ALBAWABA - Devrim Özkan denies viral claims about her on-set controversy.

An intriguing incident allegedly occurring on the set of the TV series "Yeraltı" (Underground) has made headlines. According to claims made by gossip reporter Akif Yaman, filming was interrupted due to a strong odor coming from Devrim Özkan's hair. The actress has issued a strong statement in response.

ALLEGEDLY, THE SCENT AFFECTED FILMING

The allegations didn't stop there. It was claimed that the crew took a short break, during which Özkan's hair was washed. It was alleged that the herbal oils she used for hair care caused a strong odor, affecting the filming process.

DEVRIM ÖZKAN ISSUES A STRONG STATEMENT

Devrim Özkan issued a strong statement regarding these rumors. She stated that the news reports were untrue and described them as "unethical and baseless." In her statement, the actress argued that these allegations were part of a deliberate smear campaign and announced that she would be initiating legal proceedings.

Here is Devrim Özkan's full statement:

I feel compelled to make this statement today regarding the baseless allegations, disguised as "news," that target me and are incompatible with any ethical values.

This individual/media outlet, which has made it a habit to systematically slander and assassinate my reputation for years, has once again trampled on journalistic principles by serving up a completely fabricated scenario. Adding another false claim to those already proven wrong, it is clear that this mindset's sole motivation is "interaction and clicks." These actions, which disregard a person's hard work, private life, and honor for the sake of a few likes and more views, cannot be explained by either freedom of the press or humanity. I am clearly stating to those who try to cover up their failures by tarnishing the lives of others:

Every penny you earn from that fake world you've constructed on the unhappiness and suffering of others is ill-gotten gains. The "interactions" you gain through slander, lies, and violations of others' rights will inevitably collapse when confronted with the truth. Our response to those who don't understand that our silence is not a surrender but a sign of dignity will not be limited to these circumstances. I will legally settle accounts regarding all the false news accumulated until today and this latest ugly accusation.
