Amidst the current developments in the artistic scene and the widespread controversy surrounding provocative issues, Lebanese artist Myriam Fares has issued a stern and decisive official statement carrying an escalating tone to categorically respond to the rumors, talks, and completely fabricated statements recently spread and falsely attributed to her regarding the ongoing wars and political crises in the region, which caused resentment and shock among a segment of the audience because they were described as offensive. The artist stressed in her statement, documented via the stories feature on her official Instagram account and issued by her private company, her absolute and categorical denial of all fabricated statements that have no connection to her whatsoever, warning seriously at the same time that strict and deterrent legal actions will be taken against anyone who deliberately harms her reputation or promotes those lies. The statement explained that these disgraceful practices represent cheap attempts to exploit the prominent public name of the artist and drag her forcibly into complex political disputes and positions that she completely distances herself from. The statement also confirmed that Myriam Fares core message has always been a noble artistic and humanitarian mission aimed at bringing Arab peoples together and building bridges of communication, love, and peace among them through the language of art and music, fully believing that art is capable of achieving what politics fails to do in bringing points of view closer despite borders and differences. The statement concluded by calling for the necessity of exercising the utmost degrees of accuracy, investigation, and credibility before circulating or publishing any news concerning the artist, while relying exclusively on her official pages to verify information and not being dragged behind fake and malicious accounts seeking quick gain and fabricating news at the expense of celebrities.
