INTERVIEW WITH MERYEM UZERLI

Ayse Arman: You left Turkey in May in a rush. We have heard of the “burnout syndrome”. Are you still on treatment?

Meryem: yes but the difficult days are over. I’m much better now. I let my hair get cut and now it’s darker, back to my natural look. Now I cycle very often. My treatment will continue until the end of the year.

A: How is the treatment?
M: in the first 15 days, I was in custody. First I had to get chemical-based medicine, then herbal medicine.

A: You will be expected again in Turkey, is there any possibility in this regard?

M: Not at the moment. Maybe next year. Who knows? But for Hürrem unlikely.

A: You are one of the few foreigners in Turkey who are truly loved. Another was soccer player Alex. Were you aware of this?

M: No, I wasn’t, but I really appreciate it. I liked them a lot either.

A: what is your secret? Honesty? Or just to be just plain natural?
M: I don’t know, there is no secret. Maybe because of honesty?, maybe because of I’m not lying?

A: Do you feel safer in Berlin?

M: Not at first. For example in the klinik, every time the bell rang, I was scared. I thought, they were from Turkey and would bring me back. I was not in my mind, that’s why I came to Germany.
I know, there are also good hospitals and doctors in Turkey but I saw myself worried about my health being in danger, as my mother tongue is German, I thought, better to be in a hospital in Germany, because I wanted to be understood by someone.

A: There were rumors about the money, you could say ‘No it’s not true’

M: There was too much news and rumors!! But I didn’t have the energy to respond at the time, I was in bed and on medication.

A: It’s wrong for an actress to leave the show before it ends, right?

M: yes, a lot. I would never do that, I only had four episodes to play but I couldn’t.

A: How is your personality in Berlin now?

M: I am no longer Hürrem. Now I am Meryem again. It was time to say goodbye to Hürrem. I didn’t want to look in the mirror and see Hürrem. Because of this, I changed my appearance.

A: Was playing Hürrem the most impressive role of your life?
M: Absolutely.

A: What is the difference of living in Turkey and Germany?

M: I am at home here in Germany. My friends are here and my family. I know the city, I know every street. I’m not famous here, just an ordinary person. I am not a star in Germany. A stranger and a free person, a 31-year-old woman who will soon be a mother in six months.

A: Do Germans know that you are a star in Turkey?

M: No, some know that I participated in a TV series in Turkey, I even said that I could show the DVD but just postponed. I now live a real life. In fact the star life is not real I would say ..

A: Are you aware of the difficulties of being a single mother?

M: Yes, sometimes I get scared when I think about it. A simple way would be to abort the baby, but I think of beautiful things that we will experience together, it will be worth it. I think I am sure to meet someone for future life.

A: Where do you want to raise your baby?

M: I would say that if Can and I had the same point of view, the same philosophy of life and the same belief, I could live in Turkey but unfortunately it is not possible after all that has happened. I will live in Germany. I bought a small apartment here in Berlin, but after finding out I’m pregnant I decided to buy a bigger one. I’m sure after this interview there will be a lot of news and rumors about me but I won’t say absolutely anything, I can’t comment on everything. I know the truth and therefore the God… That’s enough for me. I’ve suffered my baby enough with negative energy, I don’t want it anymore.

A: One day you and Can could get together and live happily ever after?

M: It is very important to forgive someone. This is valid for everyone. Otherwise, it can be a great height. It’s not possible to be together, it’s over. But emphatically, I will forgive him.
A: Is it true, you committed a sue?

M: Yes, that’s true.
A: When?

M: The Night by Antalya Television Awards. I throw my reward on the walls and all over the hotel room. I was a little crazy, I cut my whole body.

A: were you alone?

M: No, Can was with me. I wanted to bounce off the balcony. I wanted to be non-existent, I wanted to be dead. I was sick in my mind.

A: How did it get to this point?

M: My work, my private life. So many things happened…I couldn’t take it anymore.

A: Maybe what happened in your private life pulled the trigger?
M: No. I can’t hold one person responsible for this, it would be a mistake. Since I arrived in Turkey, I have made many mistakes. I couldn’t create a “sweet home” environment. They wanted to give me an apartment but I said no, and it was wrong. I started working like a machine. The first season was very difficult, like all TV series, everything was new and it was nothing regular about the team and the work. Even difficult when I think I’m half Turkish, the language and culture is unfamiliar. Lack of sleep can also destroy someone and it was always the case. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my work, I didn’t want to forget the next day’s lines during filming, what other artists of Turkish origin needed to memorize the lines in just 30 minutes, I needed all night until morning. The second season was also very difficult for me. Meral (agreed) got sick. During his illness, the scenario and the locations were changed several times, we suffered as a team. It was actually no one’s fault. We have gone through difficult times. There were many people around me but I felt lonely all the time. we suffered as a team. It was actually no one’s fault. We have gone through difficult times. There were many people around me but I felt lonely all the time. we suffered as a team. It was actually no one’s fault. We have gone through difficult times. There were many people around me but I felt lonely all the time.
A: And friends?

M: there was and there was not. True friendship and someone you can really trust wasn’t there. I’m a sensitive person, that’s my character. On the other hand it helps me interpret my movie character, I can feel it. The character Hürrem is very difficult to interpret in action and very opposed to me. I don’t want to say that the character of Hürrem is very strong and I’m not, I also have strong sides but in the end we are quite different, being Hürrem was not easy and I gave it my all, I lived for Hürrem. Now I start to cry when I see a picture of Hürrem, it makes me vibrate. My problem was, myself the Meryem was no longer there, three years actually lived as Hürrem and the last months I no longer wasn’t strong enough to interpret this character, I felt empty by my side, there was nothing left. I am a woman, like any woman I want a man who completes me, someone to whom I can lean my back. There was someone there who made a big impression on me as a man, but he doesn’t know it. Anyway, my feelings were platonic about him, nothing happened and I was still alone. In fact, I dreamed of someone I could trust, someone I would feel comfortable with. but he does not know it. Anyway, my feelings were platonic about him, nothing happened and I was still alone. In fact, I dreamed of someone I could trust, someone I would feel comfortable with. but he does not know it. Anyway, my feelings were platonic about him, nothing happened and I was still alone. In fact, I dreamed of someone I could trust, someone I would feel comfortable with.

A: And you didn’t find it?

M: Yes, I could not find. You know there are many women like me. Relations between men and women are full of unbalanced energy in Turkey. Being a woman with this strange sexual energy is very difficult, you don’t feel comfortable as a woman, you can’t trust anyone, you can’t read their minds, you feel you have to protect yourself all the time. In Germany I have friends in all social classes, it’s different in Turkey, you can have friends in different classes, it’s like the cast system in India. I had problems all the time and couldn’t fully understand, resolve this culture.

A: How did you meet Can?

M: As you know, I work with Nebahat Cehre, she is a great actress. She introduced us.

A: I should ask this question at the end, but I’m asking it now; do you still love him?

M: No. I loved a man and this man did not exist. I idealized it, like idealizing an image, nothing behind it. Over time, I felt in love and suffered from the pain of love. He was everything to me and I forgot myself and his being was more important than my being.
Unfortunately, I was in love with a bad man.

A: Ok, but it was your choice.

M: of course! I can’t say it’s all Can’s fault. I would never say that. That’s not the only reason I got sick. It wouldn’t be right to say that. This was the third year in Turkey that we have presented. At that time, I didn’t have enough physical, emotional, psychological strength. When Can came into my life, I didn’t wonder; “Who is this man?”, “How is he?” “Is someone right for me?”. I didn’t do any research. Someone said to me, ‘Are you crazy, why don’t you google it first? It won’t make you happy. He’s a playboy and he’s always with different beautiful women. Usually I never look for a man in Goggle until I meet him, that was weird for me.

A: And then?

M: We met 2-3 times first. My feelings were all the time, ‘just be friends and nothing more’. I felt that his life did not match mine. Even when we were at the balcony of his apartment in Bebek, I told him; “Maybe, let’s just be friends.” He said ‘It’s okay, don’t worry about it’. Then my life was the same again; Film-studio-hotel, cinema-studio-hotel, monotony and loneliness again. Then one day he texted me; “Let’s go out and get something to eat and added at the end of the text ‘just like friends’ he took me in a moment of weakness because I felt so alone, I shouldn’t accept his offer but there was someone ‘one who was interested in me, who loved me and didn’t care about my inner voice and just accepted. With that our relationship started then later I fell in love. During my burnout treatment in Germany, my psychologist asked me; “What do you think, why did you fall in love with this man? Would you do this when you were in Germany? At first I couldn’t give an answer, but now when I look back I probably wouldn’t.

A: How is the relationship going then?

M: At first, Can was positive. I thought it would give me energy, power. He will protect me emotionally.

A: Didn’t it happen as you thought?

M: No, just in front. After a while, I saw a depressed man, with problems, distress and nervousness. My “nurse” feelings grew and I felt sorry for him. I wanted to support him; I thought ‘Nobody knows him very well, he’s sensitive, he feels pain’ I tried to help him wherever I could. I tried to be on his diet again emotionally. But the truth is that I myself was in weak action, after that I was weaker and I didn’t want to show him. Only his interests were important, no matter if I had studio shoots or shoots for commercials. We started living his life and after 11 months our relationship fizzled out anyway.

A: What about pregnancy?

M: It wasn’t on our plan, it was an accident.

A: but birth control..

M: I’m sensitive to hormones, I can’t take pills. We had a special technique, it was not very risky, but not completely safe. I mentioned a few times that I didn’t feel comfortable and safe, but he was confident about it. He was always right, he said nothing would happen but it happened.

A: Did you want to be pregnant?

M: never! I still had one season as Hürrem, how could I do that while pregnant. Absolutely not.

A: Do you have a tip on marriage?

M: No. Marriage is a difficult thing because you almost need a soul mate as your spouse. Early in our relationship, I told her; marriage, not necessarily but I must admit that I would not say no to living together.

A: He didn’t want to marry you?

M: No, he never wants to get married.

A: Why?

M: Because it limits his freedom. He wanted to go out with me, to restaurants, Càfes. That’s all. After that he went home and I went back to my hotel…

A: Was this the kind of relationship you imagined for yourself?

M: of course not. We ate together; we have a good time together, then apart. I didn’t feel like I was home. I was just a visitor. When I remember, I realize we didn’t have a real relationship, we just hung out. But do not get me wrong; He liked being with me, he liked being seen with me but he always acted like he didn’t like being seen with me. But he liked that the photographers took our pictures. One day we were at a Càfe, all of a sudden in front of Càfe was full of journalists. I was in a panic and asked the Càfe owner for a backdoor. Can was very angry with me, he said; we only have 100 meters to go, so there is no need to ask for a backdoor. In that moment I realized that

A: During this 11 month relationship, you didn’t ask to move in together?

M: Yes, I asked but each time he had excuses. ‘It’s not the time yet’, ‘give me time’, ‘But believe me I love you very much.’ Actually, I’m not that stupid but he somehow convinced me every time he likes me. But nothing has changed. Time passed and I was very unhappy. I constantly heard my inner voice ‘Something’s wrong’. Sometimes instincts know best. You can’t lie to yourself.
And the day has come; I had finished. I couldn’t bear anything anymore.

ESCAPED LIKE A WOUNDED ANIMAL

A: In the meantime, you’ve been trying to lose weight, haven’t you? Was it a production request?

M: No, absolutely not. The production was happy with my weight. Can was not satisfied. He said, ‘I don’t find you sexually attractive anymore’ ‘It would be better when you lose a few pounds’ ‘I shouldn’t misunderstand what he’s saying, he says that for my God’ ‘I was a little leaner before”.
During our relationship, I lost the rest of my self-confidence. I hated myself.

He didn’t like what I was wearing either. I started with a diet, worked with a specialist and lost weight. It was a trauma, two years of shuttle between the hotel and the studio. To be alone again meant to me, let’s go back to that trauma again. 5-6 days I was lonely and unhappy and one day in a week we were together again and I was happy. I accepted this for a while, but I suffered a lot. In the end, I was done.

I have been crushed

AYSE ARMAN: Well, pregnancy;

MERYEM: We had a big fight in Bodrum. We were on a boat, someone had a birthday party. All of a sudden, he left. He left me alone on this boat. I had no money, I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t know how could I get a taxi. A German friend also accompanied us, she was also surprised in a bad way. I was miserable. Can you imagine graves before my eyes and 7 kilos less than today. I went back to Istanbul, I was lucky because my German friend accompanied me to the hotel room, otherwise I would try to kill myself like in Antalya. I realized I was trying to start again suiside, I thought, no, no I won’t end up like this, I have to leave immediately, I have to get out of this chaos. I started having strange tough ones; like ‘everyone uses me’ ‘I can’t trust anyone’. “Everyone wants to do something bad to me.” The doctor said that I should undergo treatment immediately. Finally, I escaped. I escaped like a 5 year old kid, to save my life.

A: Oh my God. You were in really bad shape. After learning that you didn’t come back from Germany for the filming of the new episode, your ex said it was a burnout syndrome due to the difficult working conditions.

M: Before his statement, he called me. He said, “Everyone calls me and asks about your health. I said, “I’m in hospital and undergoing treatment, I’ll get better soon”, he can make a statement like this. After that I saw his statement, what is it!!! “Horrible and inhuman working conditions, my unconsciousness on set, the money was not enough” etc. etc etc

I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD!
A: But you made a statement at the awards in Antalya.

M: Yes, I said the episodes were too long. But last year Halit also complained about this. Of course they explain something in Turkish better than me. My Turkish sometimes leads to misunderstandings. But to make it short: I escaped, because I wanted to save my life!!!

A: When did you know you were pregnant?

M: When I was in Germany he visited me three times and not every weekend as they say. The last visit was on June 20. He asked; ‘What happened to you, your boobs are a little bigger than usual’
I said, ‘Because I’m fat. I didn’t even think about pregnancy. No chance. He said “do a pregnancy check”. I thought he was joking. Nevertheless I went to a pharmacy and took the test and I couldn’t believe it!! Two lines!! I was pregnant!!
