Some users also expressed concern about Scott’s past performances, which have been criticized for promoting violence and dangerous behavior.
In a statement, the syndicate said that it “rejects any tampering with the societal values, customs, and traditions of Egypt and the Arab world.” The statement also said that the syndicate “works towards the stability and security of our beloved country” and that it “maintains a balance between artistic expression and societal values.”
