Ali El Haggar’s ex-wife: It was filmed via a private account and not meant for publication Ali El Haggar’s ex-wife warns those exploiting the “incident” to stir controversy

The ex-wife of Egyptian artist Ali El Haggar, actress Sahar Hassan, broke her silence to defend her daughter “Buthaina” after a private video circulated widely, sparking a wave of criticism across social media platforms. She accused some platforms of violating privacy and exploiting the crisis.

In a lengthy statement posted on her personal Facebook account, Sahar Hassan أكد that the circulated video of her daughter should not be shared or published, explaining that it was filmed through a private account and was never intended for public release. She stressed that what happened constitutes a clear violation of personal privacy, stating: “This video is private—just a young woman venting with her friends on a private account, not for theft or publication.”

A clear warning Sahar Hassan did not stop at defending her daughter, but issued a direct warning to anyone attempting to exploit the incident for views or to fuel controversy. She confirmed that any attempt to defame her daughter or take advantage of the situation would expose those responsible to legal accountability. She added in a sharp tone: “Anyone who trades on this or boosts the trend will face legal consequences… fear God, you who claim morality and integrity.”

Social media platforms had witnessed the spread of a private video of Buthaina Ali El Haggar, in which she appeared expressing intense غضب and calling on her followers to direct insults at her father, the artist Ali El Haggar. She also spoke about her suffering, which sparked both controversy and sympathy at the same time.

Over the past hours, the issue has topped the attention of social media users after videos of Buthaina El Haggar, the daughter of Ali El Haggar, circulated widely, raising questions about the nature of the relationship between the artist and his children, and reopening discussions about privacy and personal life surrounding one of Egypt’s most prominent singing figures.

The crisis began when Buthaina appeared in a live broadcast, speaking in a sharp and sarcastic tone, revealing that she had been suffering from difficult living conditions, reaching the point where she had nothing to eat but “biscotti” for several days. The matter did not stop there, as she openly called on her followers to attack her father’s personal accounts, describing it as a “test” of his support for her—something many considered a major تجاوز against an artist of Ali El Haggar’s stature and history.
