CLAIM OF "DROPPING HIS HAND BECAUSE SHE WORE A HEADSCARF"
The moments when famous singer Gülben Ergen danced with citizens at the event became a topic of discussion on social media.
It was claimed that Ergen dropped the hand of the person next to her because she was wearing a headscarf and did not hold hands despite insistence.
ERGEN MADE A STATEMENT
Following the claims, Ergen made a statement regarding the issue. In her statement on social media, Ergen said, "For me, people are divided into two. Good people. Bad people. I got lost in the moment with our young girls dancing. There cannot be a woman whose hand I did not hold. May you drown in your bad intentions! I do not judge people based on what they wear or do not wear. You are pitiful, an army of ignorant judges! Your hearts are corrupt. Your intentions are rotten. Just look. If you have any shame, be ashamed and apologize."
