Beyza Gemici, who swam to change islands in Survivor and was caught alone under a tree with Sercan Yıldırım, broke her silence with a video she released after being eliminated from the competition.
Survivor Famous Volunteers 2026 witnessed a striking farewell just days before the final. Beyza Gemici became the last contestant to leave the competition before the grand finale on June 19. Beyza, who made headlines for swimming to the opposite island and being caught alone with Sercan Yıldırım under a tree, clarified the events in a video she released after being eliminated.
“MY GOAL WAS NOT TO LEAVE”
Beyza Gemici explained that on the day of the incident, she moved away from the camp to paint, stating that she had no plan to go to the opposite island. Beyza said she started painting in the morning, finished it, and then entered the sea, calling out to people she saw on the other side. "The camps are not very far from each other. When I called out to Murat Abi, there was someone else with him whom I thought was a cameraman. Despite that, I called out. My goal was not to leave; I had no such intention," Beyza said, claiming that the events unfolded spontaneously.
"I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN FOR THE SHOW"
Beyza stated that she had no ill intent while approaching the opposite shore and described her thoughts at the time: "As I went, I thought, 'Should I get out on the shore here?' I wasn't in very deep water either. It was like the instinct to do stupid things people do in high school; I just thought about it that way. At one point, I even thought it would be fun for the show."
IT HAD MADE HEADLINES
Beyza Gemici's swimming to the opposite island and being seen alone with Sercan Yıldırım under a tree sparked major controversy in the competition. Acun Ilıcalı also reacted to Beyza in the council, criticizing the risk she took and the events that occurred.
