From what I can see on stan twitter, most people are taking Zayn's side. I've seen a lot of 'if Yolanda was my MIL, I'd strike her too'. Does that mean they believe Zayn was violent because in the same sentence, they'll say he did nothing of the sort and to believe he did means you're racist. Someone quite literally said nobody would care if Zayn was white. Obviously vile, racist comments have been made about Zayn throughout his career but of course the world would be talking about someone from one of the most famous boybands ever hitting the mother of one of the most famous models ever no matter what race they are, it just doesn't help that he isn't white and stereotypes will be made. They are using the rumours they made up themselves about Yolanda forcing herself into the house to take pictures of the baby as gospel - do they realise that they can't use that as an excuse when it could've well likely not even happened...
I think two truths can exist at once . Yolanda is an utter bitch who treats her daughters like rubbish and would exploit her grand daughter for money and attention and that Zayn isn't exactly the calm, gentle angel that his fans think he is and used sickening language to describe his own daughter. If they have documents put in place to ensure that nobody can take pictures of Khai to sell or post online and Yolanda was going to do this, surely they could take her to court. I don't know if he struck her or not but it really doesn't sit right with me no matter what she was doing.....
