Photo of Zeinab Harake with Her Dad and Boyfriend Elicits Mixed Reactions
ZEINAB HARAKE – A photo of the famous social media influencer with her father and fiancé, Bobby Ray Parks Jr., has elicited mixed reactions from netizens.
On February 14, Valentine’s Day, the vlogger took to social media to share snapshots with her father and fiancé. Her post was accompanied by the caption: “My Valentines so far.”
Apparently, some netizens misinterpreted the image, with comments implying deception or an inappropriate relationship. A user named Boss Marky sarcastically suggested that Zeinab was being “harap harapan kanang niloloko,” which led to backlash from others who clarified that the man in the photo was her father.
Many defended Zeinab, calling out those with “dirty minds” and emphasizing that close relationships between fathers and daughters should not be misjudged. Some users pointed out that in certain families, affectionate gestures like kissing on the lips are normal. Others expressed admiration for Zeinab’s father, saying she was lucky to have a parent who openly shows love and support.
Some commenters also noted that a father’s approval of his daughter’s partner signifies trust and respect. Others criticized those making inappropriate assumptions, labeling them as judgmental and ignorant. One user highlighted that only those with a malicious mindset would misinterpret the photo.
As of press time, Zeinab Harake has yet to respond to the comments on her photos.
