The runner-up of the Miss France 2021 competition has been subjected to a torrent of anti-Semitic abuse on social media, promoting outrage and a police investigation.
April Benayoum, 21, was awarded second place in the pageant during a televised ceremony on Saturday.
She revealed her Israeli origins in an interview at the event, leading to anti-Semitic attacks on Twitter.
The tweets were widely condemned by French politicians and Jewish groups. It is sad to witness such behaviour in 2020, said Ms Benayoum, who represented the south-eastern region of Provence in the contest. I obviously condemn these comments, but it does not affect me at all.
