Pelin Batu, who became a subject of debate over the name she gave her child, responded to the criticisms.
Pelin Batu, who married in 2018 and ended her marriage in 2022 after a 4-year relationship, had named her son Rafael, which became a widely discussed topic. Pelin Batu made a statement regarding the matter on her official account.

Here is that statement
- Since our son was born, his name has been the subject of a stupid polemic.
1. It is none of your business; we will give whatever name we want.
2. Rafael is the name of a painter I love very much and is the angel of healing in all monotheistic religions.
3. We are not going to take lessons in patriotism from those who sell out their country every day.
