The Egyptian artist Ahmed El Awady has stirred significant debate on social media following his candid remarks about his plans to marry again. His comments, perceived by some as provocative, have drawn both support and criticism.
Direct and Unapologetic
In an interview with the program ET بالعربي, El Awady expressed his indifference to the backlash, stating: "Is marriage forbidden? Those who are bothered can be bothered... When will I get married? Soon, God willing."
He further questioned, "Should I be intimidated because someone is upset? Shouldn't we all get married then?"
Social Media Reaction
His statements triggered a flurry of activity online, with a video clip amassing over 30,000 comments in a short period. Reactions were mixed, with some supporters advocating for his personal freedom, while critics labeled his tone as "agitated" and "inappropriate." One user remarked, "There is a calmer way to say this," while another described his demeanor as "strange and unjustified agitation."
The Ex-Wife's Name Resurfaces
Comments also referenced El Awady's ex-wife, actress Yasmine Abdel Aziz, with some users questioning their past relationship. One follower noted, "I don't know how Yasmine Abdel Aziz was married to him."
Controversial Announcements
El Awady further fueled the conversation during a recent Facebook live broadcast, where he mentioned plans to appear with his wife next year, stating, "Next year, me and the missus, and the year after, me, the missus, and our son." His claims of being "the highest paid and most viewed in Egypt" also attracted criticism, with some interpreting it as arrogance.
Media Personalities Weigh In
Several media figures, including Riham Said, have publicly criticized El Awady, accusing him of "denying the good" and suggesting that his success is not solely due to his efforts. Radwa El Sherbiny also commented indirectly, stating that those who discuss pay and fame should acknowledge those who contributed to their success.
