Some grandmas knit. Others bake cookies. Yolanda Hadid? She posts beach pics — and defends them like a pro.
On Saturday, June 22, the 61-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram with a birthday tribute for her son Anwar Hadid.
“?Happy birthday to you my son,” she wrote. “Your beautiful soul is multi dimensional… I love watching you do life your way and I am so very proud to call you my son.”

A post shared by YOLANDA (@yolanda.hadid)
featured a carousel of sweet family moments, including a shot of Anwar, 26, at the beach with his 4-year-old niece Khai — daughter of Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik — who appeared in a swimsuit.
But not everyone was feeling the family vibes.
“This is really inappropriate,” one commenter wrote. “A child’s privacy should always be respected. Posting such a photo is not okay. Please think about how this might affect her in the future.”

Yolanda fired back instantly. “Please go and harass somebody else’s feed,” the proud grandmother replied. “You are not welcome here!!!”
Still, most of the comments were filled with birthday wishes and support.
“Omg people are being sooo Extra!!! Beautiful family photos!” one person said.
“All I see is a kid in a bathing suit. There’s literally nothing inappropriate showing,” added another.
“That picture is nothing compared to how mothers expose their children on the internet to make money,” someone else chimed in. “Go after them with the same energy.”

The moment reignited a long-standing conversation around Khai’s privacy. Since her birth in September 2020, both Gigi, 30, and Malik, 32, have made it clear they don’t want her face shared online.
In a 2021 open letter to fans and press, the Next in Fashion co-host wrote, “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen… I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do.”
huge respect to gigi and zayn for letting khai choose when shes older if she wants to be in the spotlight or not and just protecting her now when she cant choose, and i hope paparazzi and others dont take pics of khai or blur her face out if they accidentally get her in the pics pic.twitter.com/HuWZDXDdLr
— sofia ? (@foreverloml) July 6, 2021Though Gigi and Malik split in 2021, the former pair have kept their focus on co-parenting.
“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” the global fashion icon told Vogue in March. “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.”
