Yolanda Foster SLAMS Rebecca Romijn for Shading Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner

Yolanda Foster went on the attack after she heard that former supermodel Rebecca Romijn had shaded her daughter, Gigi Hadid, and BFF Kendall Jenner.



Earlier this week, Romijn claimed that Hadid and Jenner were “not true supermodels.”


Romijn had suggested that Hadid and Jenner had only achieved success in the industry because of their large social media following, not because of their hard work or talent.


Foster, a former model herself, was having none of this.


Mama bear took to Twitter to scold Romijn for the unflattering words about her daughter.


“Kind, hard working and they accomplished more at half your age in the fashion industry @KendallJenner @GiGiHadid,” tweeted Foster.


“It’s THEIR hard work and daily commitment to their profession that got them where they R today #NoParentsInvolved,” she added.



Oddly enough, Foster launched her defense in response to what seemed like an apology from Romijn.


After the media reported on Romijn’s comments, she tried to explain that she wasn’t talking about Hadid or Jenner.


“Hey @kendalljenner @gigihadid don’t believe the #clickbait. Never talked smack about you. Both amazing & beautiful,” Romijn tweeted.


However, when a Twitter user brought up Romijn’s defensive comment, Foster shot back with: 


“Did you even bother to see what she said on entertainment tonight? No need 2 throw shade on hard-working children.”


To be clear, Romijn did not mention the young models by name, but was responding to a question ET posed about “the new generation of models such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.”


“No one has proven yet that numbers of followers translates to revenue,” Romijn said. “So it is frustrating.”


She went on to claim that many others in the industry echo her sentiments.


“I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it.” she continued.


Earlier this month, designer Calvin Klein shared similar thoughts about Kendall Jenner, saying he would never use her in his ads if he were still in charge of the company.

Rebecca Romijn: Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid Are NOT "True Supermodels"!

Earlier this month, iconic designer Calvin Klein dissed Kendall Jenner pretty hard when he said he wouldn’t use the reality star-turned-model in his ads if he was still at the helm of his clothing brand.



In case you missed it, Klein explained that models today are selected based on their social media following rather than their look or skills, which he thinks will ultimately prove bad for business.


And it appears he’s not the only one who feels this way.


Former supermodel Rebecca Romijn recently opined that models like Kendall and Gigi Hadid reached the top of their game due primarily to their popularity on social media.


“No one has proven yet that numbers of followers translates to revenue,” Romijn told Entertainment Tonight.


“So it is frustrating.”


She went on to reveal that many fashion industry professionals share her and Klein’s sentiments.


“I know a lot of people — legitimate fashion people — can’t stand it.” she continued.


“Hate it that these, you know, social media stars are now the supermodels in fashion.”


And then she dropped this bombshell:


“They are not true supermodels.”


HARSH.


She specifically blames one magazine for fueling the trend – one that has been regarded as the go-to fashion bible for years.


“The thing is, I have always looked to Vogue magazine to lead the way, not be a follower,”  Romijn continued.


“So I have been disappointed that fashion magazines have been supporting this trend of social media stars to set our style standards.


“But it will change; fashion always does.”
