Gigi Gorgeous Breaks Silence After Being Detained in Dubai

Gigi Gorgeous has taken to her Instagram account to reveal she is “safe and sound” after being detained at the Dubai airport for being transgender.

The 24-year-old model and social media influencer was held for over five hours and her friend Nats Getty came to her rescue.

“After being detained and held at the Dubai airport for over 5 hours, this was the moment my baby came to rescue me. Yesterday was one of the scariest moments of my entire life and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. How you can be denied entry somewhere just because of who you are is seriously disgusting and also very scary. This further proves the need for CHANGE. I am now on my way to somewhere much more accepting. Safe and sound and happy. I love you guys,” Gigi captioned the below photo.
