I was busy today so I couldn't comment until now, plus I wanted to gather all the facts and let the dust settle before I said anything, but here are my thoughts on the #Hercai situation for anyone who cares:
Taking aside whether Banu's claims are true or not, look at the history & pattern of her behavior:
Gaslighting
Lies
Spoiling the plot
Sidelining Ebru
Playing favorites
Directors quitting/being fired
Terrible writer choices/high turn over rate

She is the DEFINITION of unprofessional. If true, there are ways to discretely handle a rude/unprofessional cast member and blasting them on SM the day before the last ep ISN'T IT.
Keep it under wraps until it is resolved.
Get law involved if necessary.
Get psychiatric help.

If she truly wanted the best for him and he was really spiraling, she could have made an earlier final & gotten him some psych/rehab help back home in IST.
It doesn't need to be swept under the rug, but there are ways to let others in the business know who is trouble.

With that said, and if you compare her history with his, most of us have come to the same conclusion that Banu was exaggerating & outright lying.
She's money & power hungry. She plays games. Hercai is done, he insults her NEPHEW, and she decides to go for the throat.

The saddest thing of all is that I think her games & playing favorites had an effect on Ebru.
Banu constantly favored Akin until she tried to publicly destroy him. What is poor ignored Ebru to do? Disassociate. Unfollow. Stay silent.

What would you do? Your partner got better lines, more scenes, better focus on his character for 2 years. Any one of us would be upset.
The problem I see is that she is taking it out on the wrong person.
But can't you see how Banu could easily spin it to make Akin look bad?

This is 100% conjecture, but in my mind it makes sense.
Why all the cast gets along w/ both but they don't associate w/ eo any more than strictly necessary?
They were pitted against each other by Banu.
Cem might've negated that a bit but when he left, so did the protection.
