Criminal charges have been filed against Hülya Avşar and Merve Taşkın, who are prominent figures in the world of social media and television. The allegations included promoting prostitution, obscenity, glorifying crime, and statements aimed at humiliating the public.

In the petition requesting access restrictions, it was stated that the video contained content harmful to society, and it included the following statements: "In this broadcast, which is accessible to millions of people, it has been implied that the suspect Merve Taşkın leads a lifestyle considered within the scope of prostitution, and this situation has been normalized by the suspect Hülya Avşar."
A STATEMENT FROM HÜLYA AVŞAR
62-year-old Avşar broke her silence regarding the issue and made a statement on her social media account. The famous figure published a message on Instagram about the matter, saying, 'I absolutely do not accept the news that I have encouraged the profession of Merve Taşkın, whom I hosted on my YouTube channel about a year ago. My aim during that broadcast was to draw attention to some dangers of social media on young people and to raise awareness. Therefore, there is not an encouragement, but rather a warning. For this reason, what I actually expect is gratitude.'
