Early Life and Education

Kenza Benchrif was born on June 29, 2000, in Mont-Saint-Aignan, France, to Moroccan parents who acquired French nationality on August 21, 2006, extending it to Kenza. Her parents’ divorce at age 15 was a traumatic period she described as the “worst time of [her] life.”

Raised in Rouen, she lived with her mother until 2019, when she began her social media career. Details about her siblings and education are scarce, though she completed high school before focusing on content creation. She is of Moroccan heritage and though her religion is unknown.

Career

Poupette Kenza debuted on social media in 2019, gaining widespread attention in 2021 after a viral Snapchat video of her crying over a stolen car. Posting up to 20–30 snaps hourly, she turned her daily life into a “reality show,” as noted by researcher Virginie Spies, sharing moments with her husband, Allan Liehrmann, and their children.

By February 2023, she became Snapchat’s most-followed French influencer, with 1.1 million Instagram and 1.3 million TikTok followers by 2024. Her content, centered on family life and personal struggles, resonated widely but also sparked criticism for overexposure, especially of her children.

Her career faced significant hurdles. In June 2023, she was fined €50,000 by France’s DGCCRF for promoting a banned teeth-whitening device without disclosing its commercial nature. That same year, she faced accusations of misappropriating €200,000 from a fundraiser for a Moroccan orphanage, though an agreement with Atlas Kinder resolved the dispute without court action.

In May 2024, her Instagram story declaring she would not work with “Zionist or Jewish” individuals led to accusations of antisemitism, prompting a complaint from the Union des étudiants juifs de France and a referral to the public prosecutor by DILCRAH. Her Instagram account was temporarily deactivated, and she later apologized, clarifying she meant “Zionists.”

As of now, Kenza plans a social media comeback in autumn, promising a more measured approach. The liquidation of her tanning salon in January 2025, due to €45,548 in unpaid social contributions, reflects ongoing financial challenges. Despite controversies, her loyal fanbase, dubbed “Poupettes,” continues to support her through pre-orders of her book and merchandise sales via Poupette Store.
