Newly unsealed court documents related to the estate of Jeffrey Epstein reveal discussions about the rapid ascent of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, with Epstein offering crude and unsubstantiated theories about the source of their success. The exchanges, dating back to a period when the Hadid sisters were emerging as prominent figures in the fashion industry, show Epstein speculating about financial backing and offering sexually suggestive commentary.

According to the documents, a woman within Epstein’s social circle questioned how Gigi and Bella Hadid achieved such swift prominence, particularly given their relatively recent entry into the modeling world. Epstein responded with the assertion, “The father paid the agency,” suggesting that their father, Mohamed Hadid, a real estate developer, had financially influenced their careers. The exchange, reported by Mashable on February 11, 2026, then took a disturbing turn, with Epstein offering an inappropriate and unsubstantiated insinuation about the dynamics within the modeling industry.

The documents emphasize that there is no evidence linking the Hadid sisters to Epstein or any wrongdoing. Instead, the conversations appear to reflect Epstein’s own distorted worldview, characterized by a reduction of women’s professional achievements to exploitation and compliance. The released materials align with a broader pattern of misogynistic language and a preoccupation with acquiring influence, as highlighted in other Epstein files, including those involving Peter Mandelson, according to reporting by The Observer.

The newly released files also reveal Epstein’s discussions regarding other supermodels, including Naomi Campbell, who previously acknowledged being an acquaintance of the convicted sex offender. A New York Times report from February 15, 2026, details Epstein’s connections to Campbell, adding to the growing list of prominent figures whose names have surfaced in connection with the case.

The Department of Justice released the documents as part of a continuing effort to make public the records related to Epstein’s criminal activities. The files, consisting of emails and other communications, offer a glimpse into the inner workings of Epstein’s network and the attitudes prevalent among his associates. The content underscores a pervasive culture of misogyny and a focus on leveraging power and information, as noted by The Observer.

While the Hadid sisters have achieved significant success, collaborating with major fashion houses such as Versace, Chanel, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, and Miu Miu, the released documents serve as a stark reminder of the predatory environment that existed within Epstein’s sphere of influence. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, leaving behind a legacy of abuse and a complex web of connections that continue to be untangled.
