A French influencer known for her glamorous lifestyle has reportedly been arrested in Dubai just days after she uploaded a video capturing Iranian missile strikes hitting the city.
Maeva Ghennam, 28, was promoting a product to her three million Instagram followers when she nervously confessed, 'My knees are shaking,' while documenting the nearby explosions.
Reports indicate that the social media star was taken into custody along with three other French citizens.
They are being questioned about their actions related to filming and sharing images amidst the ongoing conflict, according to the news outlet France Info.
In the now-removed video, Ghennam is seen covering her mouth in astonishment as she walks around her expansive 600-square-meter villa.
As the explosions echoed in the background, she filmed plumes of smoke rising into the sky.
Another clip, reportedly from the initial days of the conflict, displayed missiles being launched late at night.
The Marseille native can be heard exclaiming in this segment, 'Oh f***, the missiles, look from my place.'
Adding to her panic, she stated, 'I’m not lying, my stomach is in knots. I’m scared.'
Later, she expressed her shock on social media, stating, 'We, the French, aren’t used to this. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It’s very shocking.'
The situation continues to unfold as authorities investigate the influencer's activities in relation to the war.
