Influencer Armani receives help from the Netherlands after a blind date scandal in Morocco

Armani Joumani, who grew up in the Netherlands but also holds Moroccan citizenship, participated in the “Blind Date by Outfit” program on YouTube. In the video, she chose her date based on their outfits. Her choice of a short skirt and rejecting a candidate who does not own a dog did not win the approval of many Moroccan viewers.

The video sparked a storm of criticism on social media, and Armani Joumani was accused of wearing inappropriate clothing and disrespecting Moroccan culture. The Moroccan Ministry of Justice opened an investigation into the video to determine whether it constitutes incitement to prostitution.

Armani L'Goumani apologized for the uproar in its TikTok video. She said that she did not expect her choice of clothing to offend Moroccans because she grew up in the Netherlands, where such clothing choices are considered normal. She also confirmed that she was wearing shorts under her skirt.
