A satirical program broadcast on the Saudi MBC channel sparked a lot of controversy on social media platforms after imitating the well-known Egyptian singer, Sherine Abdel Wahab, in a comic scene, which talked about her drug addiction and exposure to violence and beatings.
And the Saudi artist, Reem Abdullah, appeared in the satirical program with the same hairdo as Sherine and used sarcastic words in a distortion of one of the songs of the Egyptian singer, referring to the crisis that the singer was recently exposed to, according to the site “.Cairo 24“.
Reem Abdullah said in the song’s lyrics with the same music and melodies of Sherine’s song “Jarh Tani”: “From today there is no addiction,” meaning that she stopped using drugs.
The Egyptian artist’s family had revealed that she had been admitted to an addiction treatment clinic last October.
And the director of the Egyptian actress, Ihab Saleh, decided to take the necessary legal measures against those in charge of the satirical program.
And Saleh wrote in a tweet on Twitter: “Those who will say this is a personal opinion: a very shameful thing from a respectable channel .. Something like this appears on a great and great artist like Sherine, and this is bullying and lack of manners .. As for her business manager, we will definitely take the necessary action along !”.
For his part, the official spokesman for the Syndicate of Musical Professions, Mohamed Abdullah, said in a press statement: “We know very well that the artist belongs to his audience, and we appreciate the audience’s shock when he hears any negative news about an artist he loves and appreciates, but on the other hand, people’s lives are full of successes and failures.”
And he added: “It is not permissible for us to face any failure of any person by bullying and ridicule, especially since failure negatively affects the life of its owner. any disturbances in his personal life.”
And he added: “My message to the bullies and those with arrows directed at the artist Sherine is to learn support and stand by the person in any ordeal he goes through, so what about the artist who needs psychological and moral support so that he can confront his audience later, and stay away from gloating, bullying and ridicule.”
