Hailey Baldwin haaaates being called an “Insta model.” She tells Elle UK that “I work my ass off to make what I have and to prove that this is what I want to do.” Seemingly forgetting her last name is Baldwin, she adds, “I want to be a model. I don’t think I would be where I am if people didn’t see something in me.”
Baldwin continues to reason to everyone how she’s a real model, that she puts her photos on Instagram because she’s just showing it to people. “It’s not about me getting paid to model for things on Instagram – of course, sometimes we do get paid for things we do for Instagram and Twitter – but there is a line of calling someone an ‘Insta model’ or an ‘Insta star.'”
I mean, she’s not even on her phone that much to even be considered an “Insta model.” In an attempt to prove she possesses the ability to be a decent human being, she proclaims, “I’ll leave [my phone] in the car when I go to eat or I’ll leave it somewhere so I’m not checking it every two seconds.”
Hailey goes on to describe herself as, this is a real shocker, a “little nerdy.” A phrase that no attractive person has ever used to describe themselves with. “We sometimes call Kendall [Jenner] ‘Mamma Kens’ because she’s very rational. She has a good head on her shoulders and she’s a straight thinker…I’m kind of like an encyclopedia. I’m a little nerdy to be honest.”
Things get weird however when she talks about her devotion to scripture.
“It’s not funny when people joke about it, I actually find it quite offensive,” she shares of her spiritual beliefs. “It’s something that’s really important to me and I’ve seen it change a lot of people’s lives. It certainly did in my family. It’s something I plan to stick to for the rest of my life – raise my kids that way, marry someone who believes in the same things. It’s important to me.”
“Spirituality is a good way of being able to always be connected with something that’s bigger than you,” Baldwin adds. “It’s an anchor.’
In short, if you ever run into Hailey Baldwin, do not call her an “Insta model” or mockingly quote scripture to her. She will block you on social media.
