"Moroccan restaurant Dar Yemma in Astoria has experienced a significant drop in its Google ratings due to a harassment campaign initiated by French influencer Kenza Benchrif, also known as Poupette. The negative reviews, written in French, have been accompanied by hate messages and calls from French phone numbers. The conflict began after the restaurant declined to pay the influencer for Snapchat stories promoting the venue. The situation escalated when Benchrif released a series of Snapchat videos implying that the wife of a manager at Dar Yemma attempted to kidnap her, an accusation denied by the restaurant's co-owner, Saber Bouteraa." - Caroline Shin
