In his first official response to quell the digital uproar on social media, Egyptian star Ahmed El-Awady broke his silence to address the controversial video clip known in media as 'El-Awady's Crazy Woman,' which over the past few days had become a hot topic for trending and online mockery.

The incident took place at the public screening of his new film 'Samson and Delilah' amid the crowds. El-Awady lifted the veil on its dark backstage in the 'Al-Mohtawa' podcast, revealing details that phone cameras missed!

What happened behind the cameras?

El-Awady refuted the rumors that targeted him, emphatically denying any prior acquaintance with the girl, explaining that his famous puzzled remark, 'Do I know you?' was an automatic reaction due to shock and surprise amid the crowd.

As for the secret of his return to her after he had continued on his way, El-Awady dropped a bombshell, confirming that the girl, in a 'low' voice, surprised him with a strange question: 'Are you going to leave me to walk alone?' This question sparked his concern and set off alarm bells, prompting him to go back to her and interrogate her publicly in front of the audience, to prevent any interpretations or false claims that could harm his reputation or suggest a prior relationship.

The Egyptian artist affirmed that he handled the crisis calmly and diplomatically, aware that any hasty or impulsive action amid the rapid spread of social media would be misinterpreted and lead to fictional narratives far from reality.

However, the story's developments did not stop at El-Awady's confessions or the girl's later appearance in a video defending herself; they extended to the corridors of regulatory authorities, as the Supreme Council for Media issued a decisive decision against a satellite channel due to violations accompanying its coverage of the incident, with El-Awady's latest statements putting an end to a story that preoccupied Egyptian public opinion.
