The circulating footage appears to show Dr. Food slapping Shorouq before grabbing her, causing her to fall to the ground, while her pregnancy was clearly visible. The video quickly sparked widespread anger online, with many users calling for him to be held accountable.
Dr. Food later responded through his social media account, saying the video does not show the full story. He said, "Everything you are watching now has something before it and something after it," adding that the clips were released as negotiations between him and Shorouq were reportedly falling apart.
He also claimed that the incident happened while they were in Turkey and said there are many details he has not revealed yet. According to him, the video represents only a small part of problems that continued for several years.
The video comes amid a new escalation between the former couple, after Shorouq announced that she will hold a divorce party on August 22. Dr. Food had previously criticized the event and said he would reveal more details about their dispute.
In a later statement, Dr. Food said that his children are now his main priority and that any information or evidence he has will be presented to the proper judicial authorities instead of being shared through social media disputes.
