Khaberni - After days of silence and controversy, the Kuwaiti content creator Dr. Khulood broke her silence with an emotional message posted on her official account, following her and her husband's release from detention. The message carried a clear tone of gratitude to everyone who asked about her and supported her during the detention period, asserting that the prayers and sincere feelings had a profound effect on her, despite her inability to respond to everyone.
Dr. Khulood mentioned that she is going through a difficult psychological phase and needs some time to grasp what she went through, describing the experience as a harsh test that left a significant internal impact. She also apologized for any shortcomings in responding to her fans, affirming that what she lived through was bigger than her ability to interact at that moment, and concluded her message with a request for prayers, with her hope that God would compensate her for this ordeal.
The start of the crisis and the detention of Dr. Khulood and her husband
The details of the crisis trace back to early January 2026, when news of the detention of Dr. Khulood and her husband Amin Ghbashy immediately upon their arrival at Kuwait Airport spread, creating a wide wave of controversy across social media. As questions intensified, press reports confirmed that the authorities decided to detain them on a preventative basis pending investigations, in a legal step aimed at completing the examination and inquiry procedures.
The preventive detention was a regulatory measure usual in cases involving financial suspicions or legal infractions, and is not in itself a conviction or final judgment, although the association of the case with a known and influential personality increased the intensity of public and media interaction with it.
Reasons for detention and circulating accusations
According to what was reported in press coverage, the reasons for the precautionary detention were due to accusations related to not declaring financial sums upon entering the country, alongside the suspicion of consuming prohibited substances, which necessitated the intervention of the public prosecutor to investigate the circumstances of the incident.
Rumors also circulated about suspicions linked to money laundering, although this point has not yet been definitively concluded and remains within the framework of preliminary investigations undergoing examination and scrutiny. Legal sources confirmed that all these accusations are still under investigation, and no final judgment has been issued regarding them.
The course of the investigations and preventive detention
Dr. Khulood and her husband spent 21 days under preventative detention, a legal period that allows the investigative authorities sufficient opportunity to gather information, hear testimonies, and examine relevant evidence. During this period, their names dominated search engines, with varied reactions ranging from supportive to anticipatory to critical.
During the investigations, the focus was on the sources of funds they possessed, the compliance with legal financial disclosure procedures, and the examination of test results related to the suspicion of consuming prohibited substances, procedures subject to strict legal protocols.
Decision on bail and release
Upon the end of the preventive detention period, the competent authorities decided to release Dr. Khulood and her husband on a financial bail, with the continuation of the investigations. This decision represented a temporary breakthrough in the course of the crisis, allowing them to return to their home and follow up on the case from outside the detention environment.
Legal experts confirm that the release does not mean dropping charges or ending the case, but it is a procedure that allows the accused to follow the investigations without detention, until a final decision is issued by the public prosecutor, whether to dismiss or refer to trial.
What particularly stood out in Dr. Khulood's message was her focus on the psychological aspect of the experience, where she explained that she went through a harsh phase that affected her morale, rendering her unable to interact with the public as she usually did. This confession opened up a wave of sympathy from a wide range of followers, who saw in her talk a human side far from the ideal image usually presented on social platforms.
This aspect also raised questions about the psychological pressures celebrities face in legal crises, especially when cases turn into public discussions, laden with interpretations and conjectures that may exceed the legal truth.
Social media witnessed a clear division in reactions to the case. While many expressed their support for Dr. Khulood, considering what happened as just a legal procedure that should not be the basis for a moral or social judgment, others believed that fame imposes a double responsibility, and that any legal infraction – if proven – should be accounted for regardless of the individual's status.
Unofficial analyses and speculations about the nature of the accusations also intensified the debate, in the absence of detailed official data to decisively settle the matter.
So far, the case is still within the scope of the investigations, and no final judgment has been issued to convict or acquit Dr. Khulood and her husband. Legal procedures confirm that the public prosecutor continues to study the file, examine the evidence, and listen to all the involved parties, before making the final decision.
It is expected in the coming period that more details of the case will become clearer, whether by dismissing it due to insufficient evidence or by referring it to the judiciary for resolution according to the law.
