Greek singer Antonis Remos is preparing to take legal action following a TikTok video by a well-known influencer that appeared to make insinuations about an incident from his past.<\/p>\n
Remos has not personally commented on the controversy. However, his lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, announced that an official extrajudicial demand, known in Greece as an exodiko<\/em>, will be sent to the influencer.<\/p>\n The dispute began after the influencer published a video claiming to have knowledge of an episode from Remos\u2019 past.<\/p>\n She referred to an alleged incident dating back to before 1999 and said that she was a child at the time, while her mother worked at the hospital where Remos was allegedly admitted.<\/p>\n The video reportedly did not contain a direct or specific accusation. However, the wording was interpreted by Remos\u2019 legal team as creating insinuations about the circumstances surrounding his alleged hospitalisation.<\/p>\n On September 23, Dimitrakopoulos appeared on the ANT1 programme To Proino<\/em> and said that Remos considers the statements defamatory.<\/p>\n The lawyer acknowledged that public figures must accept criticism, but argued that there is a distinction between criticism and the publication of claims that are allegedly false and damaging.<\/p>\n Dimitrakopoulos also said that Remos does not know the influencer and that her statements have caused significant distress to the singer and his family.<\/p>\n According to Dimitrakopoulos, the first step will be an exodiko<\/em>, rather than immediately launching court proceedings.<\/p>\n The legal notice will reportedly demand that the influencer retract her statements and issue a public apology.<\/p>\n If she complies, Dimitrakopoulos said Remos would not proceed with either a criminal complaint or a civil lawsuit. If she refuses, the singer is prepared to pursue the matter through the courts.<\/p>\n The controversy comes amid intense public attention in Greece surrounding the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis and reports concerning private medical and wellness facilities.<\/p>\n Remos\u2019 legal team is concerned that viewers could interpret the influencer\u2019s references to his alleged hospitalisation in the context of recent events surrounding Mazonakis.<\/p>\n No connection between the two cases has been established.<\/p>\n As of publication, Remos has not issued a separate public statement about the TikTok video. His position has instead been communicated through his lawyer.<\/p>\n The dispute will now depend on whether the influencer retracts her statements and apologises or whether Remos proceeds with legal action.<\/p>\nBriefly about the main points<\/h2>\n
