Rawan bin Hussain is a known face on social media; she has over 7.5 million Instagram followers and is serving her sentence in Dubai jail.
Rawan bin Hussain was detained in March last year and sentenced to six months of imprisonment with a fine of 20,000 dirhams and was handed over deportation orders to leave Dubai once released.
Now surprisingly, new snaps of Rawan bin Hussain emerge from inside the Dubai jail that are generating buzz online.
The images show her looking pale and exhausted, sparking concerns about her health among netizens.
Some media reports claim that she went on hunger strike for an indefinite period in protest after her sentence was extended following the fresh incidents behind bars.
According to the Dubai authorities, the Kuwaiti influencer was arrested in March 2024 for multiple offenses, including public drunkenness, assaulting a cop, and creating a disturbance.
Further investigations have revealed that she lashed out and used abusive language at multiple officers during the incident.
The court had initially sentenced her to six months of imprisonment along with deportation orders.
However, Kuwaiti influencer’s legal woes didn’t end there. While she was serving her sentence, she attacked a female prison guard; that incident led to an extension of her jail term for another year.
Rawan bin Hussain’s troubles didn’t just begin in Dubai. The Kuwait influencer has been the center of controversies for years.
After Rawan bin Hussain got divorced from her husband, Youssef Migariaf, in 2020, she was accused of stalking, harassing, and even physical assault.
She later didn’t appear in a UK court; that led to a conviction in her absence.
The British court had fined her £6,500 and issued a restraining order that prevents her from contacting her ex-husband or his family.
Rawan bin Hussain is an educated Kuwaiti influencer, with a law degree from King's College in London. She became a social media sensation and lifestyle blogger, admired for her beauty and fashion sense.
She has acted in Netflix’s She’s Gone With Water and also released a song, Kan Ya Ma Kan.
Back in 2016, Vogue magazine even dubbed her the “Brooke Shields of Kuwait.”
But over three years, her fame has been tarnished by controversies, scandals, public altercations, and legal woes.
Today, instead of being celebrated as a glamorous Kuwaiti influencer, Rawan finds herself surrounded by Dubai’s prison system. And the recent hunger strike has added yet another chapter to her troubled public life.
