TikToker arrest: NJ woman tore Greek flags confusing them with Israeli ones

An anti-Israel TikToker who amassed millions of views for wrecking a decorative string of Greek flags that she confused for Israeli outside a New Jersey eatery was busted for the ludicrous blunder, the New York Post reported on Friday.

Amber Matthews, 23, was charged with bias and intimidation on Tuesday for ripping down the Greek flags attached to the awning of Efi’s Gyro in Montclair on March 11, according to the Montclair Police Department.

Matthews, who goes by “Ambamelia” on social media, posted the video of her hateful rage to TikTok on Oct. 15 – more than seven months after the incident – which has since generated nearly 4.5 million views and millions more on X.

Police launched an investigation in March after owner Efi Mihalis reported that an unknown woman approached the business and tore down their string of flags and decorative lights while repeatedly screaming there’s a “genocide going on,” police said, according to local outlets.

  1. I saw the video. At one moment, upon realizing that she mistook the flags, she said “wannit back?”.

    I don’t know what is stupider, confusing the flags or publishing the video showing how stupid you are, and which exposes your identify so you subsequently get arrested.
