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.
'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.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter where they criticized Hadid's impression as 'racist' and 'disrespectful' while others told her to 'stick to modeling'
The impression was easily the most memorable moment of Gigi's debut hosting gig, which also saw her try her hand at rapping as well as going through a series of outfit changes.
But the skit, did not sit well with many viewers who criticized it as being 'racist' and told Hadid to 'stick to modeling'.
