Claims circulating on social media that famous actress Ege Kökenli said, "Yıldız Tilbe attempted to beat my husband Lior Ahituv in the award ceremony restroom on the grounds that he is a Zionist," stirred up controversy. While Yıldız Tilbe reacted by saying, "I seek refuge in Allah from slanders," Ege Kökenli also categorically denied the allegations, stating that such a statement did not belong to her and that she did not know Tilbe at all.
A striking claim spreading on social media caused tension between famous actor Ege Kökenli and master artist Yıldız Tilbe. Following the allegation, which emerged through Ege Kökenli's husband Lior Ahituv and quickly became a trending topic as an "attempted assault at an award ceremony," both sides made consecutive statements.
ALLEGATION: "SHE TRIED TO BEAT HIM IN THE RESTROOM"
In a post that caused a huge uproar on social media, it was claimed that Ege Kökenli said, "I haven't attended the Golden Butterfly Award Ceremonies for two years because Yıldız Tilbe tried to beat my husband Lior Ahituv in the restroom of the award ceremony on the grounds that he is a 'Zionist.'" After this claim quickly spread, all eyes turned to the two famous figures.
YILDIZ TİLBE: I SEEK REFUGE IN GOD
Yıldız Tilbe, known for her strong reactions against Israeli barbarism in Gaza and frequently making donations and aid to the region, reacted harshly, believing these social media words to be true. Deeply saddened by the allegations, Tilbe used the following statements in a post on her social media account: "I seek refuge in God. I entrust people I don't know or recognize, and their slanders and all kinds of lies, all to God."
EGE KÖKENLI DENIED: THE WORDS DO NOT BELONG TO ME
After Yıldız Tilbe's statement, actor Ege Kökenli also broke his silence. Stating that there was a huge baseless claim, the famous actor emphasized that the words circulated on social media definitely did not belong to him. Kökenli completely denied the allegations, stating that he had never met Yıldız Tilbe in his life and that such a dialogue or incident never occurred between them. The fabricated claim, understood to be a fabrication by a social media account, ended with strong denials from both artists.
