Me Too
Main article: MeToo § Greece

The wave of #MeToo that took off in Greece, inspired a number of actresses and actors in the Arts and Entertainment sector to come forward with their own stories of workplace bullying, sexual harassment and abuse, with reports surfacing about Philippidis' involvement in such cases. Following these revelations, Philippidis was removed from the TV programs and shows he was starring.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

He was charged on sexual harassment charges and he was imprisoned on 28 July 2021.[7][8]
