Zayn Malik’s sister Safaa Malik has shown support for the brother after his split from girlfriend Gigi Hadid and was accused of striking Yolanda Hadid.
Safaa took to her social media handle to defend the singer and wrote, “Don’t react to toxic people. Not giving them a reaction when they desperately seek it, is far more powerful.”
“FAMILY: We may not have it all together, but together we have it all, I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid. For the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details,” she added.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old artist denied all the allegations of striking his mother-in-law and clear his side on Twitter, he stated, “As you all know I am a very private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up.”
He further added that his “private family matters” have been “thrown on the world stage” by one of Gigi’s family members. “In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to no contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”

“This was, and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press,” Malik went on to add.
“I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more important I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves,” Zayn concluded.
