Zari Hassan Shamed For Stealing

Soicialite Zari Hassan is facing harsh criticism on social media for apparently stealing and using a New York-based interior designer's photo while advertising for a local Tanzanian furniture shop.

The mother of five took to her Instagram account to make some extra cash but it didn't go quite as she had thought it would.

The stolen photo was recognized by the owner, Stephanie Cohen, a New York-based interior designer who routinely shares photos of her designs on Instagram.

False Advertising: Zari Hassan uses Stolen Image

Thank u so much for using my picture!!" -- Cohen commented on the photo

Muonekano wetu wa furaha hasa pale tunapotembelea maduka ya @gsmmall ni mara ngapi unafurahiya ukiwa nyumbani kwako? Bidhaa za @danubehometz ni furaha tosha nyumbani kwako! Kweli hii ni komesha...unangoja nini??? Wahi sasa hujachelewa

While some of Zari's followers -- notably, those with usernames with the word 'zari' -- were quick to defend the mother of 5, a large community of trolls gave her a taste of her own medicine.

Zari Hassan recently attacked Hamisa Mobeto for wearing pants that looked that Diamond's.

It should be noted that Zari had a few days ago attacked her fellow Tanzanian socialite, Hamisa Mobetto, in the same fashion. Only this time, it was about clothes.
