Hadid has stated repeatedly on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and elsewhere that she has symptoms attributed to chronic Lyme disease, a discredited diagnosis that has no scientific backing.

In January 2015, she revealed that, as a consequence of the illness that Hadid believes she has, she had "lost the ability to read, write, or even watch TV". Hadid also claimed that two of her children also have chronic Lyme. Hadid's memoir Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease was published in 2017.
