Farah Zeynep Abdullah's outburst at Kılıçdaroğlu: 'I am disgusted by you too'

The concert held by American rapper Kanye West at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium continues to be a topic of discussion in tabloid media and on social media. Farah Zeynep Abdullah, who was among the attendees, became the target of criticism due to her participation in the event. Social media users brought the actress's previous statements regarding Yılmaz Güney back to the agenda.

Following the criticism, Abdullah made a long post on her personal social media account. In her post, Abdullah stated that she opposes the glorification of Yılmaz Güney as an individual and criticized the tendency of people to be declared opinion leaders. Furthermore, the actress reacted to the debates based on reading into her intentions.

At the end of her statement, the actress targeted Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reappointed to the CHP Chairmanship by a court decision. Abdullah sparked a new debate on social media by concluding her message with the phrase, "By the way, Kılıçdaroğlu, I am disgusted by you too."

The full text of the famous actress's post is as follows:

"I am writing about this for the last time and summarizing what I have said before, which those who have followed me for a while already know, and what I have said in my interviews and so on:

1.

Enough with Yılmaz G.

2.

I do not find it right for anyone to be sanctified.

I do not respect those who call Yılmaz G. a "perfect person" or the mentality that views him as an opinion leader.

Whether you like his cinema or not does not interest me at all. I am personally against him being glorified. I don't care in the slightest that he is Kurdish, nor his leftism. Your reading into my intentions is merely a reflection of your own dirty thoughts.

3.

If Yılmaz G. were alive right now and making films, I wouldn't say he should go rot in a corner. I wouldn't say don't watch his films, but I would still say don't glorify him as a person; you see, I would say the same things again. Just as I cannot say anything about İbrahim Tatlıses being accepted as a very good voice while not thinking he has any aspect as a human being that deserves respect.

4.

Kanye W. is bipolar, he did absurd things, and he apologized to everyone. Countries banning him seem crazy to me, and I don't find it right for them to be held up as examples; especially when their hypocrisy regarding Palestine is so obvious. Because it seems like completely different policies are being observed, and I don't think any of us, myself included, can fully know and understand such major events.

5.

I am not glorifying Kanye W., I am not saying "he's a top-notch guy, I'd die for him" or anything, I am not turning him into a monument; he has songs I like, not just as a vocalist but as a producer, as a brand, he has made history with his creativity and artistic vision - he is not an opinion leader, mind you, he is someone who has directed music and fashion and left a serious mark.

6.

I will not defend Kanye W. personally, you can curse him out if you want, but I see the lynching of people for attending a musician's concert and the making of lists as nonsense that has gone too far. Someone said 'let's expose them'; how can something that isn't secret be exposed? The desire to label and categorize people is growing day by day, and I find this dangerous.

7.

Doesn't a boycott call for growth, multiplication, and mass participation?

There wasn't even a boycott call before the concert. I didn't understand that either, it was acted as if everyone had agreed and those who went broke the boycott. Or did those who couldn't go take offense? I really have no idea.

8.

The Ozan G. incident was also talked about a lot.

Shouldn't one ask the person who gave the sentence why someone who has been convicted is walking around outside? Furthermore, shouldn't one turn this into a demand, not missing the opportunity to understand people and explain things to people? Do we see everyone's criminal record on their faces when we sit in a public space? No. Could we not be sitting at tables across from a murderer in a cafe? Yes. I am not talking about wanting or not wanting it, I am talking about possibilities. I cannot see the political justification for trying to force someone out of a venue by going after them just because you can. Because the state has given the criminal the right to walk around outside; your problem cannot be with the criminal, it can be with the justice system, and that is something understandable and worth supporting.

The solution to this should not be to go after that person knowing full well they can't do anything to you, and if they do, they are already a criminal, and to abuse the power you have by drawing strength from the fact that their life will be even more ruined.

I observe very clearly that this does not work.

9.

I am not where some are trying to drag feminism; don't keep turning on the 'feminism-meter', believe me, it doesn't help any of us. Feminism is already loaded by default onto all women who stand on their own two feet like donkeys, especially in a profession this visible for years, in a world where women are constantly being tried to be discarded, where even if a man shouts when a woman says a peep, it is always the woman who is talked about, and where all scandals are always tried to be blamed on women, feminism is not an option. It is not something to boast about either. It is a necessity.

10.

By the way, Kılıçdaroğlu, I am disgusted by you too.
