Abir Al-Abed exposes the ugly reality of the Moroccan entertainment industry

Moroccan Artist Abir Al Abed

Abir El Abed controversially posted a photo of herself on her Instagram account with a shaved head. Her fans and followers were surprised by it and wondered if she got cancer as many who get it lose their hair due to chemotherapy sessions. Some women appear with a shaved head following the treatment, while others prefer to wear a head covering or scarf. But this wasn't the case of Abir El Abed, who posted the picture as an act of feminism. "There is a predominantly male mentality that defends the fact that femininity is linked to long hair. A woman with short hair is not a woman. We must stop propagating this way of thinking. To women not to let themselves be parasitized by these misconceptions," she wrote on her official Instagram account.

Now she is back with another controversy about the dirty entertainment world in Morocco. Full of back-stabbing, black magic, and Moroccan witchcraft and spells that everybody throws on their rivals, many live with major schizophrenia and are torn between modernity and religion since the religious law considers singing and dancing and entertainment in general as haram (prohibited by Islam).

 Abir Al-Abed, known for her strong personality and her boldness in expressing her opinions on several topics through Instagram, posted this message translated from Darija (Moroccan dialect) into English:

 "The entertainment industry in Morocco is hopeless, untrustworthy, and dishonest. It's supposed to be about 'entertainment' while, in fact, we got nothing from it but depression and all kinds of illnesses from the moment we set foot in it.  My answer to those who claim that the entertainment industry in Morocco requires diligence and hard work is: you do not know anything about this field.

 Thank you for smashing talents and distributing opportunities based on your own personal interests. We always tell the truth no matter how harsh it is, and that is the reason why we are always excluded."

 For once, someone other than me is taking the heat and getting called all of the names for spilling the tea, and just when you think the tea is cooling down, the Moroccan Drama continues…
