It was claimed that Esra Erol made a reference to Müge Anlı at the Golden Butterfly Award Ceremony. Responding to these claims, Erol said, "People are more interested in negative comments."
It has been claimed that Esra Erol and Müge Anlı, who have been known to have a strained relationship for a while, made references to each other in their speeches at the last Golden Butterfly Award Ceremony.
Müge Anlı's statement while receiving the award at the ceremony, "I had announced last year that I would withdraw from this competition. There are many reasons for this, but one of them was the comments from my valued friends, including my dear Çağla Şıkel, saying 'Müge is doing a very different job. We have no chance when we compete in the same category.' I think this was one of the most honorable compliments I have ever heard in my life," had a significant impact.
Esra Erol's mention of women's solidarity after receiving the award from her close friend Bergüzar Korel was interpreted as a response to Müge Anlı's words.
Speaking to Candaş Tolga Işık about these claims, Erol said the following:
"I SAID SOMETHING VERY POSITIVE"
"Actually, I was going to give a speech related to the Narin family during my award speech. But what made that night much more special and meaningful for me was that my dear friend Bergüzar Korel surprised me. I was very excited when I saw her. Because we are women who have a wonderful friendship, support each other, and are in solidarity regarding our work. Actually, I referred to my friendship with Bergüzar and all women. People may perceive this as 'Did she throw shade at someone?' But on the contrary... I said something very positive. People are more interested in negative comments. But that's not the reality."
