Turkish Series Aile Removed from Leading Middle Eastern Digital Platform, Shahid

Nejat İşler’s Tweet and Ultimatum Sparks Removal of Turkish TV Series ”Aile” from Leading Middle Eastern Digital Platform, Shahid, owned by MbC Group

In a shocking turn of events, the widely popular Turkish TV Drama series ‘Aile’ known as ‘The Family,’ faces expulsion from the Middle East’s largest digital platform, Shahid, owned by MbC Group. The catalyst behind this unexpected removal appears to be a controversial vulgar tweet supposedly originating from actor Nejat İşler, attributed to a fake online account. İşler, expressing his dissatisfaction, has sternly warned of legal repercussions against the responsible parties, setting a Monday deadline for corrective action.

​Renowned actor Nejat İşler finds himself embroiled in a tangled web of fake accounts, with accusations pointing to a profanity-laden post about the Super Cup crisis during the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe match, allegedly from a bogus Nejat İşler account.

This contentious post seemingly led to the ‘Aile’ series’ removal from the Middle East’s premier digital platform, Shahid. Nejat İşler, not holding back, has threatened legal consequences for those associated with the deceptive accounts, providing a brief window for rectification until Monday.

The furor erupted following the crisis during the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe Super Cup match held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where a fabricated Nejat İşler account disseminated offensive content linked to the incident, rapidly gaining traction.

Nejat İşler, incensed by the offensive content, took to his Instagram to address the issue: “To all fraudulent accounts parading as me on social media, mimicking my voice, I urge you to shut down these accounts by the next business day. Statements steeped in racial undertones not only harm my reputation but also have repercussions for those connected to me. If you have any sense of decency, close these accounts. I prefer not to resort to legal action.”
