The father of Gigi and Bella Hadid has reportedly bombarded a New York congressman with apparent homophobic and racist remarks.
Mohamed Hadid, a luxury real estate developer, has spent the past few months messaging Representative Ritchie Torres, according to the New York Post.
Torres has seemingly become a target for Hadid over his outspoken defense of Israel since the Hamas attack last October, with Hadid being Palestinian.
In one message shared by the outlet, Hadid said: 'You worse than the rats of New York sewage system.
'They have bigger brains than you. You might get a job as bouncer at gay bar,' he is also said to have added that Torres was a 'slave to whites.'

The messages are also said to have continued with: 'Make sure you dress as KKK to hide that ugly gray colored face of yours. I know about Bronx.'
Torres made history when in 2021 he was the first openly gay African American and openly gay Hispanic member of Congress.
In another message, the outlet reported that Hadid said: 'You are just unusual Black and colorful mouth for Israeli and AIPAC and looking for payday of over 500K.'
Hadid had been referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.
Speaking to the post, Torres said: 'Whether it is dehumanizing me as worse than the rats of the NYC sewage system or telling me to dress like the KKK to ‘hide that gray colored face of yours,’ Mr. Hadid has hurled just about every racist insult at me shorting of calling me the N-word.
'That Mr. Hadid felt so at ease demonizing and dehumanizing a black Member of Congress reveals a tragic truth about our politics: if you are a person of color and pro-Israel, you are fair game for racist invective.'
Hadid previously came under attack after posting an image on Instagram showing the flag of Israel split with the flag of the Nazi Party, comparing the two.

The image also compared the method of the Nazi gas chambers to the bombing of Gaza, and Auschwitz to the Gaza Strip
The post read that the Nazi Party had been 'founded on Aryan supremacy' while Israel was 'founded on Jewish supremacy.'
It also compared the Nazi's 'signature method' of the 'gas chambers' to Israel's 'signature method' of 'carpet bombing'.
Mohamed, who was born into a Palestinian family in Nazareth, captioned the post: 'And both added and labeled the victims as terrorists, regardless of other activities.
'Some Palestinians and some Jews even changed their names.'
Last month he called President Joe Biden a 'Zionist war criminal' who will be 'hunted down like the Nazis'.
In yet another scathing post against Israel and the US, he wrote: 'This is Biden's war on the Palestinian people.
'He will be in the court with the rest of the Zionist Criminals. We will hunt them down like they did the Nazis.'
Hadid has previously stepped in to defend his model daughters, who are outspoken about their support for Palestine.

'My kids always have followed their intuition when it comes to human torture and human nature - what happens to humans on earth. From the disaster in Turkey to the famine in Africa and homelessness in Southeast Asia, they have been involved in these things, building schools for UNICEF and so on.
'It's always been a humanitarian issue in their blood, nothing to do with being Palestinian,' he said.
Gigi sparked outrage with her Instagram story labeling Manasra a 'child prisoner of war.' In 2013, Manasra - then 12 - went on a stabbing rampage in Jerusalem.
She was also slammed for sharing a Reel in about Israelis harvesting Palestinian organs that had been posted online by a TikTok make-up artist from Cardiff, Wales.
The video highlighted a documentary in which Israeli health officials talked about doctors harvesting organs from in the 1990s.
In her apology note, Hadid wrote: 'It is important to me to share real stories about the hardships that Palestinians have endured and continue to endure, but this weekend I shared something that I did not fact check or think deeply about prior to reposting.
'Unfortunately, I used the wrong example to make that point, and I regret that.' Bella Hadid has also been outspoken in her support of Palestine since the conflict broke out.
