A Surprising Encounter

While attending the Arab Media Forum, Sarhan found herself in an uncomfortable moment when the Lebanese reporter, seemingly unfamiliar with her, asked, “Where are you from?” even going as far as not knowing Sarhan’s name.

Sarhan, known for her bold and charismatic presence in the media, responded cheekily to the reporter’s surprise, throwing a playful jab, “You don’t know who I am?” This lighthearted but pointed remark quickly became a viral moment, with many online users discussing the incident in the following hours.

Admitting the Mistake

Following the viral exchange, Cairo 24 reached out to the young Lebanese reporter for her side of the story.

She openly admitted her mistake, confessing that she hadn’t done her research beforehand and was unfamiliar with the well-known Egyptian media figure.

She acknowledged that her lack of preparation was to blame for the awkward situation, providing a transparent explanation that many netizens appreciated.

“We As Egyptians, Joke All The Time”

Meanwhile, Hala Sarhan herself was approached by a Lebanese TV channel to share her perspective on the incident.

In her response, Sarhan took the high road, defending the reporter and brushing off the awkward moment with a sense of humor.

Rather than criticizing the young reporter, Sarhan acknowledged that mistakes happen and opted for a lighthearted approach, showing that she wasn’t overly bothered by the situation.

The Debate

While many defended the Lebanese reporter, citing the generational gap as the reason for the mishap, others questioned the professionalism of a reporter who doesn’t recognize fellow media figures.
