Rita Hayek exposed betrayal over hit play "Venus": "They Stole My Role and Used My Name!"
After revealing a new poster for the play "Venus," in which she costarred with Badih Abou Chacra as "Vanda," Rita Hayek broke her silence to share the truth with her fans.
Rita's statement was sent when Rola Baksmati took her position in upcoming plays in Canada and Dubai.

Rita posted a video on her Instagram account to express gratitude to her followers for their support and words of solidarity. "I really don't know how to put my feelings into words," she remarked. Rita shared an advertisement for the play "Venus," a replica of the original Lebanese production we showcased ten years ago, which triumphantly returned a few months ago with more than 120 sold-out performances.
She went on to say, "One of the main reasons for this success, with all humility, is the role I worked on, created with great effort, and through which I created the character of the Lebanese Vanda." I must include you in the picture and provide definitive answers to your queries because I shared my achievement and joy with you. It's not the same Lebanese "Venice" that you know and love, and that's what made it so successful; that's going to be played in Canada or Dubai."
She went on to say, "Three of my pals collaborated, put in a lot of effort, and developed their play's concept together, which helped us achieve some success. What actually happened was that the people I thought were closest to me took away my artistic and financial rights. But I'll know how to get them back. I'll know how to assert my rights.
Rita then shared new evidence that her name was being used in upcoming shows of the play in Dubai, after conducting a Google search, writing a comment that read, "‼️They even use my name to sell tickets in Dubai 😂 Please share‼️."
