ALBAWABA - Kerem Bürsin and Selin Yağcıoğlu face backlash over relationship.
Fans in Turkey and the Arab world are going crazy over the news that actor Kerem Bürsin and influencer Selin Yağcıoğlu are dating. What started as a loving revelation swiftly turned into a frightening wave of online harassment. Yağcıoğlu has said publicly that the hostile messages she got have had a big impact on her and her family.
Fans started talking about the couple when they saw that they were at the same places, liked the same things, and interacted with each other on social media, which made it seem like they were spending time together. When a text message from Yağcıoğlu came out, revealing that they had been dating for roughly a month, the rumors got stronger. Reports say that Bürsin told his ex-girlfriend Mehtap Algül to avoid any confusion, which led to more internet discussion.

When Bürsin wrote "Doğum günü kızı..." under Yağcıoğlu's birthday pictures, it became clear to the public that they were together. The response confirmed what people had been saying, and the couple rapidly became one of the most talked-about subjects on Turkish Twitter and Instagram.
But the attention quickly turned awful. Yağcıoğlu said that when the connection became public, hate letters, many of which originated from fan organizations outside of Turkey, increased. She stated that the remarks targeted both her and her daughter, Su. She called the tweets "very rude and inappropriate" and said the harassment got so bad that she opted to display her daughter far less on social media for her protection.
Fans saw that Yağcıoğlu and Mehtap Algül were close friends, which made the scenario even more intriguing and added more drama to the online discourse. Later, Algül talked about private breaches and that he didn't like how personal things were exposed.
Despite a lot of opposition, neither Bürsin nor his management has made a public remark. Yağcıoğlu, on the other hand, has made it obvious that the hate campaign is serious, ongoing, and cruel.
People are still quite interested in the couple right now. Their relationship has gotten people talking about fan culture, the limits of the internet, and the stress that famous people feel when their private lives become public.
