Lokman İn, who received the "Trusted Entrepreneur" award at the International Quality Awards, made a significant impact with his statement during the event. He claimed that the famous presenter Özge Ulusoy did not adhere to the contract, stating, "The person who scammed me is giving me an award. Does being famous give them the right to scam me?" He expressed his frustration as he left the stage, where attempts were made to drown out his voice with music. The passive behavior of the other presenter was also surprising.
Businessman Lokman İn took the stage at an award ceremony hosted by Özge Ulusoy and received the award for the most reliable entrepreneur of the year. However, the award ceremony made headlines with an unexpected statement. While receiving the award from Ulusoy, İn used expressions that sparked much discussion.
"DOES BEING FAMOUS GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DEFRAUD?"
Famous model and host Özge Ulusoy hosted the International Quality Awards ceremony held last night. At this special night attended by many figures from the business world, the atmosphere became tense with the speech of Lokman İn, the founder of Bowax Turkey, who took the stage to receive the Reliable Entrepreneur award.
"IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO RECEIVE AN AWARD FROM SOMEONE WHO DEFRAUDED ME"
Lokman İn took the microphone on stage and claimed that Özge Ulusoy, with whom they had previously reached an agreement for a project, did not fulfill her contractual obligations. While receiving the award, he expressed his reaction by saying, "It's very interesting to receive an award from someone who defrauded me. Does being famous give you the right to defraud?"
Continuing his statements, İn used the following expressions: "She came to the opening, took the money but did not make a post. I call her on the phone, she doesn't answer. They turn up the music so that our voices are not heard on stage. Being famous does not mean that she can defraud everyone. She runs away when she sees me. She needs to give back what she took. In 19 years of business life, you encounter very different people. Until I came on stage, there was a lady host here. It was a coincidence that I learned when I arrived. So, does being famous give you the right to defraud? Can you get away with it?" he said, expressing his grievances as he left the stage. The male host next to Özge Ulusoy notably remained passive and did not intervene in the situation.
"PAYMENT WAS MADE, BUT CONDITIONS WERE NOT MET"
A striking statement regarding the incident was also made from the social media account of the company owned by Lokman İn. The statement indicated that Özge Ulusoy's fee was paid for her participation in the opening event, but she did not fulfill her commitment. The company statement included the following remarks: "Özge Ulusoy, with whom we agreed for her participation in our opening event, has not fulfilled her commitment despite the payment being made. Yesterday, as our founder Lokman İn was about to take the stage at an award ceremony, she was taken off the stage by her manager Mine Kayakıran."
At the end of the statement, it was pointed out that similar problems are experienced throughout the industry, and the following call was made:
"Özge Ulusoy, at the center of such disgrace, continued the program as if nothing had happened. Because this is not just our problem, but a problem faced by dozens of brands in the industry. It's time to raise our voices! We will not let this go. Please be careful about who you work with."
