The claim that filming on the set of the series 'Yeraltı' was halted due to a smell from Devrim Özkan's hair has exploded onto the gossip agenda. Devrim Özkan issued a harsh statement in response to the allegations. Describing the incident as a 'character assassination,' Devrim Özkan stated that her silence stems from her dignity and said she would take legal action.
The series "Yeraltı" has come to the agenda this time not with its script, but with an alleged incident that took place behind the scenes. According to the claim made by magazine reporter Akif Yaman; during the shooting of the series, the director stopped the shoot due to an intense odor coming from Devrim Özkan's hair.
According to the claim, a short break was taken on set, and it was alleged that Özkan's hair was washed. The herbal oils used by the actress in her hair care were also said to be the cause of this odor.
STRONG REACTION FROM DEVRİM ÖZKAN
Following these allegations that hit the magazine agenda like a bombshell, an explanation came from Devrim Özkan without delay. Özkan stated that the news in question did not reflect the truth and used strong words.
In her statement, the actress emphasized that the allegations targeting her were unethical and expressed that such news were completely fictitious. She stated that the individuals or platforms making these allegations acted with the aim of "engagement and clicks."
EMPHASIS ON "ASSASSINATION OF REPUTATION"
Özkan stated that she had faced similar baseless allegations in the past and argued that this situation has turned into a systematic smear campaign. She expressed that the news disregarded a person's effort, private life, and dignity.
The actress, using strong words in her statement, said that interactions obtained through slander and lies will vanish in the face of the truth.
WILL INITIATE LEGAL PROCESS
Devrim Özkan stated that her silence should not be misunderstood and announced that she will resort to legal means this time. The actress declared that she will initiate a legal process regarding all the fake news that has been published so far, along with the latest allegation.
Devrim Özkan used the following statements in her full statement:
"Today, I feel obliged to make this statement regarding the baseless allegations targeting me under the name of 'news' that are incompatible with any ethical value.
This individual/platform, which has made it a habit to systematically defame me and assassinate my reputation for years, has today once again trampled on journalistic principles and served up a completely fictitious scenario.
It is obvious that the only motivation of this mentality, which has added a new one to its previous allegations proven false many times, is 'engagement and clicks.' These actions, which disregard a person's effort, private life, and dignity for the sake of a few likes and more views, cannot be explained by either press freedom or humanity.
I clearly say to those who try to cover up their own failures by polluting others' lives:
Every penny you earn from that fake world you construct over the unhappiness and victimization of others is forbidden. Those 'interactions' you obtain by slandering, lying, and violating others' rights are doomed to shatter against the truth.
To those who do not understand that our silence stems from our dignity, not acceptance, our answer this time will not only be like this. I will legally confront all the fake news accumulated so far and today's latest ugly allegation."
