China is causing problems for Victoria's Secret show
Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry will not be allowed to attend the Victoria's Secret fashion show in China this year. The Chinese government denied both celebs access to the communist country.
Gigi was denied a visa because of a racist video she did on Instagram with sister Bella that where she squinted her eyes while holding a Buddha cookie. Chinese officials told Victoria's Secret not to bring Gigi as a model or the would consider banning the brand, according to MSN.
It was the Chinese public that pushed for her not to come, taking to social media calling her a racist.

Katy Perry, who was scheduled to perform at the lingerie show was denied a visa for her 2015 show of support for Taiwan, according to FOX News.
