She flaunted her hand, a regular fixture at her concerts, in what some interpreted as an implicit message confirming her confidence. </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:407/510;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/4a9befd9-007a-4e1d-b7f7-f49fe5252dfa.jpg" ></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:407/510;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/55915696-0b20-42bf-b82a-3f2da5cd59c8.jpg" ></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:407/510;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/93e8a1ab-dee3-4136-bcf3-557ce117a524.jpg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);"><strong>Controversial appearance in a theatrical performance</strong></span></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The controversy began when <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbisiali.com/ar/news/article/alysa-thyy-hfl-aaayad-byrot-fy-htha-almoaad">Elissa</a> appeared in a performance of the play “Everything is Allowed” <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbisiali.com/ar/news/article/my-husbands-will-carole-samaha-announces-her-return-in-klo-masmoh">by Carole Samaha,</a> which sparked widespread interaction on social media, especially after she appeared in a number of photos and videos taken of her during press interviews.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <span style="background-color:unset;color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);font-family:inherit;"><span lang="ar">Comments on Elissa's latest appearance</span></span> <span style="color:hsl(187, 48%, 51%);"> </span></h2><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:280/460;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/fb59f1e9-fc95-45c7-9bd0-4a83037c1885.jpg" alt="Solidarity and support for Elissa after her latest appearance in Carole Samaha's play" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Some commented on her different features, her weight gain, and her appearance of being older, while others had a different opinion and decided to stand by her and defend her, stressing that Elissa remains a symbol of beauty and strength, no matter how her features change or the camera angles change. </p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:280/280;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/6fd2137b-054a-4df8-a6bb-cd9bf3191b0c.jpg" alt="Solidarity and support for Elissa after her latest appearance in Carole Samaha's play" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Many of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://sbisiali.com/ar/news/article/alysa-thyy-hfl-aaayad-byrot-fy-htha-almoaad">Elissa's</a> fans expressed their support for her through touching tweets and posts that highlighted her special place in their hearts.
