Cairo Court Sets April 6 for Hearing in Haifa Wehbe's Case Against Famous Doctor

The Egyptian judiciary has referred a prominent doctor to trial after he was accused of exploiting advertising videos of Lebanese artist Haifa Wehbe without her permission. The Cairo Economic Court has set April 6 as the date for the first session of the case.

Details of the Lawsuit

Lawyer Sherif Hafez filed the lawsuit demanding a civil compensation of 5 million pounds due to the doctor's use of Haifa's image and performance for commercial purposes without official approval, despite the clips being filmed in April 2023 for internal use only once.

Haifa's Legal Steps

The defense confirmed that the doctor reposted the videos on social media platforms, which harmed the artist's reputation and moral rights, prompting Haifa to resort to the judiciary to protect her rights.
