The one who evolves behind the pseudonym of Lena Situations since 2012 on a blog and since 2015 on YouTube, regularly suffers waves of cyberbullying.

This, for increasingly absurd reasons, whether to reproach him for not coming out of poverty, for having refused an invitation to the football award ceremony that is the Golden Ball, or even for cutting his hair …

In addition to the extremely violent comments against her on social networks, Lena Mahfouf is also the victim of verbal attacks on the street.
