The Egyptian artist Aida Riad revealed, for the first time, the scenes of her accusation of prostitution in the eighties of the last century, after her refusal to talk about that crisis throughout the past years.
Aida said in television statements reported by the Iram agency: “The crisis dates back more than 30 years, and caused great harm to me and all members of my family, so that my brothers were affected by their jobs in this incident.”
She added: “At that time, I was married to the late artist Muharram Fouad, and he was very surprised by this accusation, because they took me from the house to fire as they say.”
And she added, hinting that the case was fabricated by her, by saying: “(Medicine, let her stay tuned, I mean!), If I had been seized somewhere then they would be entitled to accuse me and try me legally, but all this commotion was on an empty basis and without real support.”
She added: “Is it possible that I practice immoral work while my husband is with me! (I did not work before the passport and I am not married !!?)”
And she continued: “This incident happened two years after my marriage, and Muharram Fouad stood beside me in this ordeal, and that incident was not a reason for our separation or even the reason for his extreme jealousy of me.”
She pointed out that this issue benefited her in her artistic career, because the directors wanted to take advantage of the fame and uproar caused by it to attract the audience.
And she added, “I was offered a lot of work, and I agreed to a lot of it already. I told myself that I should take advantage of them and achieve fame behind them, just as they want to use me.”
The actress Aida Riad was charged in a case of etiquette called “The Compars” in 1982, where she was arrested along with 6 “Compars” artists.
The court sentenced Aida Riyad to one year in prison on charges of practicing vice in one of the dens in Heliopolis district, and it was deposited in Al-Qanater prison for a period of 3 months, before being granted a patent from the Court of Appeal Arts on February 24, 1983.
