Famous actor Nejat İşler came to the agenda with the fight he had with journalists. After leaving the venue, Nejat İşler, who got angry and cursed at the persistent questions of the reporters, was headbutted by journalist Tarık Eker.
JOURNALIST WHO HEADBUTTED NEJAT İŞLER MAKES "APOLOGY" STATEMENT
After the footage spread, Eker made a statement. In his statement on social media, he apologized. Tarık Eker said that Nejat İşler cursed at him and his daughter, and that he lost his temper.
"NEJAT İŞLER USED CURSE AND INSULTING WORDS"
Eker included the following statements in his explanation: "I have to make this statement regarding the footage that has occupied the public's attention between me and actor Nejat İşler. Like every journalist and my colleagues, I have no other wish or desire than to do my job.
On the night of the incident, I approached Nejat İşler quite politely and conveyed my request to interview him. In response to my request, Nejat İşler said, "Are you Osman Gökçek's dog? I'm not giving an interview to that guy's channel. F... off." and cursed and insulted me in front of people.
Despite my response to his statements, "Mr. Nejat, why are you speaking like this? It's inappropriate," he continued his curses and insults. Nejat İşler, who has experienced such incidents with my colleagues many times before, asked me, "Why are you working with these dogs?" I told him, "I am a magazine reporter who has dedicated 20 years to this industry, I am doing my job. Also, I have a daughter I am responsible for." Even though I distanced myself from him, he continued to hurl heavy insults and curses at me from behind.
"I DID NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD"
Not content with that, the actor, under the influence of alcohol, added, "Your boss and your daughter..." and continued his curses and insults, but I did not open my mouth to say a single word. While I was still looking for news like my other journalist friends in the same neighborhood, when I wanted to ask Nejat İşler a question again, he continued with the curses and insults. An incident occurred that I never wanted to experience due to his impulsive behavior.
"I APOLOGIZE"
Due to this incident, I apologize to my institution, Nejat İşler, my daughter, and the entire public. My colleagues and managers who know me well know that I have never experienced such a situation in the magazine journalism I have worked hard for many years.
"I COULDN'T BEAR THE WORDS HE SAID ABOUT MY CHILD"
Most importantly, I am a father of a daughter; I couldn't bear the words he said about my child. I realize that what I did was wrong, but I apologize for having acted in such a way after the words related to my child and for putting my institution in such a situation."
