Egyptian presenter Riham Saeed has been suspended from her position over comments insulting “fat” people.
The decision to suspend Saeed came after she was interrogated by the Supreme Council for Media Regulation because the National Council for Women (NCW) brought her comments to light.
She made the comments whilst on air for the hit show, Sabaya.” During filming she said, “You lose part of your femininity if you are fat,” Saeed said, “they are burdens on their families and on the state, and are an eyesore.”
Taking to her Instagram account, Saeed has defended herself saying she has been discussing the topic of obesity on her show for years and asking why people were only responding negatively now.
Social media users were outraged by Saeed’s comments and called upon the TV channel, Al-Hayah, to have her fired from the show.
Saeed’s name began trending on twitter
I wish #alhayat_tv makes a rational decision and suspend or fire this woman. Being part of an obesity educational campaign has nothing to do with how she talked and the words she used #ريهام_سعيد

I never use twitter because I didn’t see a valid reason, but for this immature, uneducated women i will make an exception. Do you know that many people have weight problems due to underactive thyroid, diabetes treatment, ageing, steroid treatment, cushing’s syndrome #ريهام_سعيد
