Tayanç Ayaydın Breaks Silence: “I May Have Been Thoughtless, But I Did Not Harass”
Young actress Doğa Lara Akkaya accused her co-star Tayanç Ayaydın of verbal and written harassment during the 2022 series Tozluyaka. She shared the alleged messages on social media, sparking widespread reactions.
Akkaya’s Statement
“This man is married. They told me to keep quiet because he is older. I was 21, it was my first job, I couldn’t speak. I am burning myself for my sisters, but how can I trust that you will stand behind me? Am I alone again?”
Ayaydın’s Response
“On New Year’s Eve, I sent a message to a colleague. Looking back, I see that while the message had no bad intent, it could be perceived as inappropriate. I sincerely apologize. But let me be clear: I may have been thoughtless, but I did not harass anyone. Once I realized the message was unwelcome, I stopped.”
Defending His Reputation
“Being associated with such a serious accusation has caused me unfair damage. That is why I feel compelled to seek legal action to protect my name and reputation. This is not against women’s right to raise their voices, but solely to address the unjust harm directed at me.”
Professional Background
Ayaydın highlighted his 20-year career, stating he has always worked with respect and trust, and had never faced such accusations before. He apologized to anyone unintentionally hurt and called for fairness in understanding the truth.
