Mohsin Abbas Haider’s testimony is gaining him more ire on social media.
Mohsin Abbas Haider’s wife Fatema Sohail took to social media with allegations of her husband physically and emotionally abusing her. She outlined the alleged abuse she had suffered at the hands of Mohsin Abbas Haider through the course of their marriage. Various celebrities came forward in Fatema’s support and some even attested to the fact that they had either witnessed the alleged abusive behavior first or second-hand.
A day after she posted about her alleged ordeal, Mohsin Abbas Haider held a press conference at the Lahore Press Club to share his side of the story and deny the allegations.
Mohsin Abbas Haider organized the press conference to help clear out what he claims are false allegations made against him by his wife, Fatema Sohail.
But apparently, it did not work since a lot of people noticed inconsistencies in what he was saying during the press conference.
From the mysterious circumstances surrounding his wife’s bruises, as explained by Mohsin Abbas.
In the start he says she showed him bruises from falling off the stairs by sending pics when he was out of city?? Later says she showed him when came home?? Somewhere in between he slipped that she showed 2018 pics so she can show from recent abuse hence confirming it happened?? https://t.co/M9f49gjuY7

People were quick to notice that this vocabulary matches what women and their counterparts have used for years to hide instances of domestic violence.
The script for abusive men is always the same
Deny, devalidate, gaslight, rinse repeat. It doesn't matter the age, or social influence. I could vomit, I could weep. https://t.co/Kw9swmdJ2s— feeeeelings only feeeeelings (@Eustacebaaaang) July 21, 2019
During the presser, he also claims the photos are from 2018.
Mohsin Abbas claims that the picture Fatema shared is from 2018. He doesn’t deny them.
So where’s the lie? She said he beat her during pregnancy and she was pregnant in 2018. What an asshole.

I still can't believe what Mohsin Abbas Haider did and then actually said in the press conference yesterday. Still feel so bad. Man, I was his fan since so damn long. Nothing can justify physical abuse, NOTHING!

A lot of people deemed Mohsin Abbas Haider’s entire press conference as misogynistic and quite telling. From claims that his wife was using the ‘woman card’ to referring to her as a ‘gold digger’, he made a lot of problematic statements.

When asked about the FIR, some saw Mohsin Abbas as deviating from the topic
FIR mentions that Mohsin asked for 1 crore rupees. Reporter asked him about it.
Mohsin’s response: I washed my own clothes after I got married.

In short, not a lot of people bought what he was selling.
Just saw #MohsinAbbasHaider 's press conference – feeling sick to the core. Great optics but the stereotypical references made to women, using religion as a mean for proving oneself right and reference to woman card etc were all tick boxes for me in terms of what perpetrators

The quality of the video was awful but this is pretty much the sum of it
He did not confirm or deny his relationship with Nazish Jahangir
He claims Fatima is lying
He states he & Fatima were separated
Also:
‘I am old fashioned’

Others were confused about certain lines of defense he was using.
Mohsin Abbas Haider really said "I'm from a Syed family" lol the number of times I've heard that from people. Ap syed hain tu kia karen ham? What gift of god do you think you are by virtue of being a syed?

People who are 'syed' defending Mohsin Abbas Haider because he is syed and according to them 'SYEDS' don't harm anyone so he is not a culprit. 😂
Logic? Where you at?

#MohsinAbbasHaider made everything clear in a Press Conference in Lahore. Hence proved, woman always came up to defame man without any solid proofs. As before @itsmeeshashafi did in the case of @AliZafarsays. Later, He was proved innocent in court, and Meesha found accused.
