After Heated New Hope Fight, Zayn Malik Pled No Contest To Harassment: Reports

NEW HOPE, PA — An argument in a New Hope home recently garnered national attention after criminal charges were filed — because the dispute was between pop star Zayn Malik and former model Yolanda Hadid.

According to reports from multiple outlets, the fight also roughly coincided with the timing of a split between Malik and supermodel Gigi Hadid, a high-profile celebrity couple. The in-law spat reportedly took place at Malik's Bucks County ranch.

TMZ broke the story on Friday, saying that Malik was charged with four counts of harassment, to which he pled no contest. The outlet said that according to court documents, Malik shouted profanities at Yolanda in his home on Sep. 29.

Yolanda also alleged that Malik shoved her into a dresser, "causing mental anguish and physical pain." He denies any physical contact.

In a statement posted online, Malik said he agreed not to contest harassment claims in an effort to protect his 1-year-old daughter's privacy.

"This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been 'leaked' to the press," he wrote.

Malik was also charged with harassment of Gigi and a security guard, according to TMZ; Gigi was reportedly in Paris at the time, but he allegedly yelled at her over the phone. The court documents say Malik tried to fight the security guard in an effort to get him to leave the home.

Malik was reportedly fined after the no-contest plea on Wednesday, with conditions including 90 days probation for each count (totaling 360 days), required completion of an anger management class and a domestic violence program, and no contact with Yolanda or the security guard.
