After Gigi Hadid's Cayman Island Arrest Sparked Bribery Rumors, Local Officials Have Responded

American model Gigi Hadid at Cannes Film Festival 2023. Red Carpet Firebrand (Le Jeu De La Reine). Cannes (France), May 21st, 2023

Gigi Hadid finds herself dealing with a legal issue, and it stems from her most recent tropical excursion. The model and media personality was arrested after reportedly flying to the Cayman Islands from the United States last week. She was reportedly taken into custody and charged with pot possession as well as drug paraphernalia. Sources close to the star have since provided alleged details on the circumstances surrounding the arrest. And now, authorities have also responded to claims of bribery in connection to the matter.

The 28-year-old made her way to the sunny locale in one of her private jets and, when she arrived on July 10, smoking utensils and a portion of marijuana were found in a bag. Per TMZ, agents for Customs & Border Control located the alleged items after putting the carrier through a scanner. However, one of the news outlet’s sources claims that the weed wasn’t located in the runway staple’s bag but in one belonging to her traveling companion. They further contended that she merely received the blame because it was carried on her aircraft.
