Why has an Egyptian actress become accused of organ trafficking?
A viral video showed a woman accusing Amer of being involved in the death of Zamalek football player Ibrahim Shika and in organ trafficking.
What is the truth behind this outlandish story?
Amer denounces the accusations
Amer slammed the allegations as false and said that she will take all legal action against those spreading them.
In a phone interview with the al-Shams TV channel, the actress stated that she had officially filed a complaint with the relevant authorities to prosecute all those behind these accusations, stressing, 'I will hold legally accountable anyone who has offended me.'
She said that social media has now become a curse that can be to spread lies and insult others without evidence or accountability.
In another phone-in with Al-Hadath Al-Youm TV channel, Amer expressed her shock after a woman claiming to be the daughter of former President Hosni Mubarak accused her of organ trafficking.
She added that she could only respond to the claims sarcastically, noting that the woman had made false allegations about family matters.
In a statement posted on her official Facebook account, Amer said she would not remain silent in the face of these serious allegations.
Syndicate of Artists intervenes
The Egyptian Syndicate of Artists announced its solidarity with Amer against the slander campaign targeting her.
A legal committee of senior lawyers has been formed to follow up on the matter and take the necessary measures, it explained, based on the syndicate's role in protecting and defending its members.
The Syndicate affirmed that Amer is a great artist 'of whom we are proud,' and that she has an honorable artistic career and has demonstrated remarkable patriotic and humanitarian views.
It emphasized its full support for her in the face of any abuse or transgression.
In response, Amer wrote on Facebook: 'I am proud of my Syndicate, its members, and my respected Syndicate President. I have chosen to remain silent. Thank you to the great Syndicate to which I belong. Thank you to all my colleagues and beloved fans.'

Oualid & Fares Sokkar Join Forces on Summer Pop-Shaabi 'Bosso Alih'
Produced by YAM and Janno, the track is a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Jul 29, 2025 Moroccan-Egyptian rapper and singer Oualid has teamed up with mahraganat prodigy Fares Sokkar on a 'Bosso Alih', a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Produced by YAM and Janno, the track touches on themes of desire, longing and infatuation in a way that feels as sincere as playful. Oualid opens the song with a smooth delivery and poetic lyricism, painting his muse like a vision out of a daydream. Then Fares storms in with full-blown shaabi attitude, sharp, cheeky and completely lovestruck, flipping between cocky one-liners and raw romantic meltdowns - a counterpoint to Oualid's lowkey romanticism. At the centre of it all, the refrain 'Bosso Alih' serves as somewhat of a public service announcement, repeated with the urgency of someone spellbound. The music video for 'Bosso Alih' mirrors the track's playful nature and the artists' chemistry.
