A detention order has been issued against influencer Fatma Soydaş, who sparked a huge reaction with her content shared on social media, on charges of "publicly denigrating the religious values adopted by a segment of the public." According to information reported by journalist Burak Doğan, access to Soydaş's social media accounts has also been blocked.
HER SHARES WERE THE LAST STRAW
After increasing her follower count, Fatma Soydaş switched to a paid subscription system, and her posts caused outrage on social media. Allegedly including inappropriate posts in the category of exclusive content, even foot photos, Soydaş faced harsh criticism for blending religious symbols and headscarves with such content. Following the images, hundreds of social media users tagged the Ministry of Interior and police units, calling for legal action against the individual.
'ZEBANİ EFE' LOVE CLAIM AND ABOUT-FACE
The figure at the center of the reactions recently announced that she and Efe Beycan, known by the nickname 'Zebani Efe' and famous for his marginal style, were in a relationship. However, shortly after, she backtracked by making a new statement saying, "We are not lovers." The public interpreted this move by Soydaş as an "attempt to stay in the spotlight and gain engagement."
PAST PROGRAM STATEMENTS BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Following the incidents, Soydaş's dialogues from a program she previously attended became a topic of discussion again. When the host criticized, "Sharing feet, I think, is not befitting a Muslim woman, especially a veiled woman," Soydaş was seen responding, "Who am I to pass judgment?" In the same program, when the host said, "Looking at the headscarf on your head and your actions, we see a lack of sincerity," Soydaş reacted by asking, "Why do you find me insincere?"
