Lebanese actress Nadine Al Rassi opened up about a terrifying moment during a family getaway, revealing how she pulled out her personal firearm and placed it against the head of a stranger who forcibly entered her villa while she was with her child.

In an emotional Instagram video, she explained that the man entered unexpectedly and began staring at her in a manner she described as threatening. In that split second, she reacted decisively—“I didn’t have time to think. My children’s safety meant more than everything,” she said—then held the gun at his head and warned him never to return.

The incident left her shaken, and although neither of her young children fully grasped what happened, she said it motivated her to immediately upgrade the security around the villa to protect her family’s privacy and well-being.

Al Rassi clarified that her intention was not to seek attention by revealing such a shocking experience, but rather to raise awareness about the risks women can face—especially after divorce and without adequate legal protection. She urged viewers to remain vigilant and cautious.

Her story struck a chord with fans, who expressed admiration for her courage and protective instinct. The incident ignited broader discussions on personal safety, self-defense, and the importance of decisive action in critical moments.
