Georgeโs mother on her daughter
In a statement, the influencerโs daughter spoke about her daughterโs behaviour before the incident and was quoted saying, โThe day before the incident, she did not seem like herself.โ
She added, โThat evening they went to a bar in Dubai. When I spoke to Brooke right after the incident, she was absolutely terrified. I have never seen my daughter so frightened in my life. She was crying uncontrollably. I could see that one of her eyes was badly swollen and was beginning to close.โ
What netizens are saying
I believe it was self defense. I stand with her in support.
Death by firing squad??? This is clearly domestic violence.
She could have gone to the police. Contrary to what you see on the media they do help. They would have helped her immediately. He would have been imprisoned and charged with all the crimes she stated he committed.
Scary I know one American girl who befriended this Kuwaiti guy and he was asking her to meet him in Dubai, glad she never went .
And if it was a British man would the British government make the same call?
