Reham Saeed, a popular Egyptian television personality, was on the receiving end of heavy criticism after calling Syrian refugees "disrespectful" and "lost" on a video that went viral on social media. Saeed, who is the host of "Sabaya Al Kheir," was attempting to highlight her "charity" work by handing food and clothing to refugees in a Lebanese camp.
To add fuel to the fire after the distasteful comments, Saeed is heard on the video saying that ''this is what happens when they're [Syrians] lost" and "parents leave their children on the street." These comments enraged the Egyptian community and led prominent media figures, such as Yosri Fouda, to stand against these accusations and insensitive comments about Syrian refugees.
Yosri Fouda, took to Facebook to voice his dismay with a statement attacking Saeed saying that such journalism is "sewer of the media" and "since she decided to be the voice of Egyptians, then it's within the rights of every Egyptian to criticize her."
The incident in question, which can one can only assume was a PR stunt that went horribly wrong, received further criticism and perhaps, much needed ridicule pointed at Saeed when she took to her show to attack Fouda for his judgement.
Saeed decided to go on public television, during her show on Al Nahar channel, to say that unlike Fouda, she is at least attempting to help Syrians and the went on to call him a Muslim Brotherhood supporter. Umm, what?
You don't have to take our word for it. Watch the video and get ready for some "Class A" celebrity tantrum.
