Singer admits ‘harsh words’ but adamantly denies domestic violence in argument with mother of partner Gigi Hadid

Zayn Malik has denied hitting Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his partner Gigi Hadid and grandmother of their child, in a domestic argument.

The pop singer and former member of boyband One Direction issued a statement, saying: “I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.” TMZ had reported the alleged attack earlier this week.
