ALBAWABA - Speaking out against what he called "rumors aimed at discrediting his brand," Lebanese food blogger George Deeb—also known as "Dr. Food"—reacted to reports that he had been accused by Turkish officials of trying to import a large amount of drugs into Turkey.
Rumors have circulated on social media regarding Dr. Food's company's products, attempting to misrepresent their reputation and link them to drug-related issues, according to a blog post by Dr. Food.
We feel it is critical to state unequivocally that this report is unrelated to reality, and we have consistently strived to provide our clients with the highest quality products and services, he continued.
The proprietors of these black pens and the opponents of success are well known to us, and we will evaluate the competent judiciary to impose suitable sanctions on them, he said, vowing to prosecute anyone responsible for spreading these rumors. We also hope that anyone spreading this story will check the facts before posting them.
In a brief video clip, Dr. Food expressed his determination to not let anyone attempt to use his large fan base through "lying, hypocrisy, and tasteless talk" to take the lead in a trend. He also highlighted his plans to launch new goods in the near future.
Local media accused Dr. Food of smuggling a significant quantity of drugs into Turkey in his brand of biscuits.
According to her account, the investigating judge has delegated to the Central Narcotics Control Office the task of examining the brand-name biscuits confiscated at the airport and the shipping company's center, as well as any others he thinks fit from the laboratories and the criminal evidence office. The preliminary investigation report's findings will guide this action.
Similarly, pick up biscuit brand samples from nearby supermarkets, as well as the company's and the airport's, compare them to the samples confiscated by the shipping company and airport, and note any discrepancies.
Most people's minds on social media have been on Dr. Food recently. His wife Shorouk, aka "Sunshine" and a "TikToker" who posts about style and cosmetics, accused him of infidelity and announced their divorce, which caused a rift in his family.
Speculation circulated that she had escaped to Canada with her child after being spotted at Beirut Airport with an unidentified individual; however, she swiftly dispelled this rumor with a photo she shared on the "Story" feature showing her presence in Jbeil, Lebanon.
