TUĞÇE TAYFUR: MY BROTHER GAVE HIS KIDNEY TO OUR FATHER WILLINGLY
Tuğçe Tayfur, who made a statement on the show Gel Konuşalım regarding the issue, said, "My brother is so upset. He is distraught, asking 'What are those messages?' He says, 'I don't even use social media. Those messages are not true.' It is out of the question for my brother to ask for his kidney back from our father. My brother will make a video message to explain. He willingly gave his kidney to our father. We were all in line, and as soon as he fell asleep, the surgery process began immediately.
"I AM ASHAMED"
I am ashamed to experience such things even before my father's 40th day. I am also protecting my brother Taha's rights. Because only a villa was left to Taha from the inheritance. I am very sorry that we took my father's funeral from the hospital where he was admitted for a cold. But let's not talk about these things," she expressed.
