Iranian authorities arrested on Monday one of the famous “Instagram” influencers Sahar Tabar, who is known globally as a Hollywood star, Angelina Jolie Look-Alike.
Tabar’s arrest came under the order of the prosecutor general office in Tehran, after members of the public made complaints about her, according to Fars News Agency.

“She faces charges including blasphemy, inciting violence, gaining income through inappropriate means and encouraging youths to corruption,” the news agency added.
The 22-year-old rose to viral fame in 2017 because of her selfies in which she looks like a zombified version of Jolie.

Despite the zombie Angelina comparisons, Tabar previously insisted that was not her goal, and that she did not want to look like anyone.
In an exclusive interview to Russian News Agency in 2017, she confirmed that while she had undergone few minor cosmetic procedures, her scary selfies were all physical and digital trickery.

"It is photoshop and makeup," she said. "Every time I publish a photo I make my face more fun. It is my way of self-expression, a kind of art. My followers know that this is not my real face."
Noteworthy, "Instagram" is the only major social network permitted in Iran, yet Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are all banned.
