experience, “For a child, I can imagine that close or dramaticpaparazzi frenzies must be overwhelmingand disorienting … it still is as an adult that understands and deals with it often.”
“I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope you can understand where I’m coming from,” Hadid concluded. “With love, G.”
