Turkish actor reportedly takes revenge on his school by buying and demolishing it

What Happened?

Turkish actor Çağlar Ertuğrul (known for series like The Organization) caused quite a stir when he posted on Instagram that he had purchased and demolished his old elementary school. He claimed to have done so as an act of revenge against the teachers who physically disciplined him during his childhood.

In his post, Ertuğrul wrote: “My primary school teachers always beat me, so I bought the school and completely destroyed it. I won’t build anything in its place. Let it remain like my traumas turned into rubble”.

Public Reaction:

-Mixed reactions flooded his Instagram. Some supported his right to express his trauma, while others criticized the act as disrespectful toward education and educators.

-A teacher commented (via a news report):
“I respect you as an artist, but I can’t fit this post into my thinking. I think this didn’t happen... it’s not nice.”

- Another user shared their own childhood memories, while others expressed support or amusement.

Çağlar Ertuğrul’s gesture—if true—is a bold, symbolic expression of personal trauma. It opened a conversation about childhood discipline, how public figures process past pain, and the blurred lines between performance and reality. But since the claims haven’t been confirmed by independent sources, consider this story a mix of personal narrative and spectacle.
