Firas Ibrahim: The fabricated dispute post was ready for publication without my approval Firas Ibrahim calls for verifying information and not being drawn into fake news

Syrian actor Firas Ibrahim has warned about the growing phenomenon of pages that fabricate disputes between artists in order to generate engagement and profits, revealing that he was subjected to what he described as a “provocative” attempt to fabricate a fake crisis between him and Syrian actor Ayman Zidan in exchange for money.

Ibrahim explained that one of the page administrators contacted him directly, telling him that he runs platforms based on spreading rumors and fabricated disputes between actors to increase views and engagement. He noted that the fake dispute post was already prepared for publication even without his approval, which led him to express strong anger and threaten legal action against anyone involved in spreading such claims.

The Syrian actor stressed his absolute rejection of such practices, considering them a reflection of chaos dominating some entertainment pages, which rely on inventing stories and crises to damage relationships between artists and distort their public image.

Firas Ibrahim emphasized that the danger of such rumors is not limited to harming artists, but also extends to misleading audiences and spreading false information that later becomes widely circulated content. He urged colleagues and the public to verify information and not be drawn into unreliable news.

He concluded his post with a clear call to confront pages that promote fabricated news, stressing the importance of addressing them through legal and professional means and not giving them greater space to spread or influence.

His statements sparked wide interaction on social media, with many considering that what he revealed highlights a dangerous aspect of content creation based on sensationalism and “trends,” while others noted that this phenomenon is increasingly recurring in the Arab entertainment industry, amid calls to verify news before sharing or republishing it.
