From Hülya Avşar to Merve Taşkın: Didn't you sell your virginity?

Hülya Avşar hosted influencer Merve Taşkın on her latest show. A question asked by Avşar's daughter once again had a bombshell effect.

Merve Taşkın, who was a guest on A Hülya Avşar Chat, made attention-grabbing statements about her personal life. The conversation deepened with the questions asked by Hülya Avşar, and it even reached Merve Taşkın's virginity. At that moment, Avşar's daughter asked, "Didn't you sell your virginity?" and the statements from Merve Taşkın left everyone speechless.

"THEY PAY MORE WHEN YOU'RE A VIRGIN"

In response to Hülya Avşar's question, which was based on a confession made by Merve Taşkın in the past, Merve Taşkın said the following:

There was an offer like that, they pay more when you're a virgin. There are also those who have it done and those who pretend to be virgins. I actually thought about it because the amount was higher compared to the normal rates at that time. Then the first offer came from an older person, and I told him that I couldn't do it, there was an intermediary, and it was actually an acceptable amount for me and it would change many things, I could establish a more comfortable life. Because I had just arrived in Istanbul.

"HE DIDN'T WANT THE MONEY, I KEPT IT"

If it was a normal person, you would say that you don't want to do it, or if it hurts, you would react, but how would it be in this case, would it be rude or polite, I couldn't do it because I was scared, then another offer came. I had said yes to him, and he had sent the money, he was young, handsome, and rich, someone I could normally say okay to, and he had sent the money. We would go on a vacation, stay at a hotel, have a 3-4 day holiday, and so on. But as the date approached, I got scared again and said sorry. He didn't want the money, I kept it.

RECEIVED BACKLASH

Merve Taşkın's story received backlash. The interview, which was published on social media, was criticized by users with comments like "What benefit does this have for society? It sets a bad example for young people."
