Zahia Dehar

About

Famous for her work as a fashion designer, this Algerian-French woman is known in a less positive light as the center of a prostitution scandal in which it was alleged that French soccer players Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery had paid her for her services when she was just seventeen years old.

Before Fame

During her teenage years, she was branded with the French media nickname of "la scandaleuse."

Trivia

Her lingerie collections include "Iced" ("Givre"), "Cake and Candy" ("Gateau et Bonbon") and "Love" ("Amour").

Family Life

She and her younger brother spent the first years of their lives in Ghriss, Algeria, and the remainder of their childhoods in Champigny-sur-Marne, France. Her father, Hacene Dehar, cut off all communication with her after her alleged acts of prostitution were brought to light.
