Model and reality TV star, Yolanda Hadid, has publicly accused One Direction pop singer, Zayn Malik, of hitting her last week. Hadid stated she is considering pressing criminal charges against him. Malik has a 1-year-old daughter with Yolanda's daughter, Gigi Hadid. Yolanda went public with the allegations today.

Malik stated, "In an effort to protect that space I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been 'leaked' to the press."

Malik also stated, "I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private."
