The host Esra Sönmezer criticized the fees she paid to cleaners in a video she published. Using her two-story house as an example, Sönmezer lamented the rising costs of cleaning services.
After winning a beauty pageant held in Turkey, Esra Sönmezer, who has been hosting various television programs, made a post that became a hot topic on social media. In a video she shared on her TikTok account, Sönmezer sparked a discussion by addressing the wages of cleaners, using her own payment as an example.
'CLEANER'S FEE IS 6 THOUSAND TL'
In her post, Sönmezer stated, "The cleaner's fee has become 6 thousand TL. I pay 6 for the lower floor, 6 for the upper floor, a total of 12 thousand TL. If they come once a week, that's 48 thousand TL a month, if they go to three houses, they can earn 150 thousand TL, and 600 thousand TL a month. I think everyone should be a cleaner."
The host's comments caused a significant reaction on social media. Some users reacted to Sönmezer's words, commenting, "If you find it expensive, do it yourself."
SHE HAD THROWN HER CROWN ON STAGE
Esra Sönmezer was born on February 23, 1983, in Istanbul. The only child of an Albanian family, Sönmezer became a well-known figure after being chosen as the first in a beauty pageant held in Turkey in 2002. She achieved fourth place in the World Beauty pageant she participated in the same year, but she threw her crown on stage because she felt she was treated unfairly in the competition.
Sönmezer continued her career by appearing in TURKCELL commercials; however, she took a break from her working life for six years to focus on her education after losing her mother. Between 2004 and 2007, Sönmezer took singing, solfège, and music lessons, and in 2007, encouraged by Müjdat Gezen, she joined the Müjdat Gezen Actor Studio, where she took courses in theater, dance, music, diction, and cinema. In her theater career, she acted in "Jüri," a cabaret with Müjdat Gezen at the Savaş Dinçel Stage, and in the play "Theater in the Tavern" with the Oda Theater team.
