She further asked, “Are we not allowed to be Palestinian on Instagram? This, to me, is bullying. Do you want me to change his birthplace for you?”
Bella then prompted her followers to share their place of origin on Instagram. She wrote, “I am proud to be Palestinian. Everyone should post where their mother and fathers were born today! Remind them of how proud you are of where you come from !!!”
A spokesperson for Facebook, Instagram’s parent company, told Page Six in response, “To protect the privacy of our community, we don’t allow people to post personal information, such as passport numbers, on Instagram. In this case the passport number was blurred out, so this content shouldn’t have been removed. We’ve restored the content and apologized to Bella for the mistake.”
