The Supreme Media Council has suspended controversial TV presenter Reham Said for the nth time over her description of overweight people as “a burden” and “an eyesore” during a discussion about weight loss surgery on her talk show, Sabaya, last week. She was called in for questioning on Friday, following a series of complaints on social media in Egypt and beyond, Ahram Online reported. Egypt’s National Council for Women said in a statement that it had submitted an official complaint about Said’s remarks. Said subsequently announced on social media that she is quitting the small screen. Let’s all hope to god she’s serious.
