Egyptian court drops jail case against Ahmed Ezz after settlement with Zeina
A family court in Egypt ends the jail case against actor Ahmed Ezz after he pays Zeina's maid's wages, marking the latest chapter in their legal dispute.
An Egyptian family court has dismissed the jail case against actor Ahmed Ezz after he settled with actress Zeina by paying her maid's wages, bringing an end to their ongoing legal dispute. On Sunday, the court ruled that Ezz had fulfilled his obligation by paying 570,000 Egyptian pounds (approximately $11,400) to cover the salary of Zeina's maid, ending years of legal battles.
The dispute between the two began in 2014, stemming from an unofficial marriage and the paternity of Zeina's twins, which led to a series of court cases. In 2017, Zeina was granted a divorce from Ezz, followed by further legal proceedings over alimony, school fees, and the wages of domestic staff. The family appeals court has since issued multiple rulings adjusting monthly support and children's expenses.
Ahmed Ezz had previously been ordered to pay $600 (30,000 Egyptian pounds) in maid's wages, but his appeal against this decision was rejected.
