Jordanian Influencer Assel Alqadi Criticizes Lebanese News Anchor Nabila Awad Over Boycott Stance
Jordanian influencer Assel Alqadi ignited a heated debate by publicly criticizing Lebanese news anchor Nabila Awad for not supporting a boycott. Alqadi condemned Awad’s focus on maintaining her lifestyle over participating in the boycott, stating, “If the most cultured of us think like this, then we’re not even a third-world country.” This comment has polarized the Jordanian community, with some backing Alqadi’s stance and others defending Awad’s right to make her own choices.
Jordanian Community Reactions
The Jordanian community’s reaction to this controversy has been divided. Many supporters of Alqadi argue that the boycott is crucial and that influential figures like Awad have a responsibility to lead by example. They believe that maintaining the boycott is essential for continuing the fight and raising awareness.
On the other hand, Awad’s defenders argue that personal choices and professional commitments should be respected. They emphasize that everyone has the right to decide how they engage with social and political issues, without facing public shaming.
And Assel wasn’t the only one, with Lebanese journalist and war correspondent Ghadi Francis responding to MTV in a similar way
This incident underscores the broader conversation about the role of influencers and public figures in social and political activism. While some believe that those with significant followings have a duty to lead by example, others argue for the importance of personal freedom and choice.
