Later on Friday, July 15, however, owing to the huge social media storm and rumors this food post of hers generated, the supermodel assured there was no hidden meaning in the photo.

The model wrote another message for social media users and her critics saying: "Sometimes a salad is just a salad. I promise: no coded messages or political commentary here. Wishing everyone love."
