Long a fixture on the catwalks and in fashion campaigns, Bella Hadid had to abruptly halt her career due to Lyme disease, diagnosed in her teens. Still recovering from intensive treatment in 2023, the 29-year-old American model now recounts how this forced break made her feel "disposable" in an industry where everything moves fast and faces are replaced in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n

A forced break that makes her feel "disposable"<\/h2>\n

In an interview<\/a> with her sister Gigi, Bella explains that she had to turn down almost all contracts for nearly a year while undergoing intensive treatment for Lyme disease. She confides that she was overwhelmed by emotion, with the feeling of being "replaceable" as soon as she was no longer available to work.<\/p>\n

This break forced her to question a deeply held belief: for a long time, she thought she didn't have the right to refuse a job, that her worth depended on the number of campaigns and fashion shows she accepted. Today, she asserts the opposite: that her "worth has nothing to do with jobs" and that she can choose projects aligned with her values and the people she "loves, trusts, and respects." <\/p>\n
