Complexion problems may be the root of his unpleasantness.

Serkan K., a lawyer registered with the Istanbul Bar Association, was
working on behalf of G.Z. and her family but the two became 
romantically involved.   However (!), after breaking up with Serkan K.,
G.Z. married someone else.  Serkan K., though, was not to be denied
and continued to pursue G.Z. despite her being married.

Serkan K. took secret videos of his encounters with G.Z., after her
marriage, and threatened to blackmail her with them.  But G.Z. foiled
the blackmail plan by telling her new husband about her relationship
with Serkan K., who then threatened G.Z. with a gun.  G.Z. reported
Serkan K. to the Bar Association, but he only increased his threats so
she took her case to court.  

In her complaint, G.Z. stated that "during previous arguments he 
grabbed my neck and tried to strangle me. Because I exposed 
all of his threats and blackmail he may kill me with a gun.  I fear for 
my life and for my family members."  The Bar Association has started
an inquiry into Serkan K. and the court ordered protection for G.Z.
for one month (!).
