Model blames Mohamed Salah for his comments after Egypt national team's harassment scandal

British-Egyptian model Merhan Keller, who has been at the centre of the Egypt national team's harassment scandal, blames Liverpool and Egypt national team’s star Mohamed Salah for his comments on that matter. Keller claims she has received 'thousands' of messages of abuse after Liverpool star Mohamed Salah tweeted about his Egypt team-mate Amr Warda and helped secure his return to the Africa Cup of Nations squad. Warda had been sent home from the tournament after admitting that he had sent vile messages of a sexual nature to Ms Keller. But then he apologized and after Mohamed Salah’s support on social media he was recalled to the squad. https://twitter.com/MoSalah/status/1144030918790672385 https://twitter.com/MoSalah/status/1144031039276240897 Ms Keller claims that she has been left upset to see Salah offering his opinion on the sensitive subject. "What is shocking for me in the Mohamed Salah situation is that it had absolutely nothing to do with him," she said. "I understand the human side of it, that it is his team-mate and he is trying to take his side and he is trying to support him. "But my concern here is that you can do that on a private level. You can go to him and tell him that he made a mistake, 'make sure you don’t do that again, I would advise you to make a public apology and just focus on yourself and your career and let’s just get through this'. "You know what he has done, so the fact that he is still siding with him is really, really painful. Ms Keller added: "He is one of the most recognised figures in the world right now. This has pushed people to harass me even more. "You have no idea the amount of hate messages, threats and stuff that I am getting. "It is horrible to see yourself in memes and in comics and having everyone making fun of you and swaying away from the main problem." The Egypt team are currently in their homeland playing in the Africa Cup of Nations, where they are the tournament favourites. They take on Uganda in their final group game on Sunday night.
