  • Rahamim stated the dog belonged to its owner, who was preparing for a party.

Event producer Irit Rahamim, a well-known figure in Israel's entertainment industry, is facing backlash on social media after posting photos from Paris that showed her holding a small dog with fur dyed bright pink, yellow, orange, and purple. The images sparked outrage from followers who accused her of animal cruelty and inappropriate behavior.

In response to the criticism, Rahamim posted a video on Instagram explaining that the dog was not hers. She stated she encountered a woman in Paris with a colorful dog and asked to take a picture. According to Rahamim, the dog's owner explained that the dyes were veterinary-grade, intended for a party, and would wash off within hours, posing no harm.

Rahamim emphasized that she did not dye the dog's fur and would never do so herself. She urged critics to gain perspective, stating, "There are more important things in life." She concluded her video with a call to vote, saying, "We must have change."

This incident follows another recent event in Paris where Rahamim claimed she was physically assaulted on the street during protests. She alleged that a person hit her, and she retaliated, but her phone footage of the encounter was deleted before she could report it to the police. Rahamim's trip to Paris has generated continuous headlines, from alleged street violence to social media storms over fashion photos.
