Recently, the world of art and entertainment has been shaken by a series of allegations of sexual harassment and exposure.
ALLEGATION OF HARASSMENT AGAINST FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHER Mesut Adlin, one of the well-known photographers in the music industry, has come to the forefront with allegations of sexual harassment that spread on social media. It was claimed that Adlin persistently tried to communicate with a child under the age of 18 and sent inappropriate messages. The allegations quickly gained widespread attention after messages purportedly belonging to Adlin were shared on social media.
JET DECISION FROM MANIFEST Following the developments, Manifest, one of the popular groups of recent times, announced that all joint projects planned with Adlin have been canceled.
GÜLŞEN'S 'SUPPORT'-LIKE STATEMENT Famous singer Gülşen's post regarding the allegations that drew great backlash on social media caught attention. Gülşen, who made a post that many users interpreted as 'support' for Adlin, who also worked as a photographer, stated, "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That also applies only until (and if) guilt is proven. Aren't justice and laws there for this purpose? To be the voice of the silent and the advocate for the voiceless."
THE TIDE OF REACTIONS TURNED, GÜLŞEN MADE SEVERAL STATEMENTS After her post, Gülşen became the focus of reactions this time. Making consecutive statements and emphasizing that her words were misinterpreted and taken out of context, Gülşen said: "How a subject as innocent as human, women's, and children's rights; and the rightful sensitivity in this area can be so easily overturned, just based on hearsay or rumors that are thought to be hearsay, through accounts whose authenticity is unknown and unclear, and suddenly and easily turned into a 'witch hunt' is what I wrote to remind about the foundation of human rights and law. I live knowing that no being can harm another, and I try to uphold this principle in all my struggles throughout my life. Even trying to explain this is absurd! Trying to twist what I want to say into completely different directions is a form of blindness. I am not trying to protect anyone, especially not in relation to the type of crime mentioned. That is not the issue.
"WHOEVER IS A VICTIM, DO NOT DOUBT THAT I WILL STAND BY THEM UNTIL THE END" To name and defame anyone in a matter where we do not know who it is or to whom it belongs is, at least, as serious a violation of human rights as that crime. This is all I am trying to say. The fact that what I wrote earlier is being twisted may excite more, but questioning my sense of equality towards every living being and my infinite sensitivity does not make me a different person than I am. I assure you that I will stand by whoever is a victim in that picture, which includes one of the names I once worked with, just as you had no doubt yesterday, you should have none today.
MESUT ADLİN ALSO BROKE HIS SILENCE: I CUT OFF COMMUNICATION WHEN I LEARNED HIS AGE After all this, Mesut Adlin, the name at the center of the allegations, also broke his silence. Adlin stated that he cut off communication with the person after learning their age in the leaked messages, emphasizing that his conversations were particularly cut off and were portrayed as if they had continued.
Mesut Adlin Adlin's statement made through his social media account is as follows: "I want to clarify my situation regarding the posts made about me. First of all, I cannot have any communication with someone who is not of appropriate age. In the mentioned conversation, when I learned the other person's age, I cut off communication and unfollowed them. This person has been portrayed as if our communication was ongoing when it was actually cut off and much later conversations were presented as if they were continuous. This is a serious deception.
"I HAVE NEVER HAD, NOR WILL I HAVE, ANY PRESSURE ON ANYONE WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT" I would also like to state the following regarding the other allegations: Throughout my life, I have never pressured anyone without their consent, nor will I. I have never forced anyone who said no to do anything; I have always been careful about boundaries and consent in both my personal life and relationships, and I will continue to do so. I am aware of the essence of women's statements and social sensitivity. Even being associated with such a matter is extremely upsetting and damaging for me. I apologize to everyone for being in the spotlight due to such an issue.
