The controversy around the upcoming “Safah El Tagamoa” film just took a deeply personal turn. We’ve previously talked about why this film’s production should not be taking place, and all the problematic issues that went ahead with it.
Now, Lobna Yakout, the ex-wife of the convicted killer known as “Safah El Tagamoa,” has broken her silence on TikTok with a series of emotional videos that are impossible to ignore.
“No One Asked for My Consent”
In a series of videos posted through her TikTok account, Lobna Yakout confirmed that not a single person from the film’s production team reached out to her.

Not for consent, not for input, not even a courtesy call to let her know her life story was being turned into entertainment.
“No one asked for my consent, yet my life and my child’s life are now being dragged into entertainment.”
A Mother’s Worst Fear
What’s breaking hearts across social media isn’t just Lobna’s pain; it’s her fear for her son.
@whenboredomstruck IMAGINE!

She’s terrified that this film will turn her child into a social outcast, forever marked by crimes he had nothing to do with.
“This will affect my child’s psyche, leave him without friends, and ruin his life.”
If you know anything about how society treats the families of criminals, you know her fears aren’t unfounded.
Kids can be cruel, and adults can be even worse.
“He Doesn’t Deserve to Be Made Into a Hero”
Lobna’s frustration goes beyond personal pain. She’s watching filmmakers potentially turn her ex-husband, a convicted murderer, into some fascinating anti-hero for entertainment purposes.

“He doesn’t deserve to be made into a hero. He got his punishment. Why does he now get a film that could ruin my son’s life forever?”
She’s questioning why Egypt’s entertainment industry keeps sensationalizing killers while the real victims and their families are left to deal with the aftermath. And honestly? It’s a fair question.
The Power Imbalance is Real
Lobna has publicly asked lawyers for advice on how to legally stop the production.
But here’s the harsh reality: legal processes in Egypt can take a year or longer, meaning the film starring Ahmed El Fishawy and directed by Mohamed Salah El Azab could be released before any court decision is made.
So you have a grieving family with legitimate concerns on one side, and a high-profile film production with industry connections and deep pockets on the other. The imbalance is pretty obvious.
More Than Just One Family’s Pain
What makes Lobna’s outcry even more powerful is that she’s not just fighting for herself. She’s calling for respect and dignity for all families affected by the case, families who are still traumatized and trying to heal.
She’s asking filmmakers to consider the real-world consequences of turning tragedy into spectacle. She’s asking for basic human decency in an industry that sometimes forgets there are real people behind the stories they’re telling.
A Plea That Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Lobna’s message to the filmmakers and the industry is simple but powerful:
“Stop the film before it harms more lives.”
She’s not asking for much, just for her child’s future not to be sacrificed for entertainment value. She’s asking for dignity.
She’s asking for the industry to remember that behind every “true crime” story are real victims, real families, and real consequences that last long after the credits roll.
It’s Time to Raise Our Voices
This isn’t just about one film or one family anymore. It’s about all of us standing up and saying enough is enough.
We need to push for this production to be cancelled.
We need to respect the people who can no longer ask for their dignity—the victims who lost their lives. And we need to protect those who are still alive and will face even more harm if this film goes ahead.
Some stories shouldn’t be told for entertainment. Some wounds need time to heal. Some families deserve the space to grieve without having their trauma turned into someone else’s profit.
Lobna Yakout shouldn’t have to fight this battle alone. Her voice is powerful, but imagine how much stronger it would be with all of ours behind it.
Let people heal. Let them grieve. Let them rebuild their lives without having their worst moments replayed on the big screen for everyone’s entertainment.
