Huda Beauty boycott linked to Iran: Mona Kattan publicly distances herself from sister and supports Iranians

No legal proceedings

In late January 2026, as a boycott campaign targeted Huda Beauty following a post by Huda Kattan about Iran, Mona Kattan published a message of solidarity with the Iranian people and unfollowed her sister on Instagram. Several media outlets interpreted this gesture as public distancing within the family and brand ecosystem.
