After Gigi Hadid and a friend were arrested on suspicion of trying to bring marijuana into the Cayman Islands, they celebrated their release by posting thirst traps from a hotel pool and beach.
The fashion model and TV personality shared photos and video from her Caribbean vacation on Instagram, showing herself posing with swimsuit-clad friends at a beachside resort to the accompaniment of oysters and some seriously tasty-looking margarita pizza. "All's well that ends well," Hadid captioned the post without directly addressing her arrest.
Hadid, who was briefly jailed, fared better than she might have. The supermodel, whose real name is Jelena Noura Hadid, and her friend, Leah Nicole McCarthy, admitted in court to illegally importing marijuana and the instruments to smoke it with. But, after paying a $1,200 fine, they walked away. The same charge can carry a three-year prison sentence with hard labor and, for some, seven years and a $20,000 fine, according to Cayman Islands law. And for the typical Caymanian, having such a drug charge on your record can make education, employment and travel difficult.
