Veteran television host Giorgos Liagas has sparked widespread public interest after announcing that a formal legal complaint is being prepared against a well-known Greek singer. Liagas made the statement on ANT1’s morning program, To Proino, prompting intense media speculation.
Liagas has not yet named the artist, but he indicated that the singer’s identity is unlikely to be revealed before Thursday. Media outlets report that the delay relates to ongoing legal considerations surrounding the forthcoming complaint.
Liagas has confirmed that the complaint to be filed involves allegations of sexual abuse or inappropriate conduct against a very prominent and well-liked figure in the Greek music scene. He described the singer as one of the biggest names in show business, noting the seriousness of the situation and the broader conversation it has sparked about misconduct behind the spotlight.
According to reports, the forthcoming legal action is expected to include multiple complainants. One detailed account involves a musician who alleges improper behaviour in a dressing room and other settings, though Liagas has emphasised that the allegations have not yet been formally lodged and the singer in question denies wrongdoing, characterising the situation as a possible attempt at coercion or extortion.

A Personal Connection and the Boundaries of Journalism
In a striking revelation, Giorgos Liagas acknowledged that the singer at the center of the allegations, is someone he personally likes and has known on a more intimate level in the past. He revealed that he had been aware of the matter for nearly three months but made a deliberate decision not to bring it into the public domain. However, he stressed that once an issue enters the public sphere, professional responsibility takes precedence. “When a matter becomes public, it is my duty to report it,” Liagas explained, underscoring that journalistic integrity requires him to cover developments of public interest, even when they involve individuals he personally respects or values.
Why the Name Is Not Yet Public
Despite intense speculation online and across social media, Liagas has repeatedly refrained from naming the artist. Greek media professionals point to legal and ethical constraints around defamation and pre-trial confidentiality that restrict public naming of individuals until formal charges are filed or legal permission is granted. The television morning show host, also clarified publicly that the singer is not Stelios Rokkos, one name that had circulated among rumours.
Public Response and Online Buzz
Viewers and social media users have become deeply engaged as the story develops, with early speculation — accurate or not — leading to various names being floated online. Commenters have noted the tension between protecting due process and the public’s desire for transparency, especially when widely beloved entertainers are involved.
Despite this, journalists and media commentators emphasise caution: until formal legal filings are made and confirmed, identification of the singer remains speculative and potentially defamatory if wrongly attributed.
What's Next
Liagas and several outlets have indicated that more concrete information — including the formal complaint and, potentially, the name of the singer — may emerge by Thursday, as legal preparations conclude and complainants move forward with their filings. Authorities, media regulators, and legal advisors will likely govern what can be publicly disclosed.
As the situation continues to develop, both media and legal observers in Greece are watching closely for official statements from prosecutors, the singer’s legal team, or the court system that may clarify details of the allegations and the identities involved.
