It is reported that the girl who won the second place in the 2021 French beauty pageant is being insulted on social media.
This is because she is of Israeli descent.
April Benaoum, 21, revealed her Israeli background in an interview during the match.
At the same time, she was insulted on Twitter by various people.
Later in a press conference, she had said that her relatives had informed her about the abusive remarks made against her on social media.
“We are in 2020. It’s sad to see such behavior, but I’m not discouraged by that.”
The French Interior Ministry said an investigation was underway into the abusive social media posts.
