PS: It seems Miss Israel photobombed Sally’s selfie by taking her own selfie. This calls for a new hashtag #Incelfie 😛
I just noticed people have been tweeting all day at Miss Lebanon Sally Jreij because of a selfie that included her and Miss Israel. I looked a bit and found that Miss Lebanon’s manager issued a statement where she says that she was being harassed by Miss Israel and that Miss Israel photo bombed her picture. If this is really the case, then the organizers should have taken action and avoided this whole mess.
In all cases, I think the statement Sally is pretty clear and she should report the picture and have it removed if it’s going to cause her trouble. Until then, let’s focus on more serious issues we have in Lebanon, like the two Lebanese army soldiers that were injured after Israeli troops tossed smoke grenades in Aita el Shaab today.
Update: Here’s what Sally told her fans apparently:
“To all my supporters and Lebanese citizens, I would like to thank you indeed for your continuous support of Miss Lebanon at the Miss Universe contest …The truth behind the photo: Since the first day of my arrival to participate to Miss Universe, I was very cautious to avoid being in any photo or communication with Miss Israel (that tried several times to have a photo with me).
I was having a photo with Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia and myself; suddenly Miss Israel jumped in, took a selfie, and put it on her social media. This is what happened and I hope to have your full support in the Miss Universe contest”
She bombed the selfie?? Take a closet look on who is actually taking the selfie
Lebanese need to accept the fact that Lebanese abroad will inevitably meet and interact with Israelis. Miss Lebanon is stuck in a situation where she needs to appear professional in this pageant AND appease the hot heads at home. Why don’t all the people who are upset buy this use up their energy to Tweet at the Lebanese government to elect a president, instead of Tweeting at a girl representing Lebanon in a goddamn beauty pageant.
so what? most probably miss Lebanon and miss Israel don’t give a damn about the never ending conflict between our countries
these are teenagers girl who are looking for fun
let them enjoy!
This whole thing is embarrassing. If people cannot get on at a beauty pageant on the other side of the world, then what chance it there for anyones children?
Miss Lebanon & Miss Israel need to kiss and make up – ideally on camera.
Miss Lebanon 2014 is one of the most beautiful title holders for years .I hope this doesn’t remove her title because she got into the same picture as Miss Israel .As for Israelis ,they are known to create such scenarios out of jealousy

I don’t believe miss Israel is doing that on purpose. The whole situation is dumb. People shouldn’t bring war to peagents…
