Popular Egyptian tiktoker star Tala Safwan was detained by Saudi Arabia on suspicion of disseminating pornographic material on her networks.
After posting a live video chat with a buddy, Saudi police in Riyadh detained Egyptian resident Tala Safwan.
On Monday, the police announced that they had detained a resident of Egypt in Saudi Arabia who had “appeared in a broadcast on a social networking site talking to another lady with sexual content and suggestiveness that could have a detrimental effect on public morality.”
Safwan, who the police did not identify, has been forwarded to the public prosecutor.
In the video, Safwan is conversing with a female Saudi acquaintance and invites her over, claiming that Riyadh is making her lonely. It is 3:30 in the morning, so her companion declines.

“Even better, because everyone will be asleep and they won’t hear what I’ll do to you,” Safwan replies. “They won’t hear your screams … from how much fun we’ll be having.”
The snippet from the whole video, according to Safwan, who has five million TikTok followers and more than 800,000 YouTube subscribers, was pulled out of context in order to stir up controversy.
She insisted that there was no sexism intended in her remarks and claimed not to have meant to upset anyone. In Saudi Arabia, homosexuality is not tolerated.
Safwan’s material, where she performs practical jokes and challenges and chats about TV shows, is quite popular among Arab teenagers and young adults. Additionally, she talks about awkward social encounters and broaches the subject of relationships with provocative headlines.
