Bella Hadid was not a fan of Donald Trump’s “muslim ban,” and has broken her silence on the whole thing in a new interview with Porter magazine.

“My dad was a refugee when he first came to America, so it’s actually very close to home for my sister and brother and me,” she said. Her sister, Gigi Hadid, is also a supermodel. “He was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim.”

Her father, Mohamed Hadid, was born in Nazareth, Israel and lived in Syria and Lebanon before his family migrated to the United States at 14-years old. Now, he’s reportedly worth $200 million, according to Page Six. 

In February, Gigi and Bella marched in a protest against the immigration ban. After the march, Bella said to Elle magazine: “I come from a really diverse background. I’ve had incredible experiences all over the world… and I’ve learned that we’re all just people, and we all deserve respect and kindness. We shouldn’t treat people as if they don’t deserve kindness just because of their ethnicities. It’s just not right. And that message—to be compassionate whenever possible—that’s so important to me.”

Bella also shared her experience of having Lyme disease, which once left her unable to move. “I couldn’t get out of bed for six days,” she recalled. “My brain would get all foggy, and I couldn’t see. That was the hardest time of my life.”
