A Kuwaiti court fined the media, Mai Al-Aidan, 500 dinars, and annulled the previous verdict of her innocence in the case of bullying, insulting and slandering the Egyptian comedian Ahmed Badir, following she described him on social media as “bald”, according to what was published by local media.
The details of the case date back to 2020, when the Kuwaiti media published a picture of the Egyptian artist with his family, describing him as “bald”, which caused anger on social media, and the artist’s family.
However, the media denied directing any insult to the Egyptian artist, citing a number of Badir comedic plays in which they deliberately ridiculed this issue as far as describing it. The case reached the corridors of the judiciary, following the Egyptian artist filed a case accusing the media of bullying him. And in July of 2021, the judiciary acquitted Al-Eidan of the charge of insulting and defaming the Egyptian artist. However, the Appeal Court of Misdemeanors in Kuwait decided to overturn the previous ruling acquitting Al-Aidan in the case.
And on his account on “Facebook”, the Egyptian artist expressed his thanks to the Kuwaiti judiciary, saying: “Thank you to the proud Kuwaiti judiciary.”

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that his team has good reasons for the “Remontada” work at the Santiago Bernabeu, following losing 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the 16th round of the Champions League, noting that his players will be “11 in addition to 50 thousand.” “Fans support them.
Regarding the confirmed absence in the return match due to the suspension of both Brazilian Casemiro and French Ferland Mendy, who received a yellow card in the first leg, he said: “We have more players in the team, and this is not the first time that these two players are not present. This is just a problem.”
Regarding the return leg, Ancelotti said: “We have to play a stronger match than we played,” stressing that they did not go to the Princes Park stadium to look for a draw.
In his opinion, Real defended well, but they did not know how to pose a threat to the opponent with the ball. In this regard, he said: “We suffered from all sides, on the wings and in the middle of the field, where our three players usually don’t miss a lot of passes.”
