You are an idiot, stupid and unwelcome in Saudi Arabia, we should not see you in Saudi Arabia, go to hell 🥾 pic.twitter.com/wpSmTtx0Aq
This is a shame what u did with that “bra”. It’s not acceptable in Saudi Arabia. Maybe People, who arranged this, didn’t tell you about the rules in Saudi. When u are in different country than yours u have to respect the culture of that country. Shameful.
