Supermodel Gigi Hadid says she feels "insulted" by an allegation that she snorted cocaine at an event.

After heading to Miami with boyfriend Cody Simpson to host the event, Hadid came across a publication with a headline and photograph that suggested she was snorting cocaine, reports eonline.com.

As it turns out, the story was far from the truth.

"@OCEANUP you are the pits of the world. It's very sad that you need to go to those lengths for someone to maybe read your s**t blog. If u actually watch the video there is nothing on the counter. 5 sec's before you see that image... It's not only impossible but insane to me," Hadid tweeted.

She further went on to assure fans that she would never do such a thing, especially when her career was involved.

"Besides for doing the supposed in general, I'd be an idiot to do that at a WORK EVENT in front of hundreds of people/press. I'm insulted," she said.

At just 19 years old, Hadid has found success in the fashion and modelling industry. Be it walking in fashion shows around the world or modelling for famous brands like Tom Ford and Maybelline, the young supermodel takes pride in her work.
