The tension between Demet Akalın and Gülben Ergen has flared up again. The crisis began when Ergen did not mention Akalın's friend in her thank-you post, and it escalated with mutual harsh words. Most recently, Akalın blocked Ergen. In response to Ergen's words, "The sheep cares for its life, while the butcher is concerned about the meat," Akalın replied sharply: "I guess I'm the butcher, and the meat is mine!" İrem Derici also got involved in the dispute between the two.
A crisis had occurred between Demet Akalın and Gülben Ergen a few months ago. The Çocuklar Gülsün Diye Association, founded by Ergen, opened a kindergarten named after 8-year-old Narin Güran, who went missing in Diyarbakır Bağlar on August 21, 2024, and whose lifeless body was found in Eğertutmaz Stream on September 8, 2024. Gülben Ergen thanked those who contributed to the construction of the school via social media. However, Demet Akalın reacted at that time to the absence of a friend's name on the thank-you list.
In her social media post, Demet Akalın expressed her disappointment, saying, "You missed a thank you, dear Gülben! It was disrespectful to the Ceylan family."
Gülben Ergen responded to this criticism with the following words: "Dear Demet... Did you mean to say 'may it be good and auspicious for our school'? I couldn't think that your valuable friends who built our playground were expecting a 'thank you' on Instagram. I had thanked them via WhatsApp. If you write their addresses, I can thank them here as well."
THE DISPUTE HEATED UP
Now, a new tension has arisen between Demet Akalın and Gülben Ergen. Following Demet Akalın blocking Gülben Ergen on social media, Ergen reacted with the words, "The sheep's life is in the butcher's hands." Demet Akalın responded harshly to these words, saying, "I guess I'm the butcher, and the meat is mine! Yes, I unfollowed! I wasn't a butcher when I said I would be embarrassed if Narin's school construction wouldn't be finished... Anyway, if it weren't about Narin!" Demet Akalın revealed in a response to a follower that she had actually blocked Ergen a month ago.
İREM DERİCİ GOT INVOLVED IN THE DISPUTE
İrem Derici, who frequently draws attention with her posts on social media regarding current issues, sided with Gülben Ergen. Derici tagged Gülben Ergen on her social media page, saying, "You are free, my love flower, welcome to the club."
