Maha Al Sagheer faces new accusations from a French artist

In a new escalation of the crisis facing Egyptian media personality Maha El-Sagheer , renowned French artist Siti accused El-Sagheer of stealing his paintings and passing them off as her own during her recent appearance on Mona El-Shazly's "With You" program.

French artist Siti Ho also posted an angry post on his official Instagram account, attaching images of the paintings featured in the program, confirming that they were his original works, completed in 2017, and clearly bearing his signature.

The French artist wrote: "I was shocked this morning by your messages informing me that a public figure, appearing on a famous Egyptian TV show, claimed to be the owner of my paintings: Dwarka, Kigali, and Bushido, works I completed in 2017."

He added, "The biggest shock was that the program clearly displayed my previous studio, the paintings were signed by me, and even the original photos are on my Instagram account. Despite this, Maha Al Sagheer claimed these works were hers, without any reference to me or respect for my efforts and those of my other colleagues."

The French artist continued: "Displaying these works to millions of viewers in such a brazen manner, without any sense of remorse, and in broad daylight is unacceptable. In 2025, any work of art can be easily verified online in seconds. What an absurd idea!"

She added that she used art as a means of dealing with her personal crises.

However, shortly after, Danish artist Lisa Nielsen, who had exhibited these paintings in international exhibitions, came out and accused Maha Al-Sagheer of stealing her artwork without permission or even citing the source. Lisa considered this action a blatant violation of intellectual property rights, which prompted strong public criticism.

Wide public reaction to the Maha Al Sagheer incident The paintings Maha Al Sagheer displayed were by Lisa Nelson, a renowned artist known for her unique style of expressing women in her art. These paintings had previously been exhibited in well-known international galleries, making the incident even more controversial.

As a result of this scandal, the "With Mona El Shazly" team issued a public apology to Lisa, emphasizing their respect for intellectual property rights and the importance of acknowledging the rights of artists.

The news quickly spread on social media, sparking widespread public outrage. Many followers believed Maha Al Sagheer had insulted actress Lisa Nelson and demanded that she be held accountable for this act.

Reactions emphasized that what happened constituted an insult to creative rights and the rights of artists in general, and called for legal action to ensure respect for intellectual property.

Did personal pressures contribute to the crisis? It's worth noting that Maha El Sagheer has been going through a difficult period in her personal life since announcing her divorce from actor Ahmed El Sakka. Rumors have ranged from her relationship with another actor to her son's illness, to allegations of violence by El Sakka.

All these personal pressures contributed to the escalation of anxiety about her actions, and some considered that the health and psychological crisis she had been going through may have been one of the factors influencing her falling into this professional error.
