The debate that started after host Ece Erken shared a photo of herself wearing a headscarf is growing. Journalist İsmail Saymaz's comments on the matter have become a topic of discussion, while Erken's response was swift. Erken clarified the issue by saying, "It's not a headscarf, it's the train of my dress."
After sharing the image during the broadcast, Ece Erken, who became the center of discussions, responded harshly to journalist İsmail Saymaz's statements. In his evaluation after those images, Saymaz stated that Erken wore a headscarf with a dress that had shoulder cutouts, saying, "There is nothing abnormal about this; she looked quite beautiful and it suited her well. No one is objecting to this."
'ARE YOU CRAZY?'
Following these words, Ece Erken made a strong statement on her social media account. She used the following expressions in her post:
"Are you crazy? I placed a part of the dress as an accessory on my head, not during the broadcast, but during the commercial break. I posted a story because the color was nice, that's all... What does the train of the dress have to do with a headscarf? Then share those who wear hats as well. What is the purpose? To get clicks? To point me out? I made a really wrong choice."
'I WELCOME YOU WITH TOLERANCE IN THIS HOLY MONTH'
Erken also continued her reaction by saying, "It was inappropriate to say there is no problem and then point me out. I was disappointed. Still, I welcome you with tolerance in this holy month of Ramadan."
The debate, which was divided on social media, quickly rose to the top of the agenda.
