Hande Sarıoğlu addresses Mehmet Akif Ersoy!

Broadcaster Hande Sarıoğlu, whose name has recently been associated with drug operations and media reports, made a statement on social media. Reacting sharply to the allegations against her, Sarıoğlu stated that attempts were being made to tarnish her reputation through secret witnesses and slander.

Emphasizing that she has been working in the media sector since 2010, Hande Sarıoğlu addressed her acquaintances in the industry and stated that she has always been an honest person. In her statement, Sarıoğlu noted the following:

"I, Hande Sarıoğlu, having worked as a presenter and broadcaster in this community since 2010, having met dozens of channel managers, pop singers, football players, and actors, those who know me and those who have met me know very well that not a single soul has been able to reach me. No one has ever found an opening with me. I have neither coveted their lifestyles nor their circles."

Describing the accusations directed at her as "slander," Sarıoğlu addressed people she knows from the industry with the following words:

"How did you know me? Without exception, from everyone, including my friends, everyone who has met me, you will write what you know about me, what kind of person I am; I will hear it one by one. You will tell my story, not the slanderous scoundrels."

Hande Sarıoğlu stated that she worked as a sports broadcaster at Habertürk between May 2018 and March 2020, and regarding the allegations against her during this period, she said:

"Habertürk, started May 2018, left March 2020. I am standing tall here against all the slander directed at me. I am facing all of you. You secret witness who slanders me, do you have no dignity, honor, or humanity at all? But I will not leave my life to the slanders of liars like you."

Sarıoğlu used the following expressions against those targeting her:

"As the toughest woman in this community I am in, let the king come, let the sultan come, they cannot be my equal; I have sworn to teach you humanity, damn it. You will not be able to consume my name or my rights."

Hande Sarıoğlu also addressed the arrested former Habertürk Editor-in-Chief Mehmet Akif Ersoy with harsh words.

Sarıoğlu stated that she was in no way involved in the drug operations where her name was mentioned and that Ersoy was trying to involve her in these matters:

"Now let's get to the main protagonist of the event, MEHMET AKİF ERSOY, who is crushed under his own name...

Whatever mess you made, whoever you got involved with, you can't drag me into this. Forget the letters you wrote with political backing and the public messages you sent. You will write about me, ERSOY. You will write in my name. You are the father of 2 sons. For their sake, you will write the truth."

Sarıoğlu stated that she had no relationship with Mehmet Akif Ersoy during the period he was a broadcaster and said the following:

"Damn it, I worked at Habertürk between 2018-2020. Akif, you were just a broadcaster back then, you didn't have any power like Editor-in-Chief or anything. When did I ever enter your circle? Tell me, did I ever come together with you or those mentioned people in any setting even once!"

“WRITE THE TRUTH, EXPLAIN EVERYTHING”

Loading heavy criticism onto Ersoy, Sarıoğlu stated that he must write the truth and continued as follows:

"Damn it, if someone asked me who is more pious, your mother or Akif, who prays 5 times a day, I would have said you, damn it. You betrayed yourself and your life. You cannot betray an honest person like me. You will write, Akif, you will write everything about who did what. You will write about those who did it. You will write about those who were in those circles so that my name is not left to those who slander; you will tell the truth and remove these dirty slanders from me."
