Presenter Christiana Aristotelous criticizes magazine cover regarding past broadcast controversy

On Monday, March 9, television presenter Christiana Aristotelous publicly addressed a report in a local magazine during her show, 'Me Agapi Christiana'. The magazine's cover featured Aristotelous and former footballer Kostas Malekkos, highlighting a condemnation by the Cyprus Radio Television Authority regarding sexist comments made by Malekkos during the 'Sunday Night' show. Aristotelous stated that she personally contacted the magazine's editor-in-chief to invite him on air to discuss the implications of International Women's Day. She clarified that the controversial segment involving Malekkos was cut from the broadcast because he alleged a 'fixed game,' not due to his comments on women. The presenter maintained that she respects the Authority's decision despite disagreeing with it. She characterized the magazine's focus on her as a personal attack rather than a principled stance on the holiday. Aristotelous explicitly labeled the magazine's editorial approach as ridiculous.
