Roky Ahmed, born Rokya El-Safi, stands out as an Egyptian influencer and model in her thirties. She entered the content creation scene six years ago, focusing on fashion, lifestyle, and personal vlogs. Her work, often bold, attracted a sizable audience across platforms before controversy struck.
The turning point came in July 2024. Security forces arrested her in New Cairo on charges of sharing indecent videos to drive views and revenue. A lawyer’s complaint accused her of undermining societal values through revealing attire and suggestive content. During questioning, she denied posting private clips publicly.
After a short detention, release followed on a 10,000 Egyptian pounds bail. Investigations persisted. By February 2025, the Economic Court in Cairo issued a one-year suspended sentence and a 100,000 pounds fine for breaching family principles.
An appeal shifted the outcome. On July 20, 2025, the appellate court reduced it to one month suspended for three years. Her defense drew parallels to films featuring actresses like Soheir Ramzy and Laila Elwy, highlighting inconsistencies in enforcement.
Since then, no additional legal actions have emerged as of October 31, 2025. Ahmed, known as روكي احمد in Arabic, continues her online presence. Recent checks show her Facebook page with around 359,000 likes, featuring fresh fashion updates. Snapchat holds nearly 400,000 subscribers, last active in August. Threads has 186,000 followers, and Instagram reached 847,000 by September, with ongoing modeling posts. A YouTube channel shares professional clips, maintaining her focus on style.
Her experience reflects Egypt’s rigorous oversight of social media, balancing expression with cultural norms. Still, she presses on as a resilient figure in the influencer world.
