I want to ask you something here, I want to make use of this opportunity

because I just saw “Follow me with the journalist Ghadi Bou Moussa on Al Jadeed”

Right

and the very first comment that appeared caught my attention

Which is?

I talked about it several times

I said I would not talk about Nathalie

then you wrote your name with Ghadi Bou Moussa

It showed me the opposite of what you say, that he is precise in how he expresses himself and so on

It showed me

Today Ghadi Bou Moussa has to learn that it is his duty to maintain some objectivity

every time he covers something that is not in line with his political identity

Here you even allowed yourself to accept

to tell me, or rather to judge me

that I cover things according to my political identity

knowing that I have never started from a place of political identity

he starts adding poison

and when your criticism is…

Just let me follow through

he starts adding poison

Yes

Okay

and this is unprofessional

Ghadi Bou Moussa, it is a shame, he needs to be on nerve medication

He does not deserve to stay this shaken

There is a breathing technique that helps him too

three dots and a loose tongue

but nerve medication plowed you psychologically

When I wrote these things, I never followed them.

Three dots and “loose.”

What are “three dots”?

How did you understand “loose”?

I only read what is written.

Yes, but how did you understand it?

What did you understand?

I am the one who wants to understand something.

On the contrary.

On the contrary, I am saying in one sentence that “their marks are in their faces.”

You, sir, and your face are fine.

On the contrary, I am happy you are with me.

But the idea is that…

We used to say that criticism is a right.

Freedom of expression is a right.

So did my way of expressing affect you?

You have now come and welcomed me.

You are here in the studio.

To dig up the tweets that I wrote.

I am presenting them.

For a while I have been surprised that you…

You show me, show me their dates.

You show me their dates.

I am asking you to show me, show me their dates.

Fine, I will not screenshot them without dates.

But this is in the year 2025.

No, no, no.

Absolutely not in the year 2025.

No way, for sure.

That is for sure.

For sure.

It has been, I do not know how long for you.

You have not even put anything of yours.

For sure, in the year 2025.

I do not see anything from you.

You talk about me as if I am new.

And I, basically…

Anyway, the idea is, I…

I criticized you in a very proper way

In May 2025

I criticized you in a very proper way, Ghadi

If you came here to receive me

So that you would apologize because of

This is very wrong

I see the pattern

I am giving you a warning look

You tell me we must be precise in our words

And not make up a pretext

I only just found out

This is confirmation of unprofessionalism

I only just found out

This is confirmation of unprofessionalism

There is no problem

This is my own view

I asked you questions

You come, receive me, and introduce me as a psychologist

And now you come

When we talked about when you are famous

It is written this way

I was contacted

Other than the fact that I am an activist

On social media

I was contacted

On the basis that I am a psychologist

So why would you write it this way

Can a psychologist write in this way

If you, sir, came

Digging up those tweets for me

Where exactly did I go wrong in the tweets

Did I offend public decency

Why would I keep appearing with an unprofessional media host

With a media host who works according to political whims

And there has to be, and three dots, and chaos—why do you want to appear with a chaotic media host?

This is also the question.

I appear not only with you, I also appear on Al Jadeed, on Al Jadeed TV.

So, I respect any Lebanese TV channel and I go on it, and why not?

In this moment, on this show, I am the one hosting the show,

They told me my name, and you have no problem, I said, “with the journalist Ghadeeb and Moussa.”

So I have no problem, I am happy with you, I am just asking, I am talking about accuracy in the news.

Why do you want to be with someone who accuses me of everything?

Because this welcome, a guest in your studio, you receive him this way.

On the contrary, what is it, we talk about things in real life, better than talking on social media.

I am arguing with you, I am aware.

Honesty is frank talk, and honesty is nice, I told you those whose names are on their faces, your face is good,

On the contrary, I am happy with you, no, really, on the contrary.

On the contrary, you can see me that way, but I did not consider that you hit me from one side and fixed me from another.

I am speaking in this way that used to be enough for you.

Exactly, you were like that.

I have never been criticized in politics, you are talking about something I said on air

I was attacking you, I was attacking you, and I was right about you

That is my question, you say I am not professional and that I am out of control

Yes, but one point about the issue of objectivity

About this point I’m telling you, because you say we have to convey many of our words

Especially since you are a psychologist, we have to move a lot of our words when we talk about social media.

To give you an example, just so I understand your point of view, is this the most explicit thing that happens in your life?

Is this the thing that seems the most excessive to you?

Right now I do not know anything, believe me, if I had been annoyed I would have replied to you on social media.

Not at all.

Just on the subject of objectivity

You are a psychologist, and you know the thing that bothers a person the most is the thing they talk about the least

So I am simply being honest and speaking

On the contrary, I will even present it to you

About the subject of objectivity

Just on the subject of objectivity

Just on the subject of objectivity

One minute, something before we move on to

When we say “media professional”

A media professional is required to be professional

Professional means they present two points of view in a given place.

As for objectivity, honestly, no one is objective.

One hundred percent correct.

Even in science.

One hundred percent correct.

When we talk, when you choose a certain angle to address a topic or a certain hypothesis,

that is where objectivity falls.

So objectivity is something very big and very hard for anyone to reach.

But what is required of them is to be professional in a certain context.

Correct.

If someone is a journalist, that does not mean they strip themselves of their political opinion and their way and style of, you know, expressing themselves.

That is one thing, and what we are talking about, hate speech, is something else.

Thank you.

There is responsibility here

Thank you

What is required of us is to be

But someone else decided to settle scores now with words

And by my coming up here

I am not settling scores, all I am saying is

This here is known, stay in your place, do not come near me, this is known here

Move closer to me

Please stay professional, stay that way

I walk wherever I want and I stop wherever I want

You are crossing the line, I am talking to you in a very direct way

I want to apologize to you, I want to leave

I am speaking to you with complete honesty

Because respecting the guest in the studio is the most important point

So if you do not want to respect the guest, then I have to apologize

As long as I respected you by standing up

Anyone who has freedom can stand in the studio where I am hosting the episode today

I came closer and told you, stay in one place

I am in the middle

Now I am being disrespected

Stay where you are, I do not want you to come closer

I decide what I want to do

I also know the boundaries, stability

I set the boundaries, stability

I am asking you not to come closer

Where did I come closer? What am I doing to you?

I am telling you not to come closer

Are you really a psychologist?

You invited me as a psychologist, and whether you like it or not, I am a psychologist

On the contrary, I am making sure

But I am making sure about your psychology

On the contrary

If you want to settle scores, you settle them in another way

This is… shame on you

It does not get more unprofessional than this

If you considered it settling scores

Consider it face to face, this is courage, not hiding behind

Thank you very much

A phone, if you considered this issue

Thank you very much for the interview

It does not get more unprofessional than this

Instead of considering it

One moment

So that you can speak honestly and truthfully

because I am one of the people who dares to say things

straight to a person’s face

not from behind a phone.

If you considered that crossing the line,

then that is up to you. As for me, on the contrary,

I took it as something you were saying with precision,

and that one must be precise in

the way they speak on social media.

I found that in these tweets,

tweets that could be contradictory,

so I asked you about them. Consider it boldness,

do not consider it crossing the line.
