Along with dealing with Lyme disease, Bella Hadid opened up about her relationship with alcohol. But during this time, “She is not in rehab and has never had a drug or alcohol issue.” In March Hadid had shared with the public that she was indeed “5 months alcohol free.” The source confirmed that Hadid is now 9 months sober.
People had previously doubted her Lyme disease diagnosis and her mother Yolanda Hadid had defended these commentators. In 2016 at the Global Lyme Alliance’s second annual gala, Bella Hadid won the award named, “Uniting for a Lyme-Free World.” At the event, before Yolanda Hadid introduced her daughter she said, “It’s hard for people to understand the invisible disability that owns our life, especially behind the beautiful face that shines so bright on the covers of magazines.”
