After Sibel Taşçıoğlu unfollowed “Cranberry Sorbet” screenwriter Zeynep Gür, the latter commented on the situation:
“Honestly, I learned about it from the news. This is all related to the series’ storyline. I have always approached the work professionally and will continue in the same manner. The structure of the show is built on the plot, and our goal is for it to continue for at least thirty more episodes. I still follow her. I think expressing emotions through social media is a bit childish. And of course, I thank her for her beautiful acting.”
