Lawyer Abdel Hamid Younis, representing Mr. Rami Zyan, filed an official complaint with the Public Prosecutor against his ex-wife, actress Jory Baker, accusing her of spreading falsehoods on social media platforms with the intent to defame him and his family. This complaint followed controversial statements made by the actress through her personal accounts on social media, where she accused her ex-husband of assaulting her at her home after their separation on August 14, 2024.
According to the complaint filed by the lawyer, Jory Baker claimed in these statements that she had been assaulted by her ex-husband, allegations which his family completely denied. These statements were widely spread on online news outlets and social media platforms, significantly affecting Rami Zyan's reputation and leading to the deterioration of his social and professional standing. The impact of these statements was highly detrimental to his personal and professional life.
The lawyer clarified in the complaint that Jory Baker continued to publish false statements on social media in an attempt to create media controversy surrounding her personal life. Sources indicated that the actress did not only post inaccurate statements but also shared videos and voice messages containing defamation and slander against Rami Zyan and his family. The lawyer emphasized that such actions go beyond the private life and harm social integrity. Regarding the defamation, the complaint noted that these statements also included words showing contempt for religion, reflecting a serious legal development in the case.
The complaint also mentioned that among the claims Jory Baker made on her Instagram account were statements about her sole custody of the child, claiming to be the only one entitled to custody. However, the lawyer explained that the actress's actions and behavior could negatively affect her custody rights, as such behavior may have legal consequences on the ongoing custody proceedings.
The lawyer’s complaint is based on numerous pieces of evidence and documents supporting his claims, such as official records and a flash memory containing videos and voice messages posted by Jory Baker on her social media accounts. In conclusion, the lawyer requested an urgent investigation into the reported incidents, emphasizing the need to present supporting evidence for investigations to substantiate the accusations.
This complaint filed by lawyer Abdel Hamid Younis is an important legal step taken by Rami Zyan, aimed at protecting his reputation and legal rights from the defamation he has faced through social media. These false statements could have significant consequences on his future, particularly concerning his legal rights related to child custody, as well as his professional and personal reputation.
It is noteworthy that the issue of defamation and slander through social media platforms has recently garnered considerable attention, especially as these platforms can be powerful tools in affecting individuals' reputations but also in destroying social and legal relationships. This makes it crucial to pursue such cases to ensure justice and protect individuals from the misuse of these platforms.
As for Jory Baker, she is expected to respond to these accusations in the near future, potentially revealing new details about the case and defending her legal and personal positions. In any case, this case serves as a real test for the legal system in handling defamation cases over the internet in Egypt, particularly when it involves sensitive personal issues such as child custody and defamation.
In the end, this case will lead to a legal ruling clarifying the responsibilities of each party in this crisis. The outcome is expected to affect both actress Jory Baker's image and her ex-husband Rami Zyan's position. The public will continue to await developments in the case until the investigations reach final conclusions.
