Yolanda Hadid has found herself at the centre of a backlash from concerned fans of her daughter Bella.
Fans of the supermodel have slammed the reality star for allowing her child to get a nose job when she was just 14 years old.
The 58-year-old The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star found fame on the Bravo show in 2012 when she started appearing alongside other rich wives of the series – with daughters Bella and Gigi, now 25 and 26 respectively, being brought along for the ride.
But in a new interview with Vogue magazine released this week, Bella has revealed that she felt pressure to change her looks after finding fame at such a young age as she struggled with life in the spotlight and being in her sister’s shadow.
In her interview, the reality star turned model explained that she underwent a nose job when she was just 14-years-old – and that she now regrets the decision.
Fans of the model have now lashed out at Dutch-born Yolanda for what they consider a complete failure of parenting.
Many have taken to social media to blast the mother-of-three – with one writing: “No 14-year-old just wants plastic surgery just because, unless they've had a certain feature pointed out so many times to the point that they are insecure.”
Another argued: “'How much do you want to bet Yolanda was the main one making Bella feel that way about her nose? Then ALLOWING SURGERY?”
A further fan blasted: “At 14, you are just too young to have a nose job… Yolanda should have never had kids!”
And one of many more wrote: “The fact Yolanda let Bella at 14 get a nose job… that’s not a good mother.”
In her Vogue interview, Bella said: “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it.”
Curiously Bella’s father, Mohamed Hadid, who is a Jordanian-American of Palestinian Muslim descent who was born in Nazareth in the 1940s, has not been targeted by fans for allowing his daughter to get a nose job when she was 14.
And he appears to have avoided scorn from social media followers or accusations of being a 'bad father'.
Rules and laws about cosmetic surgeries vary in countries around the USA, but in California – which is considered a plastic surgery capital of the world – it is possible to go under the knife at an early age.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (AMPS) suggests Rhinoplasty – aka a nose job – can be: “performed when the nose has completed 90% of its growth, which can occur as early as age 13 or 14 in girls and 15 or 16 in boys.”
And according to the American Academy of Pediatrics: “Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed before the age of 18. However, teens need a parent to sign a rhinoplasty consent form to undergo a nose job if they are under the age of 18.”
