A WOMAN was left “disfigured” after three men allegedly broke into her home in Marseille and savagely attacked her.

Three “armed” men allegedly “tied her up, beat her up and sprayed her with bleach” on Friday, according to Le Parisien.

According to a statement on Instagram from Soraya’s representative, she is suffering severe emotional trauma following the incident. The attack occurred after a man deceptively introduced himself as a “neighbor who had forgotten his keys” around 9:30 p.m.

The man then stormed into the flat, joined by other armed intruders, she added.

The perpetrators held her captive for more than 90 minutes. During this time, they bound her hands, assaulted her with firearms and box cutters, and threatened her life, demanding money, the representative shared.

When she tried to free herself, an attacker put a gun to her head, reports French newspaper Le Parisien.

As a result of tape being placed over her mouth, Soraya suffocated and convulsed, the newspaper adds.

Soraya was left with multiple facial fractures and “numerous cuts all over her body”, her lawyer Tom Michel said.

He said that Soraya lost consciousness during the attack, with the result that she does not know about her attack.

‘Because of the pain and marks on her body, we unfortunately suspect sexual assault, or even rape,” said Michel.

She woke up covered in bleach “no doubt to erase the DNA traces of her attackers”, Michel said.

The men fled the scene, taking with them “a Cartier bracelet, her house and car keys, two luxury bags and a Rolex watch”.

Michel said “they knew very well who she was”, adding that “like many female influencers, Soraya Riffy has a lifestyle on the internet that can appear quite luxurious”.

“She has been racketeered except that, unluckily for her attackers, she has no money,” added her spokesperson.

Soraya posted a video on social media showing her face battered and bruised from the brutal attack.

She said: “I’m so disgusted. What I’ve been through today is horrible.”

She has been interviewed by police officers at the hospital, report French outlets.

Cops have reportedly launched an investigation into armed robbery, kidnapping, death threats and gang violence.

She told Le Parisien: “I’m disfigured, disgusted and frightened. Too much media exposure leads to danger.

“I’m going to leave Marseille permanently, leave social media for the time being, I’m lost.”

One of the latest posts written by her spokesperson on Sunday mentions threatening emails sent to extort money from her.

“She had repeatedly alerted the authorities to the threats against her,” her lawyer said.

Soraya rose to fame in 2016 after appearing on the French TV talk show, Touche pas à mon poste (Don’t touch my TV set).

She’s known for sharing her views on fashion and fitness, as well as promoting body positivity and self-confidence to her one million Instagram followers.
