It had been alleged that Barım "removed those who did not pledge allegiance to her from the market and paved the way for her own actors." Ayşe Barım's company, ID İletişim, issued a statement denying the allegations. Ergenç, however, gave his support to Ayşe Barım, whom he described as his friend of 25 years.
While some actors in the industry have spoken out to confirm the allegations, support for Ayşe Barım continues to come from other names.
Most recently, famous actor Halit Ergenç, who was seen with his wife Bergüzar Korel at the 'Adsız Aşıklar' gala, gave his support to Ayşe Barım, whom he said he has been friends with for 25 years.
"DOING ONE'S JOB WELL IS NOT A CRIME"
In his statement, Ergenç said, "She is one of the rare, honest people I know.
The current events, these immoral scenarios attributed to them, are truly very heavy. I don't think Ayşe deserves any of this. There is an investigation brought by the Competition Authority, which is a general inquiry sent to around 20 companies.
An perception is being created as if these only have to do with ID, but there is no such thing. Contrary to everything being said, a person doing their job well is not a crime.
Of course, there is a case and there are parties involved. Perhaps it is not right for me to say anything, but I find all these things that are happening to be unfair. There are many things that need to be settled in the industry, but speaking generally, this is a difficult market, it is like this all over the world."
