“First of all, I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart and to say that I did not really mean to insult or mock or hurt anyone. I did not mean to cause or to be the reason for negativity. I’m an actress and a comedian, and you know, my job is to sometimes impersonate and imitate languages, different and various dialects.” Mais Hamdan said.



“I do actors, anchors, celebrities, and you know, I do it with a little bit exaggeration to just to add a comic factor. I’ve never meant to insult anyone. It was never meant to be serious. You know what I mean? I hope you guys understand where I’m coming from. All I want is to throw a smile on your faces, no more, no less. Please accept my apologies.” She added.
