Deniz Baysal removes husband's surname amid divorce proceedings

Actress Deniz Baysal has removed her husband Barış Yurtçu’s surname from her social media profiles, signaling a significant development in their seven-year marriage. Baysal reportedly filed for divorce at the Istanbul Courthouse in July due to differences in opinion. While the proceedings were initially expected to be uncontested, they have reportedly transitioned into a contested divorce.

Legal disputes have emerged regarding the case. Allegations have surfaced concerning financial demands made by Yurtçu and claims of infidelity. Yurtçu, through his lawyer Tarkan Erdal, has denied allegations of infidelity, describing them as baseless attacks on his personal rights. His legal team has announced intentions to seek compensation and file criminal charges against those spreading false information or violating the court-ordered privacy of the case.
