Singer and actress Gülben Ergen has reacted to criticism stemming from video footage taken during an event she attended in Adıyaman.

Unable to remain indifferent to comments claiming she rejected a woman who wanted to hold her hand during a dance because the woman was 'veiled,' Ergen shared photos from the event and argued that she was being treated unfairly.

Here is that statement from Gülben Ergen:

"For me, people are divided into two categories.

Good people.

Bad people.

I was lost in the moment with the young girls dancing the halay.

There is no such thing as a woman whose hand I refused to hold.

Drown in your own malice!

I do not judge people based on what they wear or do not wear.

You army of ignorant people who judge, you are pathetic!"
