Wrath of Mrs Khan
Amir wife hits out in feud with nude pic of his brother
AMIR Khan’s wife admitted yesterday she was so angry over family criticism of her Western dress code that she posted a naked shot of the boxer’s brother online.
Feuding Faryal, 25, uploaded the shot of Haroon on Snapchat as it was revealed her father-in-law said her clothing was “not acceptable” in the Islamic faith and Amir’s mum advised her to wear a dupatta scarf for modesty.
Under the picture, Faryal wrote: “My dressing is an issue? Double standards? Like harry laying naked and drunk at a girls house, sisters wearing no “dupatta” I guess that’s ok bc that’s there blood & I’m just a daughter in law (sic).”
The American model, who married Khan in 2013, has accused his family of bullying and trying to destroy the marriage. She even claimed Amir’s sister hit her, which is denied. His parents insist they have treated her like their own daughter, but admit to rows over her clothes.
Yesterday Faryal took to social media again to apologise – to her Snapchat followers rather than her family. She said: “I wanted to apologise for the picture I put out earlier.
STRESSED
“I was a bit angry and felt like I needed to justify myself.” She added: “I was just getting so stressed out reading the comments of people talking about my dressing.
“Not realising anger took over and that it would hurt so many of my followers and the young girls that follow me. I really do apologise.”
The ex-WBA champ and his wife shared a house in Bolton with dad Shah, 54, mum Falak, brother Haroon, 25, and sister Mariyah, 19. But the couple are now in New York.
Faryal, who has a two-year-old daughter, Lamaisah, with Amir, 30, suggested the family rows broke out when she was heavily pregnant.
She said on Facebook: “There are many who suffer in silence due to ill treatment from the in laws. This dark side is usually kept hidden.”
In a statement on his Twitter account, Amir begged his family to end the feud and denied they were about to star in a reality show.
He wrote: “I apologise for the silly picture and message my wife Faryal put up... my family and wife are just destroying my good name.” Amir’s parents said in a statement: “Allegations of violence are untrue and completely unfounded.”
