– Simen Velle is going to cry over the fact that he is receiving threats. “You got a taste of your own medicine,” says dancer and influencer Naomi Medina Scharling in a video on TikTok.
On Sunday came the news that Simen Velle and his family had received death threats. This came in connection with the reports surrounding the hidden recording involving Progress Party (FrP) adviser Hårek Hansen.
On Monday, PST stated that they had initiated an investigation pursuant to Section 263 of the Penal Code concerning threats.
Velle states on Facebook that the threats allegedly mentioned a Swedish criminal network.
On social media, Hansen’s statements have generated extensive debate. Several people of Pakistani origin have stated that they feel stigmatised.
On Tuesday, Naomi Medina Fadlabi Scharling, who is a dancer and influencer, appeared on TikTok with a video in which she launches a frontal attack on Simen Velle.
In the video she says:
– FrP, which started as a Nazi party, are racists. What. Water found in the sea, she says, followed by:
– And Simen Velle who is going to cry over getting threats. Do you understand how many threats you have opened the door to throughout your political career by talking about immigration and integration in the way you have done?
Threats are not okay, but you got a taste of your own medicine.”
Document contacted Scharling on Instagram and TikTok. She initially said that she did not wish to comment on the matter. She then added the following:
– Nowhere have I written that Simen Velle “deserves” death threats. I would like to emphasise that I do not support or encourage violence or threats against anyone, including Simen Velle, Naomi Medina Scharling writes in a message on Instagram.

Here is everything she says in the video:
“FrP, which started as a Nazi party, are racists. What. Water found in the sea.
Very nice that a great many people are reacting, but you do not react when they come with their little comments, their little jabs all the time that are racist.
When they talk about integration and describe it as a ‘hella curse’, nobody calls them out and therefore they continue to say ‘hella racist shit’.
What people need to understand is that everything they have been saying all along is racist.
It is not only racist because he called someone a minus variant. It is all the little jabs, all the conversations about stealth Islamisation. That is racism.
Call a spade a spade.
And if you had called a spade a spade from the beginning, you would not be so shocked now.
And Simen Velle who is going to cry over getting threats. Do you understand how many threats you have opened the door to throughout your political career by talking about immigration and integration in the way you have done?
Threats are not okay, but you got a taste of your own medicine.”
Scharling has also previously distinguished herself by participating in debates on NRK against TV 2 programme director Trygve Rønningen regarding how hip-hop and street dance are portrayed in the TV 2 programme Shall We Dance (Skal vi danse). According to an article from OsloWorld in September 2025, she worked for Agenda X, which is the youth division of the Anti-Racist Centre (Antirasistisk senter).

Simen Velle declines to comment on the statements.
– I have no comment on that, Velle tells Document.
The successor to Simen Velle in the Progress Party Youth (FpU), the newly elected youth party leader Lars Barstad Løvold, believes the statements are entirely unacceptable:
– This is a good example of why the debate has become so polarised. People throw around the term ‘Nazi party’ about the Progress Party and call everything they disagree with racism. It is entirely possible to be critical of immigration and integration without being racist. If you believe that it is not, then you are essentially saying that millions of people cannot hold legitimate political opinions without being labelled morally reprehensible. That is quite an arrogant position.

– Hansen’s statements are totally unacceptable. The Progress Party is clear about its policies; it is stated in the party programme that we strongly oppose discrimination against people based on ethnic origin. If one holds racist attitudes, one has no place in the Progress Party. At the same time, it must be possible to have a debate about integration policy without being labelled racists. That only creates an even more polarised climate of debate.
