The female OFW, alyas JM, who is now facing a possible deportation for allegedly failing to show respect inside the Muslim prayer house in Al-Khobar. JM's defense is that her dancing moves inside the Mosque is not indecent.
“Monday po mga before 10:00 or 9:00 am ay nakaabot po agad sa office ang Tiktok video. Tinawagan po yung manager ko na burahin ko yung Tiktok ko na sayaw pagkatapos po pumunta po yung investigator sa store tapos hindi na ako nakapasok. Itong Thursday ay nalaman ko na terminated na ako,”
JM got a lot of negative comments because Saudi Arabia is known to be strict in enforcing their religion. It is possible that the said OFW will not be able to return to Saudi and other gulf states due to her actions.

In another video, a woman is crying and apologizing to the public for her dancing. It is not known if this woman is JM or just one of the companions of the said OFW inside the Mosque while dancing.
According to her, she was not the woman dancing in the video, but she was the one who was taking the video. She asked for forgiveness and another chance because she is the breadwinner of the family.
“Humihingi po ako ng tawad sa inyo, hindi ko naman intensyon na mangyari po ‘yon. Sa lahat po ng Muslim patawarin niyo po ako, hindi ko po sinasadya, bigyan niyo po ako ng pagkakataon, ako nalang po inaasahan ng pamilya ko,” said the OFW. She said that her only mistake was that she posted the video on Tiktok.

According to some news, the Saudi Arabian government is open to forgive the said OFWs.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) warns that OFWs in Saudi should be doubly careful in what they are posting on social media.
“We would like to remind our OFWs in Saudi Arabia that although we work only during working hours we are part of their company 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said an OWWA official. “And most of our employers if not all are very sensitive to impression or public images and that includes us. So our social media post and upload must agree or- be in line with the norms of the kingdom,” he added.
