Director Amr Salama published an official apology after the crisis of his statement about Ismail Yassin on the Lake Locke program with Amr Mostafa.
In his apology, which he posted on his personal account on Facebook, Amr Salama wrote: An official apology .. I extend my sincere apologies to the audience and fans of all the artists who mentioned in the episode of (Lake Locke), and everyone who felt offended because of the expression of my opinion in an exaggerated and inappropriate manner, which may have touched their great and important artistic history.
Amr Salama added: I fully realize that the position of these artists and their influence on popular culture cannot be prejudiced, and I am surprised by some who decided to compare them with them, as this is a comparison in a completely undesirable place. They are the owners of a great artistic history that affected millions of people for decades, and my comparison with them is meaningless, as if an ant is compared to a lion.
Amr Salama continued: I also acknowledged that I made a big mistake, which is a real defect in my personality, as my spontaneity sometimes reaches the level of recklessness. I did not realize that what is said on a public platform must be accurately calculated, and it cannot be dealt with as a transient hadith in a special session for the purpose of entertainment and comic exaggeration. What we say in public remains and affects, and therefore I must be more aware and responsible for what I declare in the future.
He concluded by saying: I repeat my apologies, and I pledge to be more keen in the future.
