I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out that they have been through some sort of trauma. Their behaviour is telling of that. By the looks of things, they grew up hearing ‘Pakistanis are this, Pakistanis are that’ even though that’s what they are themselves. I’ve seen it so much in Pakistani and Indian households; the self loathing is real. They probably witnessed a lot of negativity and applied their perception to the entirety of Pakistanis, Muslims, etc. It’s clear they lacked the intelligence to understand that it isn’t an entire ethnicity or religion that should be blamed, rather just backward culture and mentality.
However, we all go through hardship. Remember that Allah swt says he will never burden us with more than we can handle. As a 30 year old you are 100% aware of what is right and what is wrong. They have made countless catastrophic decisions in their lives and that is what they have shared online. I can only imagine what they do behind closed doors. I don’t feel sorry for them, they chose the wrong path and decided to be rotten individuals given they’ve had several chances to reform. Whatever they get, is what they deserve. Allah knows best.
I don’t think it’s fair to assume abuse, especially when there are individuals going through it. Going through the older threads, even the GG ones will help you understand the bigger picture. Although Shahzad and Yasmin were not well off, it’s evident they did what they could to give their children comfortable lives. Now, as an outsider I don’t know the Pakistani community that well, so if I’m wrong please correct me. From what I’ve seen comparing their upbringing to some Pakistani girls I know. Their parents were both quite liberal, perhaps it was Yasmins influence being the one born here. But at no point, looking at images or reading accounts from past friends did I get the impression Islam was forced upon them and that their parents were cripplingly strict. They wore what they wanted to, went out with their friends, just overall seemed to have a good child/teenage years. If abuse was happening at home and this facade of being arab was a form of escapism, then that’s an entirely different discussion. However, I don’t for a second believe they were abused at home, and being born and raised in a largely Pakistani area of Birmingham, where would they experience daily racism? If not anything, that should have made them more comfortable with their identity
There is an origin to all of this, and I believe I may have found what it is. And it’s not behind doors abuse or societal racism. It’s Faeza working in Selfridges. Think about it, a girl from an area which isn’t known to have affluent inhabitants comes to the city centre to work, in a luxury department store. 100% she would have envied customers and colleagues, and may have seen the odd arab, which could have fuelled her sick obsession with our culture more. As we know at this point, she was already self hating. After Faeza stopped working there I think she realised a career as a Mua would help her get to where she wanted to be as a fake arab. So she trained with reputable artists and started to make a name for herself with thanks to photoshop, and got sonia a gig as a model for Mario (Kim K’s mua) She did workshops in London, and I believe this is where they started telling people they were Iraqi
it was probably around this time someone from Kuwait reached out to her to do a workshop there. Doing makeup classes in Kuwait is a hugely underrated turning point in all of this bullshit. Kuwaiti and arab women in general. Are very in touch with their femininity, and take pride in their appareace, almost treating themselves like a Barbie doll. Coming from Alum rock, she was probably not exposed to seeing this degree or self care, luxury and style. She clearly got a little too excited, and it probably sent her into overdrive. Coming back from Kuwait she knew she was clapped and there was something that needed to be done, so she went and got a nose job and facial fillers. Someone said she did her primary nose job in turkey which makes sense. If anyone remembers the now deleted pictures of the Turkey trip, it was just Sonias face
because Faeza was healing
Anyway, once the new face had been downloaded, they were staying in Kuwait for a while. This is why she likes to lie about being born and raised there
just because you spent half of the year there doesn’t mean you went to a “british school” and was born and raised, delusional af. I genuinely don’t think they were even renting in Kuwait, I feel like they were staying with with a friend. The cost of living in Kuwait as a expat is ridiculous and even back then it would have been sky high. I think they both knew their finances couldn’t support living there. So they moved to the next best place, Dubai. Their first apartment in Dubai was small cramped, I remember Rania Fawaz snapchatting herself in it and it looked so messy
This point was the highlight of their career, they were getting endorsement after endorsement, and getting flown out for brand trips to the Maldives, Milan etc. The success started declining when Faeza was unable to keep up with trends. Even till this day she does her makeup like it’s 2016
Theres so much to talk about, but I hope this gives anyone a better understanding. All actions don’t point to systemic/societal racism or abuse, it points out to two girls who have never been satisfied with anything in life, which at the start wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, it snowballed into all of this madness. The not being happy with the family you were born into, the self denial etc. Faeza and Sonia really thought they were better than their fellow Pakistanis and still to this day think they are. But what’s hilarious, ego got in the way of common sense and now they have lost everything they actually worked for
