Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, removed an old X account after a wave of previously posted content resurfaced showing praise for Palestinian terrorists, harsh criticism of Israel, and attacks on the U.S. military.

The 28-year-old, who serves as New York’s first lady, shut down the account shortly after reports brought renewed attention to posts she had written years earlier on X and Tumblr, dating back to her teenage years and early adulthood.

Although her X profile — which operated under the handle @_RamaDee — is no longer accessible, her Instagram account, which has amassed roughly 2 million followers, remains active.

Scrutiny over her online activity has intensified in recent weeks, particularly after it emerged that she had interacted with Instagram content praising Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Among the material she reportedly engaged with was a post asserting that claims of rape carried out by the terrorist group were a “mass hoax.”

Further revelations connected to her past online presence — some identified through facial recognition — suggest that controversial content tied to her dates back to 2013, when she was said to be about 15 years old.

In one post from 2015, she wrote that Tel Aviv “shouldn’t exist in the first place,” referring to its residents as “occupiers,” and in a separate earlier post, she used a racial slur.

Her now-defunct Tumblr account included praise for Palestinian plane hijacker Leila Khaled and members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. It also featured a repost accusing American troops of “mercilessly slaughtering 3rd world civilians” in order to preserve “American hegemony.”

Another repost from December 2015 attributed responsibility for the creation of al Qaeda to white people.

Duwaji has not publicly addressed the controversy, and City Hall has not issued any response to inquiries seeking comment.

Mayor Mamdani, however, has spoken out in her defense, responding to the growing backlash surrounding her past online activity.

“My wife is the love of my life, and she’s also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall,” Mamdani, 34, told reporters last week.

“I, however, was elected to represent all 8.5 million people in the city. And I believe that it’s my responsibility because of that role to answer questions about my thoughts and my politics, and my stances.”
