Gigi Hadid savaged on Twitter for 'racist' Melania Trump impression

Gigi Hadid has been savaged on social media over her 'racist' impression of Melania Trump during her American Music Awards opening set on Sunday.

The model, 21, put on a fake Eastern European accent and a pulled Melania-style pout to mock the soon-to-be First Lady in the wake of her recent plagiarism row, the Daily Mail reports.

“I love my husband, President Barack Obama. And our children Sasha and Malia,” Gigi said, in a joke referring to accusations that Donald Trump's wife had ripped off a speech by Michelle Obama at the RNC.
