"SHE HAS TAKEN THE STAGE IN A COSTUME LIKE A PORN FIGURE"
In his post, Sinan Burhan criticized Hadise's stage style with harsh language, saying, "Hadise has taken the stage in a costume like a porn figure... Is this what you call art?"
Burhan continued his criticism by citing important figures from the world of Turkish culture and art in his post. Mentioning names such as Aşık Veysel, Neşet Ertaş, Yaşar Kemal, Ara Güler, Necip Fazıl Kısakürek, and Ahmet Özhan, Burhan emphasized that these artists added lasting values to society with their works. Burhan asked, "If Hadise is an artist, then what are these names?"
"THE YOUTH ARE BEING POISONED" OUTBURST
Continuing his criticisms, Burhan also addressed those who reacted to him for sharing the footage in question. He stated, "I am addressing those who ask why you are publishing this video. Even if you close your eyes, the youth are being poisoned. You cannot just cover it up and move on. You must say enough is enough."
HADİSE'S RESPONSE WAS SWIFT
Making a statement following Burhan's posts, Hadise stated that all women were being targeted through her.
"I am not the target of this ugly, intentional post that uses my name and aims to intimidate all women through footage from a Harbiye concert a year ago," said Hadise, who included the following statements in the explanation she made on her social media account:
"This intimidation directed at women through me reveals just how justified the legal process I previously initiated is. I will continue to follow up on these processes. Take your hands and your tongues off women's bodies."
