Greek Actress Defends Living at Actor's Home Amid Online Backlash

Greek actress Keti Finou has voiced her frustration with a barrage of negative comments on social media, stemming from a recent video where she expressed shame about being Greek and her continued residence at the 'House of the Actor' foundation.

“

I never expected there to be so much malice for the fact that I live at the House of the Actor.

Finou addressed those who quickly condemned her, explaining that her controversial statement about being ashamed to be Greek was made in a video discussing a skyscraper development and new villas in the Elliniko area. She clarified that while she, like many, has expressed dissatisfaction with aspects of Greek society, her comment was not a blanket condemnation of her country.

“

I live here not because I am comfortable but because I do not act on television and the money from the theater is so little that it would not be enough for me to pay even for utilities.

She further defended her living situation at the 'House of the Actor,' stating she never anticipated such malice for choosing to reside there. Finou explained that her decision is not one of comfort but a financial necessity, as her theater earnings are insufficient to cover basic living expenses like utilities. She expressed regret for those who accuse her of living on benefits or making substantial income from TikTok.

“

I am very sorry for all of you who talk about benefits and about TikTok that 'I make so much money'.
