When the actors don't receive demand, they declare Hande Erçel as the scapegoat.

Seda Fettahoğlu, an actress from Istanbul City Theatres of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, was found dead in Şehitler Park on September 10th. Following Fettahoğlu's suicide, Melek Baykal expressed her reaction by saying, "Magazine stars are favored on screen."

Müge Dağıstanlı from Haber10 discussed the claim that producer Faruk Turgut always chooses the same names. Turgut responded to the allegations, saying, "First of all, I am very saddened. But not only producers should be blamed! Managers are also contributing to the monopoly. There are management agencies that bring the screenwriter and director together. They constantly push their own actors and teams to the channels and create a monopoly."

"They declare Hande Erçel as the scapegoat," said Nebahat Çehre, Onur Büyüktopçu, and Goncagül Sunal, who supported Melek Baykal's words, reminding Turgut of who has connections. Turgut responded, "I have put my signature on 74 significant productions until today. I pay the deserving actor. I never accept favoritism. That's why my conscience is clear. Melek Baykal is a valuable theater performer, and she receives constant offers. Nebahat Çehre also rejects the offers. I asked her to play the role of the grandmother in 'Kızılcık Şerbeti' recently, but she refused. There is jealousy in many other names. When they don't get demand, they usually declare someone, mostly Hande Erçel, as the scapegoat."

Turgut also commented on Hande Erçel's performance, saying, "Turkey debates Hande's acting skills, but when an audience in South America watches her, they don't say 'Her acting is limited.' They follow her with enthusiasm. I don't understand why they scapegoat her. It's as if they all give Oscar-worthy performances, except Hande! Moreover, she doesn't have any connections like others. Everyone should accept that Hande Erçel guarantees the international sales of a series. This means the survival of the production."
