Yolanda Hadid Slams Olympian for Bella Hadid/Nike Hate
Yolanda Hadid to Hater/Olympian Bella Was a Real Deal Athlete ... Before Lyme Disease
Bella Hadid's mom is striking back at the Olympic gold medalist who trolled Bella for her new deal as a Nike brand ambassador.
Figure skater Meryl Davis basically slammed Bella for working with the athletic giant -- posting a pic of Bella with the swoosh, Kylie Jenner in Puma gear and gymnast Aly Raisman ... with the caption, "I'll take the one promoted by the athlete please."
Mama bear ain't happy. Yolanda Hadid tells TMZ, Bella had Olympic dreams and competed in equestrian riding every weekend from age 3 until 15, when Bella got Lyme disease. She says Bella was forced to quit riding competitively.
The disease can fog the brain and slow reaction times -- an obvious danger while riding.
Athletics aside ... Yolanda added, "You obviously don't have to be an athlete to wear or enjoy Nike wear."
