The Crisis of 'Fakhr Al-Delta' Escalates: Accusations Against the Series Writer for Harassment and Urgent Decision from the Company
The artistic community in Egypt witnessed a significant development after lawyer Nesma El-Khateeb filed official complaints with the public prosecutor against the writer of the series "Fakhr Al-Delta", accusing him of harassing two girls, confirming that she represents them legally and submitted the complaints with their direct authorization.
* The Beginning of the Story .. A Post Ignites Controversy
The crisis erupted through a post published by one of the girls on her personal Facebook account, where she recounted details of an incident she claimed occurred while working at a company in the Garden City area of downtown Cairo, where the writer works. She mentioned that the latter attempted to kiss her without her consent, prompting her to break her silence and recount what happened.
The post quickly became the center of widespread interaction, with comments and testimonies flowing in from other girls who spoke about similar experiences, some of whom indicated that the incidents occurred at different times, while a hashtag bearing the name of the accused writer spread, escalating the controversy on social media.
* Official Legal Action
For her part, lawyer Nesma El-Khateeb clarified that her action was not based on a single account, but rather relied on multiple testimonies from girls who said they had been harassed by the same person, indicating that the complaints were officially submitted to the relevant authorities, which have begun investigations.
* The Production Company Intervenes
Following the airing of the third episode of the series, the production company issued a statement announcing the temporary removal of the writer's name from the credits until the ongoing investigations are completed, a step that observers considered an attempt to contain the crisis and maintain stability during the Ramadan season.
* A Series in the Eye of the Storm
It is worth noting that the series "Fakhr Al-Delta" consists of 30 episodes and is being aired during the current Ramadan season across several satellite channels and digital platforms.
It stars actor Ahmed Ramzy in his first leading role, alongside a selection of stars including Kamal Abu Riya, Ahmed Siyam, Intisar, Khaled Zaki, and others, and is directed by Hadi Basyouni.
As investigations continue, all eyes remain on the outcomes, in a case that has once again brought to the forefront discussions about how to handle harassment accusations within the artistic community, and the boundaries of professional and ethical responsibility in such incidents.
