Moroccan restaurant Dar Yemma, located in Astoria, United States, is the victim of a harassment campaign led by French influencer Kenza Benchrif, better known as Poupette Kenza, and her community of more than one million followers on Snapchat.
A disagreement between the managers of Dar Yemma and Kenza Benchrif, known online as Poupette, is believed to be behind the harassment campaign. The restaurant refused to pay the French influencer 2,500 euros in compensation in exchange for temporary Snapchat stories about the establishment during her visit to New York in December, reports The New York Times.
