Luisa Zissman recently posted a meme poking fun at individuals who have left Dubai in the wake of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The UAE has experienced a series of missile attacks and drone strikes following military actions between the US, Israel, and Iran.
The former Apprentice star, aged 38, who moved to Dubai in December with her wealthy spouse and two of her children, returned to the UK this week amidst the escalating turmoil. Despite the escalating situation, Luisa seemed to mock those fleeing Dubai by referring to the city as the ‘safest country in the world’ for influencers.
Upon her return to the UK on Monday, Luisa shared a viral meme featuring actor Cillian Murphy looking uninterested while being interviewed. The meme humorously reflected the reactions of tourists in Dubai amid the chaos. Luisa, who has a substantial Instagram following, expressed her concerns about being stuck in Dubai and revealed her decision to bring her daughters back to the UK due to uncertainties about returning.
In a video clip walking through Chinatown, Luisa admitted feeling anxious about being back in London, describing her current situation as a “refugee era.” She praised the UAE for facilitating her safe return and recounted her smooth journey through Oman to reach London.
Luisa is among many celebrities who have chosen the UAE for its luxurious lifestyle and tax benefits. While some influencers and reality stars feel secure in Dubai, others have expressed fear and anxiety during the recent attacks.
