Egyptian actress Shimaa Seif recently spoke out about her past feud with actress Ayten Amer, providing insight into the controversy that led to a public exchange between the two. According to Seif, the issue began when Amer made comments about her weight, which Seif felt were misinterpreted and unfair. Seif took to the media to set the record straight and address her fans directly.
Seif explained that her decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery was not taken lightly and was not related to her weight, but rather a health issue that arose after a problem with her foot. She revealed that she made the decision within a week, following a conversation with actress May Kasab. Seif emphasized that she had never considered the procedure before, and it was not a topic of discussion for her six years ago.
The actress expressed her frustration with Amer's comments, stating that she felt Amer implied that her delayed childbearing was due to her weight. Seif clarified that the issue was not with her, but rather with her husband, and that they had chosen to keep it private. She also mentioned that the conversation took place in front of her husband, adding to her discomfort.
Seif denied having a close friendship with Amer over the past six years, stating that they had only met a handful of times. She recalled a specific incident where they traveled to Saudi Arabia together, but sat separately on the plane despite available seats next to each other. Seif also mentioned a past disagreement between them, referencing a time when Amer had allegedly made negative comments about her.
The actress emphasized that she values honesty in her relationships and doesn't engage in superficial connections. She stated that she prefers to be direct and clear in her interactions, rather than following the principle that "interests heal all wounds." Seif also addressed the backlash she received after responding to Amer's apology, citing comments from fans that seemed to suggest Amer was only apologizing for her own sake.
Seif maintained that she doesn't wish to escalate the situation further, choosing instead to focus on moving forward. She expressed her willingness to accept Amer's apology and move on, stating that "at God, enemies gather." Seif concluded by affirming that she hopes the truth will be revealed in the end, and that she is not concerned about the current situation.
The public feud between Seif and Amer has sparked a wider conversation about the pressures faced by celebrities, particularly women, in the Egyptian entertainment industry. As both actresses continue to navigate their careers, their fans will likely be watching closely to see how the situation unfolds.
