Why Turks don’t like Meriem Uzerli

After the release of the series “The Magnificent Century”, the whole world learned about the Turkish actress Meryem Uzerli. Everyone predicts a successful career for the talented star, but the number of skeptics is increasing. It is surprising that Meriem has many more fans abroad than in Turkey. And here are the reasons.

Millions of viewers can’t forgive the actress for the surprising departure from “The Magnificent Century”. Meriem herself says that because of her pregnancy she had to leave the series, but there are rumors that the reason is her dissatisfaction with the amount of salary. In any case, it is very difficult for both the film crew and the audience to accept her replacement.

Meriem has two daughters out of wedlock. Although Turkey is a secular country, patriarchal views are still very strong there. The fact that the actress gave birth to children out of wedlock shocked many of her fellow citizens. Even her colleagues, including Nebahat Chehre, indulge in obscene remarks about her. However, Weatherly is not paying attention to the rumors and is enjoying her motherhood.

Lack of real acting talent. Most fans of Turkish series say with some regret that Meriem is only good in the role of Hürem, because in no other project can she truly reveal herself, no matter how hard she tries.
