“You never know what someone’s battling inside,” read the caption of the viral video, which featured models like Bella Hadid.

Bella’s walk was scrutinized online after the iconic fashion show.

Many claimed she was struggling to walk with her enormous angel wings for her final walk.

“Bella Hadid, what the f*** wrong with you,” one commenter asked on TikTok.

The 29-year-old model felt compelled to explain herself, saying she was dealing with her period and also still recovering from being hospitalized for symptoms of Lyme disease last month.

“Girl I got my period that morning and my stamina is not up yet after the whole hospital sitch, but I tried my best and I LOVEEEE you for this I’m ok I swear,” she responded to the comment.

“I’m sorry if I let u down. Love you I mean it,” she added.
