Most Egyptian artists and singers use the “Body Guards” to protect them from some audiences and harassers, and to prevent journalists from persecuting them, and the special screening of Egyptian cinematic films is not devoid of the presence of Body Guards surrounding the artists participating in the film, who often attend this show and their presence causes many problems. Like what happened in the special screening of the movie “Kalemni Shukran” by Khaled Youssef and the artist Ghada Abdel Razek, where the “Body Guards” resorted to using electric shocks to disperse those who wanted to watch the movie without invitations.
And last April, the bodyguard of the artist, Mohamed Hamaki, attacked a police officer present at one of his concerts, which led to the police arresting him, and the bodyguard of the artist, Houria Farghali, almost killed a fan, who asked her for a picture, during the screening of the movie “Decor”, except She blocked them.
In the special screening of the movie “The Guard”, actress Ghada Abdel Razek used six bodyguards, who prevented journalists from approaching her to conduct any press interviews with her, and at one of Tamer Hosni’s concerts, “bodyguards” assaulted some audiences.
Artists and businessmen in Egypt resort to private security companies in order to seek the help of Body Guards to protect them, according to what Ahmed Ezz, the owner and director of one of those companies, says, after the revolution of January 25, 2011, and as a result of the security chaos that occurred and the Brotherhood taking over the rule of Egypt and the spread of their militias in an unprecedented way, the demand increased Some politicians and those affiliated with previous regimes and some media professionals, businessmen and artists have sought refuge in Baddi Qard, adding that companies rely on the use of private guards from former champions in boxing, bodybuilding, kung fu and taekwondo, especially since they give their heroes combat skills and high physical strength.
He added that the artist or artist requires a great effort to protect him, and he may need about 3 or 4 bodyguards to prevent contact with him from his fans, or exposure to harassment, or the artist being subjected to harassment.
