Previous television interviews of the late Syrian artist Huda Shaarawi have resurfaced, shedding light on the human side of her life. She spoke candidly about her psychological suffering and her difficult experience with domestic workers, confirming that these recurring experiences had a profound impact on her mental state and daily behavior. Huda Shaarawi mentioned during the interview that her behavior changed over time, explaining that she was not naturally nervous but was known for being lively, joking, singing, and dancing, until daily accumulated pressures affected her mental health. The artist revealed that she dealt with 13 domestic workers, and the last one caused her great fatigue due to the difficulty of communication and not understanding the requirements of life inside the house. Investigations indicated that she was involved in a tragic incident inside her home, with suspicion falling on her maid before she fled the scene. Security forces arrested the suspect in the murder case as part of ongoing investigations to uncover the details of the incident. The Attorney General in Damascus stated that the suspect confessed during initial interrogations to committing the crime, without disclosing further details about the motives or circumstances of the incident, while the relevant authorities continue to complete the investigations and necessary legal procedures in accordance with the applicable laws. She cited a striking example that lasted for 8 months, where one of the workers spoke to her in English before she discovered that she was proficient in Arabic. In response to the host's question about a possible racist dimension to her talk, Huda Shaarawi firmly denied it, affirming that her suffering was primarily human and psychological and not related to the nationality or origin of the workers, describing herself as being in a state of severe exhaustion. The Syrian artistic community was shaken by the news of the late Syrian artist Huda Shaarawi being found dead inside her home in Damascus at the age of 87, after a long artistic career that left a clear mark on Syrian and Arabic drama. She also noted that some workers did not adhere to customs and traditions, which created a constant state of tension.
