A BRIT has been branded a gold-digger after she married a Dubai millionaire – but she says she shops at Dior to make her feel better.
Soudi Al Nadak, 26, from Sussex, met her businessman husband Jamal Al Nadak, 32, while they were both studying at university in Dubai.

The pair had mutual friends and often would bump into each other at parties.
Jamal had to ask her out three times before she gave him a chance.
They have now been together for seven years and married for the last three.
She was often asked about being in a relationship with someone of a different culture and religion so she decided to make a TikTok video to show off their unique marriage.
Interest in the video quickly took off and Soudi now has 1.1million followers.
While a lot of people love her content, some have accused Soudi of being a gold-digger and leave abusive comments.
She has joked the best way to deal with the hate is to shop at Dior to feel better.
The couple’s marriage includes rules like having no friends of the opposite sex, knowing each other’s passwords, and always having their location available to each other.
People may not understand their relationship but Soudi said it works for them and they are deeply in love.
Soudi said: “On our first date he spoiled me completely, took me to the best restaurant in Dubai, picked me up in his luxury car and even after the date he would call me all the time and we couldn’t stop talking.
“A few months later we planned different trips together and flew around the world. Then we decided to get married.”
Their wedding was a suitably lavish affair over three separate nights with the main night at the Versace hotel in Dubai.
She said: “All the stage designs were designed by me. Even though it was during Covid we still had 1,000 people come every night.
“All of the events are ladies-only which is traditional in Jamal’s culture.
“Then we had another wedding in a country manor home in the UK for my family.”
After getting loads of questions about her marriage Soudi decided it was best to take to social media to explain things.
She added: “People always make a lot of assumptions so I like to set the story straight.
“I always enjoy taking my followers along on shopping trips or food reviews and holidays.
“It makes me feel so connected with the world.
“Jamal and I don’t keep things from each other, we have open communication, we have each other’s passwords.
“We always keep our locations on whenever we are apart so we know where we are.
“We don’t have friends from the opposite sex.
“I always dress modestly and I always make sure everything is perfect like my hair, nails and makeup.
“I am always careful of what I share on social media to respect Jamal and his family as they have a closed community.”
Speaking about the nasty trolls that appear online from time to time, she said: “I think I receive a lot of hate from people just because they are jealous or they don’t understand my relationship and the content I make.
“I guess by putting your life on social media people will always comment.
“I would be lying if I said it was easy every day as I get a lot of horrible comments on a daily basis so I just take myself to Dior to feel better.
Soudi said that her husband advised her not to read the hate and just be true to herself.
She added: “People always assume I am the gold-digger and Jamal is using me for my body.
“But that’s not the case, we truly love each other but he can’t help that he’s a millionaire and I love to shop.
“We are just out here living our best lives.”
