According to the DailyMail, the Vogue cover girl has been accused of treating less famous people like "second-class citizens" following an altercation between her security details and a Russian Influencer.

The influencer Polina Nioly Pushkareva took to Instagram to share a clip she claimed was taken after Hadid's security guard damaged her sheer black gown at the Cannes Film Festival.

"It is your most important day, and you wear your first ever couture dress on the Cannes Red Carpet. You stand in your hotel in line for the car for the carpet. And Bella Hadid's bodyguards scream at everyone: 'MOVE,' push to the sides and step on your dress so it rips off," the video read.

Although Pushkareva described Hadid as "incredible," "nice," and "friendly," she went further to register her displeasure with the fashionista's security team, which she slammed for making her feel disrespected.

"Bella is incredible, she has a really good vibe, but this idea of celebrities being more important than others is insane," the influencer wrote. "Other people ALSO spend money on their outfits, have a team of 20 people, and spend money to get ready."

"They also stress out, but celebrities still think it's more important for them to walk on the Red Carpet," she added.

The aggrieved actress then claimed that when she films content in public, she takes caution not to inconvenience people and apologizes whenever she causes any disruption.

"You can see me awkwardly smiling 'cause I know that hundreds of cameras see this situation, I did tell her bodyguard that he damaged my dress, and he was like, 'but you understand the situation,'" she added.

The Russian influencer later took to her Instagram story, where she weighed in on the rising support for celeb cancel culture due to behaviors like the one she encountered with Hadid.

Pushkareva explained to her followers that the alleged incident is an example of why people feel "outrage" toward celebrities nowadays.

She said, "We're staying in the same hotel with these celebrities. We're paying the same prices for rooms. We also have cars, we also have a huge team. I'm also paying for my outfit."

"Why the f--k do you believe that you have more rights or some priority rights to use spaces of the hotel where we're both staying?" she added.

Several users then commented on the clip to console her, while others slammed Hadid's security team.

One individual tagged Hadid and wrote, "We love you, but please have your bodyguard apologize, at least a simple 'I'm sorry' instead of 'you do see the situation' and offer to fix the dress."

"So sorry this happened to you," another user said. "Celebrity or not, people need to treat others with respect, and unfortunately, some security teams miss that memo."

Despite the alleged incident about Hadid's security team's bad behavior, the 27-year-old supermodel still stole attention, as usual, with a seemingly sultry ensemble.

In a trending video on X, the Cannes fixture can be seen attending "The Apprentice" premiere on Monday, where she went braless in a sheer brown Saint Lauren dress.

Hadid's outfit was a full look from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello, which included a sheer midi dress with rushing in silk and the brand's beloved La Scandale wedges.

Parts of her body were strategically covered with a thin, thick, heavier-colored portion of the material, and the model had her dark brown hair styled to the side, allowing it to flow freely over her chest.

The Supermodel Donned A Plunging Silver Gown

According to reports, Hadid also turned up in style on Tuesday when she attended Chopard's Once Upon A Time dinner at Hôtel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in France.

For the event, she went braless again under a plunging silver gown that showcased her hourglass figure.

Hadid completed the look with dazzling diamond earrings and a necklace that complemented the jewel detailing on her gown.
