Personal life
editAl Rassi has been married and divorced three times. Her first marriage was in 1996, when she was only seventeen years old, to Hatem Hadshiti. They divorced after a couple of years, after she gave birth to her first son, Mark. Her second marriage was to Lebanese businessman and actor Gescard Abi Nader in 2001. She gave birth to two sons from him, Marcel and Karl, but they divorced in 2016.[7] Her third marriage was to a TV presenter, Raja Nasser El Deen, in 2017, but they divorced after one year.[8]
After her divorce from Gescard Abi Nader, she entered a legal battle for the custody of her two sons from him.[9] Shortly after her divorce, there were allegations that she had had an affair with a married man. The footage leaks show many intimate pictures with a dentist, Raed Lattouf; the two accused each other of publishing these pictures.[10]
Al Rassi also suffered a great deal from depression, and admitted to attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself from a car, but was saved by her son Mark.[11]
She was in a controversy, after she stated that she is Muslahiya and believes in both Christianity and Islam.[12] She was also criticized for her comments against Syrian refugees in Lebanon,[13] but she later apologized for these comments.[14]
In late 2018, she blamed her family for disowning her when she needed help.[15] However, during the 2019–20 Lebanese protests, Al Rassi accused the Banque du Liban of taking her house, and her inability of renting anymore.[16]
