Stathis Schizas responds to criticism following remarks about Stavros Floros

On September 24, 2026, television personality and former 'Survivor' winner Stathis Schizas addressed the public backlash resulting from his recent comments regarding Stavros Floros. Schizas clarified via Instagram Stories that his controversial statement, 'you do not bite the hand that feeds you,' was not directed exclusively at Floros, but rather at various former reality show participants who have publicly criticized the production. He further claimed that his original comments were presented out of context and edited by the program 'Happy Day'.

Beyond defending his position, Schizas launched a sharp critique of presenter Giorgos Liagkas. He accused Liagkas of repeatedly exploiting the personal pain and emotional distress of Stavros Floros for media coverage. While Schizas acknowledged that journalist Stamatina Tsimtsili maintained a professional stance when disagreeing with him, he reserved harsh language for Liagkas, intensifying the debate over journalistic ethics and the handling of sensitive personal issues within the Greek media sector.
