Disgusting treatment by workers at Istanbul airport

she also had papers from her surgeon to show them.
she said they made her rip off her surgery dressings, causing her to bleed, they were touching and squeezing her, and they made horrible remarks towards her

she has further videos about things that happened on wizz air. I don’t know how to post more than one video

RS on TikTok

A young woman has been assaulted here - that's the key thing, not her other life choices!

I had a fall in Grand Canaria, and had my wrist in plaster, needed a fit to fly certificate which got me through security.

I haven’t opened any of the links but I imagine she’s after compensation.

The FCO has been strongly advising British citizens not to travel to Turkey for medical procedures for ages now, their safety record is very worrying (no matter what they’re unethical, glitzy social media ads say).

In fact, travel to Turkey for any reason at the moment is strongly advised against.

Some of these comments are unbelievable in regards to what happened to her at the airport. Ripping off the dressing from her stitches causing her to bleed, squeezing her body and using abusive language to her! That is not acceptable. I can only assume you are not listening or reading, or are heartless and prejudiced because she’s had cosmetic surgery, as some comments demonstrate. Yes she did have medical papers from her surgeon, as did others who commented under her post, some got a similar experience that she received, but most who had a great experience at the airport.

Were you there? Did you witness any of this? No one is heartless or prejudiced. You seem very irate for watching someone’s bias tik tok

Trying to get compo to pay off the surgery costs I imagine.

i suspect the OP is the woman in question.

She should direct her anger at whoever gave her the baboon’s arse for lips.

The FCO website says no such thing. It only “strongly advises against” travel to a tiny part of Turkey adjoining the Syrian and Iraqi borders.

That’s what I thought!

fourelementary · 09/11/2023 17:09

Meh. I don’t believe her. And she used the word “discusting” as a hashtag so that sums her up to me. She uses these words like “ripped my bandages off” when we all know she was asked to remove bandages to show she wasn’t smuggling shit in them… she should have paid more to stay in a resort until she had healed from her ridiculous vanity surgery that looks frankly stupid.
No sympathy here sorry.

Kitchendisco1 · 09/11/2023 17:11

Of all the terrible things that are happening in the world this has to rank at the very bottom in terms of eliciting any sympathy from me!

Her life choice was fishing for views by posting links to MN. Or fishing for a Daily Heil pick-up and a compo face splash in the nationals for Influencer Juice.

It’s nothing to do with special treatment. You’re being purposely ignorant, but I see you are abusive yourself and clearly have issues, so of course you’d defend it.

You seem heavily invested in this. Is it you that this happened to?

MayThe4th · 09/11/2023 17:23

Tiktok is generally full of attention seeking thicko’s. I suspect most of the bullshit she’s spouting is made up, aside from which, airline staff are perfectly within their rights to follow security protocols.

FirstFallopians · 09/11/2023 17:24

I don’t judge anyone for travelling for surgery, I have a few acquaintances who have done it and it’s seems to have worked out for them.

I do judge people who fly when they are not physically recovered enough to manage themselves through the airport, security or boarding, and hasn’t made accommodations for that.

Maybe this lady has had a taste of what it’s like travelling as a disabled person- difference is, she’ll (hopefully) recover.

GirrlCrush · 09/11/2023 17:27

Those dressings could have been hiding alsorts

Were they really 'ripped off' though....or simply removed to check?

MayThe4th · 09/11/2023 17:29

Did any of that actually happen though? Only watched the first link and there is an upset women but no evidence of bandages being ripped off, her getting squeezed, etc.

Same, I am definitely not clicking on those.

DyslexicPoster · 09/11/2023 17:38

She said they was touching her. Not sure that's nessary is it? I haven't had to show my tits and had them touched. There's a body scanner in most airports to see you naked while you keep your clothes on and people's hands off.

I'm not comfortable with saying she is stupid therefore deserves to be degraded in a sexual way. That's a pretty common line by misogynistic men. She had breast surgery so it's OK to xyz stupid girl. Not nice and reinforces that narrative really. She has no right to dignity because she had a vanity procedure? Such a low bar of compassion.

jupitermonket · 09/11/2023 17:39

OP you are the woman in the TikTok videos and I claim my five pounds.

If you want to find some more soothing fake outrage, and your big payout, the Daily Mail is that way >>>>>>>
