In a highly anticipated episode on Al-Shams TV, host Yasmine El-Khatib welcomed her guest Omnia Hegazy, the ex-wife of preacher Abdullah Rushdy, in a conversation that exposed personal struggles and psychological challenges she faced after the marriage 💔📺.

Yasmine El-Khatib appeared in a modest look with a hijab, as a pre-agreed condition for Rushdy’s participation in the program 🕌✨.

During the episode, Omnia Hegazy spoke openly about her experience with the preacher, stating she is going through a difficult period and needs psychological recovery before considering any new relationships, for the sake of herself and her daughter. She emphasized her goal to clarify the truth amidst circulating rumors, highlighting that silence was part of her pain 😢💬.

Omnia said, "The thing that hurt me the most was that he did nothing when my honor was attacked. His silence hurt me. I wanted the divorce to happen respectfully. I didn’t want his image or reputation to be damaged because he is my daughter’s father."

She revealed that her father initially trusted Rushdy as a religious figure, but felt betrayed when he refused reconciliation, which added to her psychological burden and prompted her to speak publicly and demand recognition of her daughter 💔👧.

Regarding the start of their relationship, Omnia clarified that wearing the hijab was her personal choice influenced by her study of religious content, not by Rushdy. She mentioned that the marriage took place officially after a brief engagement, but she later faced harassing messages and defamation campaigns online, increasing her emotional distress 😔📜.

She added, "The hardest part was his silence despite the attacks I faced. He should have been more protective, but he didn’t want people to know we were married, to maintain his public image."

Omnia also noted the 14-year age gap, trusting him initially as a religious guide, but she faced serious challenges and felt pressured to leave her faith, describing her experience as very difficult and painful 💔🌪️.
