The Meridian Hotel in Cairo has filed a suit over renowned actor Farouq al Fishawi, after cursing the hotel's employees with lots of dirty words following an issue with his Iraqi girlfriend.
The daily Bayan newspaper reported yesterday that al Fishawi has come to the hotel to pay his Iraqi friend's two days rent, following a fight between his friend and the employees of the hotel over not paying the rent due on her.
Al Fishawai has thrown the money in one of the employee's face with lots of cursing and anger, forcing the hotel to file a suit of cursing and defamation over the actor.
In another similar incident, al Fishawi has recently filed a suit over a weekly magazine for claiming his marriage to young actress Dunia. Totally surprised by the magazine's report, al Fishawi denied all the rumors earlier this month, saying that what was written in the magazine is not true and it's only intended to defame his and his colleague's reputation, confirming that he only carries "respect and honor for her and her family."
On her part, actress Dunia, well known for her role in "Banat Afkari" (My Thoughts), commented on the rumor saying that, "what was reported in the magazine is intended to defame my reputation in an indirect way". Adding that marriage is not a crime, and if what was reported is true then they would not hide it. Dunia has lately got her divorce from producer Mohammed Hussein.
Last year, al Fishwai, who has become a juicy item for the media, has faced a complaint filed by a Palestinian businessman over an advance payment in a real estate deal. - Albawaba.com
