👍🏻👎🏻 “You’re Egyptian… You Must Be Invited” Ahmed Helmy Is Under Fire After His Joke In Riyadh

• A clip featuring Ahmed Helmy and Mustafa Gad, Carmen Suleiman’s husband, has been widely shared on social media, stirring controversy.

• The clip, recorded during Helmy’s play Bani Adam at Riyadh Season, has sparked mixed reactions.

• During the performance, Ahmed Helmy had a brief exchange with Mustafa Gad, who was in the audience.

• Ahmed Helmy asked Mustafa Gad, “Where are you from?” When he responded with Egyptian Helmy replied saying Egyptian and sitting in the first row?? You must be invited!

• Some interpreted the remark as a slight against Egyptians, taking offense at what they saw as an unnecessary distinction between Helmy and Gad.

• Others dismissed it as a lighthearted comment with no ill intent.

• The phrase “You’re definitely invited” led some to believe that Helmy was implying that Egyptians were not usually in the front row, which they saw as disrespectful.

• Critics argued that even if it was meant as a joke, the wording gave the wrong impression. Especially in an international event like Riyadh Season.

• On the other hand, Ahmed Helmy’s supporters pointed out that he is known for his sarcastic humor and quick wit.

• They believe the remark was an attempt at dark comedy rather than a genuine insult.
