Accordingly, many Saudis reacted to the video with outrage. In social networks, they demanded to arrest Hulud. Soon spread Arabic hashtag: “We demand the initiation of proceedings against model Hulud”.
About a young woman, almost nothing is known. Some users claim that it is not Saudi Arab, and a resident of Yemen.

On Twitter many comments refer to the Saudi article 41, which States that you should take into account the values of Saudi society and respect its traditions and feelings. One lady writes about this: “In the West we say the same thing, we should respect the laws. These Nude shots undermined the reputation of our country and insulted 30 million Muslims. We need to know who is behind this”.
But there is an opposing point of view, some accuse critics of double standards. The degree of condemnation depends on the nationality of women. “If the woman was a foreigner, we’d be praising her beauty, but because she is a resident of Saudi Arabia you require to arrest her,” wrote one lady on Twitter. The body Hulud mounted the grinning image of Ivanka trump, bottom signed: “all right, guys, problem solved”.
