Social media influencer Özlem Öz alarmed her followers and sparked a huge wave of backlash on social media with her latest video shared in the final days of her fifth pregnancy. Özlem Öz, who frequently makes headlines on their channel where she and her husband Dr. Tayyar Taylan Öz share their luxurious lifestyle and daily life, became the target of social media after sliding down the stairs of her home with her baby bump.

Özlem Öz, one of the most talked-about names in the social media world, became the focus of criticism due to a risky video she shared in the final weeks of her pregnancy with her fifth child.

The influencer, who together with her husband Dr. Tayyar Taylan Öz has a large follower base thanks to their luxurious lifestyle, large family life, and high-budget social media content, literally made hearts skip a beat with her latest post. In the video shot just days before the birth, Özlem Öz is seen sliding and crawling down the marble stairs in her home, step by step, to the lower floor. The rest of the video shows her quickly running toward the door, accompanied by the note, "Mrs. Özlem ran away from home, folks."

"HOW CAN SHE TAKE THIS RISK EVEN THOUGH SHE IS A NURSE?" 

Social media users reacted harshly to these images of Özlem Öz, who graduated from Marmara University's Nursing Department and whose actual profession is nursing. Followers, noting that such jolting movements in the 9th month of pregnancy could trigger premature birth, lead to placental abruption, or pose a risk of falling, flooded the post with thousands of critical comments. 

Users expressed their reaction to the influencer, saying, "You are risking both your own health and your baby's life for clicks and engagement."

PREVIOUSLY MADE HEADLINES WITH FINANCIAL INVESTIGATIONS 

Özlem Lina Öz, born in 1989, who, besides being a social media content creator, operates in the beauty and e-commerce sectors with her husband, had also been included in the money laundering and financial crime investigations targeting influencers that shook Turkey's agenda in 2023. Legal proceedings were initiated against the couple at that time, and steps were taken regarding their assets.

As Öz, who is counting down the days to hold her fifth baby in her arms, stirred up controversy by shooting such content despite her professional background, the video quickly went viral, receiving thousands of shares and comments.
