Reactions from the art world drew attention following the death of famous producer Erol Köse. While some individuals shared condolence messages, many celebrities used harsh expressions towards Köse by bringing up past issues they had experienced.
ATILLA TAŞ'S POISONOUS WORDS
Atilla Taş made serious accusations against Köse in a post on his social media account.
Taş stated, "You threw a ton of slander behind my back, stole millions of my money, and didn't let me work for years. You deprived me of my job and my bread. I do not forgive you... May your fire be abundant," he expressed.
"I DO NOT FORGIVE YOU" MESSAGES
Singer Nez and Sinem Umaş also made similar harsh statements towards Köse.
Nez shared on his social media account, "I have only one sentence to say, and I will never speak about this issue. Only God and I know what my family and I have been through for years!
I do not forgive you."
Sinem Umaş, who gained recognition from the "Gelinim Olur Musun" competition, also reacted by stating that her career was negatively affected during her youth.
Umaş used the following expressions: "In the years I left the competition, you said you would make an album during my most popular times, but you kept me waiting for years. I went and worked with ridiculous people, I got lost, I was only 20 years old... You ruined my life in my youth!! May your fire be abundant Erol Köse!!!!
No one should speak behind the back of the dead; don't say things like 'nothing will come of you' because you can't hurt me. At the time I was most popular, you made me sign a contract and kept me waiting for 5 years without doing anything; I couldn't agree with anyone, I couldn't work, and then there was no popularity left, nothing!!! They say your voice is bad, whatever, go write Sinem Umaş on YouTube, I have a ton of videos; whose voice is bad anyway? When I participated in the competition, I was performing as a soloist; what do you know to talk? Those who belittle the competition I participated in are people who can't do anything; shut your mouths!! None of you got married without looking for a partner!! I will not ask you to whom I will forgive or not forgive!!! "
IREM DERİCİ'S IMPLICIT POST
İrem Derici, in a post without naming anyone directly, pointed out that some deaths leave deep scars, while others "don't even stir a leaf," and drew attention by saying, "At least we could get İlber Ortaylı back."
STRIKING CLAIMS FROM CENK EREN AND ROBER HATEMO
Cenk Eren claimed that he experienced a stage ban due to Köse and faced financial difficulties. Eren shared, "I was banned from everywhere for 2 years; they blocked my stages. There were days when I fell financially and couldn't pay my rent. When he took me to his room after making me wait for 3 hours, he kept me standing for half an hour. He said, 'What album? You will be punished even more.'"
Rober Hatemo also claimed that he suffered a significant financial loss because of Köse. Hatemo stated, "I had bought a piece of land in Alaçatı with all the money I had saved. I understood what it would become back then. But unfortunately, because of Erol Köse, that land was of no use to me. He did such things to many people. There was a veiled threat incident, and that property did not remain for me. He hurt many people. Still, may God forgive his sins, and may he go in peace. I don't want to speak badly anymore."
DIFFERENT REACTIONS ALSO CAME
Some individuals gave more moderate messages.
İbrahim Tatlıses expressed that he received the news of Köse's death with "deep sadness" and offered his condolences. Doğuş stated that despite his grievances, he forgave him. Yeşim Salkım emphasized that no one should experience such a death.
SEDA SAYAN: I FORGAVE BUT I CURSED A LOT
Seda Sayan also stated in her statement that Köse apologized to her and that she forgave him, but she mentioned that she "cursed a lot" due to past events.
