Event producer and social media influencer Irit Rahamim has responded to a public outcry over photos of her vacationing in Paris, where she was seen holding a poodle whose fur was dyed in vibrant colors. The images, shared on Rahamim's Instagram, sparked accusations of animal cruelty and insensitivity from online followers, with comments calling the act "horrific" and stating that "money doesn't buy class."
Rahamim, known for her high-profile events, business acumen, and resilience in the face of media scandals, initially attempted to quell the controversy in a video.

Rahamim stated she was told the dyes were non-toxic and veterinary-approved, emphasizing she would "never do such a thing to any animal" and urged followers to be more proportionate in their reactions.

She expressed her belief in integrity, good intentions, giving, and faith, adding that a person is measured by how they handle challenges.
Concluding her statement, Rahamim reflected on her strength, saying, "I didn't become a strong woman because life was easy on me. I became a strong woman because I chose not to let hardship change who I am." She wished her followers a Shabbat of peace, light, truth, and inner quiet.
