Exclusive for Misr Mubasher | Rana Tariq Breaks Her Silence: “My Husband is Using Our Son as A Bargaining Card to Escape Assault and Child Support Charges.. I Have the Proof”

​By: Abdullah Taher
​In an exclusive statement to “Misr Mubasher,” Ms. Rana Tariq, the wife of Mahmoud Hegazi, has decided to set the record straight and uncover the hidden truths behind the “smear campaign” orchestrated by her husband. With a firm and confident tone, Rana Tariq debunked all allegations against her, asserting that the judiciary is the final arbiter in a crisis that has revealed shocking behind-the-scenes details.
​Travel Ban: A “Bargain,” Not Protection
​Rana Tariq clarified the reality of the travel ban file that Hegazi frequently boasts about, stating: “I never once asked him to lift the travel ban. The one banned from traveling is his son—whom he knows nothing about and provides no financial support for.” In her statements to “Misr Mubasher,” she revealed a “deal” or financial offer Hegazi demanded from her (in USD) in exchange for lifting the ban on the child, which she rejected, emphasizing that she is in Egypt by her own will to pursue her legal rights.
​Child Support Ruling: Definitive Proof of Neglect
​The wife dropped a major legal bombshell, revealing that she recently secured a child support ruling for their son effective retroactively for a full year (the maximum allowed by law). She pointed out that this ruling serves as official condemnation of Hegazi, proving he has not spent “a single penny” on his child since his birth 18 months ago, while she bore all expenses, including the trip to Egypt to allow him to see his son.
​Physical Assault and Suspicious Conduct
​Regarding the core of the dispute, Rana Tariq confirmed that the crisis began when she confronted him about his repeated extramarital involvements and his behavior on social media platforms (TikTok). His response was a “vicious beating” that nearly cost her her life. This case is currently pending before the court, with the next hearing scheduled for February 21st. She added: “I am the one who halted his U.S. citizenship process after discovering his misconduct, and that is what fueled his anger further.”
​Key Facts and Standpoints:
​Seeing the Child: She denied preventing his family from seeing their grandson, explaining that she requested the meeting take place in “public places” out of fear of being assaulted again in closed spaces—a request they rejected.
​Housing and Possession: She revealed that after a court order granted her possession of the marital home, he intentionally brought his family to live with him to harass her, demanding she return to the U.S. so he could live a “bachelor life” without obligations.
​Media Intimidation: She accused the opposing party’s lawyer of attempting to intimidate journalists to prevent the publication of her response, while he continues to speak out, using religion and his son to gain false sympathy.
​A Final Word
​Rana Tariq concluded her statement via “Misr Mubasher” by asserting that she is a “rightful claimant” who does not need to act or launch funded campaigns. She stated: “Enough using our son as a tool for intimidation; he knows nothing about him. Justice will be served, and the truth will continue to come to light because God does not accept injustice.”
