During his stay as a guest on the “Secret Ink” program presented by the Egyptian media, Asma Ibrahim, George responded to the presenter’s question about the attack he was subjected to by Lebanese artists, such as Elissa, Ragheb Alama and Nawal Al Zoghbi.
George said, “They are known to have an interest. They spoke against their conscience and their dignity regarding my resignation,” continuing, “My dignity is not my personal dignity, but rather the dignity of my country, so they cannot defend their dignity by asking me to resign.”
Qirdahi indicated that in this way they are defending their interest, and he said, “They have an interest with the Entertainment Authority. We want concerts in Saudi Arabia and Riyadh festivals.”
The Lebanese journalist added, “When I resigned, I told them that my brothers in Saudi Arabia might be upset with me for a word I said, but believe me, they are upset with me, but they respect me, but you take money from them, but they don’t respect you.”
