M'sian Actress Criticised For Her Controversial Black Widow Costume

Rebecca Nur Al Islam sparked controversy this week, after her posts on Instagram triggered many online.

The local actress uploaded several photos of herself dressing up as the character Black Widow, complete with a red-coloured wig. Known for her modest hijab look, Rebecca’s appearance came as a big shock to netizens.

In addition, the 34-year-old celeb also uploaded a few videos of herself participating in a game during an event. In the post, Rebecca is seen trying to identify her husband by touching several men who took part in the game, while being blindfolded.

Rebecca’s Black Widow costume was met with backlash, particularly on Facebook. A few commentators pointed out that despite covering her hair with a black inner hijab, it’s considered “haram” (forbidden) for the hot mummy to don a wig, as it might spread slanderous information. A few others also questioned the lack of social distancing during the game session.

One Facebook user named Nor Muhammad Roslam Harun also left a savage remark, asking Rebecca to change her name to “Rebecca Al-Jahil (Arabic word for ignorant)” instead. Take a look at some of the reactions we got here:
