She said 'I wouldn't sit at the same table,' but they met: Why did Feyza Altun meet with Dilan Polat? 'I was used as a threat'

The emergence of photos showing influencer Dilan Polat and lawyer Feyza Altun together became a hot topic on social media. As Altun's past remark about Polat, "I wouldn't sit at the same table even if I were dying," began circulating again, Altun broke her silence following the intense backlash.

Appearing as a guest on Pelin Çini's program on YouTube, Altun shared the background of the meeting and the notable details with full transparency.

Feyza Altun stated that her meeting with Dilan Polat was not a planned encounter and made the following remarks:

"It wasn't a dinner planned yesterday; it was a meeting we had scheduled with Sevim Alan. I had a conflict with Sevim Alan in the past, but we later reconciled. Sevim Alan brought us together. She said, 'You need to talk face-to-face.' I am someone who prefers peace and reconciliation."

"I DIDN'T KNOW DİLAN BEFORE"

Stating that she had not spoken about the case since the Polat family entered prison, Altun said she saw Polat for the first time at this meeting, adding, "I saw Dilan for the first time yesterday. I neither know her nor am I familiar with her from before. They are messaging me saying: 'Engin brought you to your knees too'... Why would Engin bring me to my knees? What do I have to do with it? I didn't ask anyone for money, nor would I."

"EXTORTION WAS BEING DEMANDED USING MY NAME"

Feyza Altun alleged that money was being demanded from various people using her name and noted the following:

"I learned that extortion money has been demanded from people using my name for a very long time. I had previously sent word to Dilan Polat's lawyer, saying, 'It has nothing to do with me.' But the situation got out of hand. They used me as a tool for threats."

"WHEN THE INTIMACY AT THE MEETING WAS CRITICIZED..."

Regarding why she adopted an intimate attitude during the meeting, Altun said:

"The woman was crying, what was I supposed to do? Should I have grabbed her by the throat or pulled her hair? We sat down and talked seriously. I said whatever needed to be said. I said the same things I had said before. I cannot grab people by the throat; that is not my job."

"THIS IS AN ORGANIZED CRIME GROUP"

Altun announced that she would file a criminal complaint regarding the matter:

"I am filing a criminal complaint tomorrow. I also know who these criminal organizations are. What will happen if someone comes out tomorrow and says, 'We took orders from Feyza Altun'? I will ruin their games."

"THERE ARE THINGS BEHIND THIS THAT GO BEYOND US"

Altun implied that while the case was discussed during their meeting with Polat, the process was shaped by a much larger structure:

"There are very different things behind this business that go beyond both me and her. No one should use my name. If they are using my name against someone, I will go and look them in the eye and say, 'I have nothing to do with this.' If I did, I would come out and say, 'Yes, I did it.'"

"LET'S TALK ABOUT FACTS, NOT TABLOID GOSSIP"

Feyza Altun continued her speech as follows:

"I was threatened, I was insulted, my name was used. I am exhausted now. Everyone's concern is gossip; no one looks at my explanation. Let them experience what I have lived through. I walked around with a bodyguard for a while. No one knows these things."

"This is true; I regret getting involved in this. Everything that could happen to me has happened. But the meeting was not bad. I have made my statement; whoever wants to can think whatever they want. I followed Dilan last night. From now on, if someone uses my name, let them tell me, and I will do what is necessary."
