After the images became a topic of discussion, Alıcık, who stated that an assassination of his reputation was being carried out, indicated that the photo in question was taken at a hotel he went to for a program, saying, "It was a hotel we went to for a program. When my friends said they were downstairs, I went down to them. There were normally other friends of ours in that frame as well. However, they only cropped and shared me. An assassination of my reputation is being carried out. I have nothing to do with gambling," he said.
