Jewish American Heritage Month

A Belgian model was spit at and chased for walking completely naked through the largely Hasidic Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg.

Marisa Papen and her crew undertook the photo shoot on March 21, at the end of the Purim holiday, butposted a videoof the chase on her website just last week.

She walked naked throughout the neighborhood, including posing in front of a yeshiva school bus and in front of a synagogue.

Papenwrote on her websitethat she walked naked on several streets in Williamsburg but didnt get the shots that they were looking for. She said that some of the men got aggressive and others looked at her as if she had risen from the dead, others - as seen in the photos posted on her website - just looked away.

Then it started raining and she danced naked in the rain. After, as she and her photographer and producer sat in an Uber, the car was surrounded by Hasidic men, one of whom spit into the window. One of the men had called the police.

The model jumped out of the car in a coat and made a run for it, followed by about ten of the men yelling Go and Get out. She eventually ran into the police. She convinced the police officer that she had not been naked and that the men had been aggressive to her and was let go.
