Omar Borkan Al Gala became notorious in 2013. The incident occurred during the Jandriyah Cultural Festival in Riyadh, in which he, plus two other male models, worked on a promotion stand. [2] [3] In a January 2015 interview, Al Gala said that at the festival, some girls recognized him from some modelling he had done, and they gathered for autographs and photos, after which the crowd around them grew. Al Gala said that "the religion police didn't like it," and "they came and they asked me politely to leave the festival." [4] According to a police officer, "the members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices feared that female visitors would fall in love with them." [3] Later, the delegation of Saudi Arabia issued a statement clarifying that Borkan and the other two models were never asked to leave the country, only the festival, and that had nothing to do with being "too handsome," but was related to the unexpected presence on the stand of men, something that challenged the country's custom regarding having women not to interact with men who are not of their family. [3] [4] They also stated that Al Gala had performed "indecent" dances at the event. [5] [6]
