Actor thrown off Jet2 flight in 'row over Pringles' hits back after viral TikTok
Mustafa Denizkan, otherwise known as Elunico Hazaver, claims he was unfairly taken off flight LS721 in a spat over some Pringles but denied being 'aggressive, drunk and dangerous' on the flight
An actor who was thrown off a Jet2 flight has spoken out to 'set the record straight', blasting reports that he was 'aggressive, drunk and dangerous' on the flight as incorrect.
Mustafa Denizkan, otherwise known as Elunico Hazaver, claims he was unfairly taken off flight LS721 in a spat over some Pringles.
The row took place on board the plane, which left Edinburgh Airport at around 3pm on May 10, heading for Larnaca in Cyprus, before it was diverted to Thessaloniki in Greece.
Denizkan claims he was taken off the flight after an 'argument between himself, a passenger and the cabin crew'. But he said that reports of him being 'aggressive, drunk and dangerous' were false.
The actor is known for starring in Turkish drama Gönül İşleri, and 2002 short film Yaprak, Edinburgh Live reports. Taking to Instagram to 'clarify', Denizkan said: "I am currently on medication for a number of medical conditions.
"When the cabin crew started serving the passengers, I waited until the cabin crew trolley was in my row. When the member of the cabin crew came in the row I was, I waited until she asked me what I wanted to order and she continued pushing the trolley through the back without asking me anything.
"After 10 minutes I pressed the button. A member of the cabin crew came and asked me what I wanted.
"She was a bit rude. I told her I wanted water and Pringles. She told me to wait for my turn. I said okay. I waited for another 10 minutes and pressed the button again. The same person came and told me to wait again. I waited for another 10 minutes and pressed the button again."
Denizkan claims he was asked to stop pushing the button. He then admitted raising his voice to the cabin crew, and was allegedly told he wouldn't be served.
He continued: "Another passenger got involved and started to shout at me. The guy who shouted at me grabbed my necklaces and ripped them off and I tried to defend myself by pushing him away. That's all!
"I did not punch anyone, I was not drunk. I did not abuse anyone."
Another passenger uploaded footage to TikTok of the incident, where it has received more than 90,000 views to date. The clip, which was posted by @jj_bowe, said: "Jet2holidays: Where fists fly before the plane does."
The user accompanied the post by saying: "Shoutout to the guy who thought assaulting crew mid-air was a vibe - thanks for the five hour delay and the unexpected Greek mini-break, legend."

Kieran Trippier's mystery woman exposed as reality TV star amid marriage woes
Newcastle United footballer Kieran Trippier has been spotted partying away with Geordie Shore star Chloe Ferry in Ibiza amid his ongoing marriage woes with estranged wife Charlotte Kieran Trippier has been spotted getting close with reality TV star Chloe Ferry amid his marriage woes. The Newcastle United footballer, 34, was seen with his arm wrapped around Geordie Shore's Chloe, 29, as they partied together in Ibiza. He married wife Charlotte in 2016 and the two went on to welcome three children. However, their marriage has been hit by scandal that sparked when an infamous night out saw him lifting a blonde woman, who has a distinctive tattoo on her left arm, during a night out with his Newcastle teammates. Last month, he was spotted with another blonde woman on a night out in the northern city and has now been seen with Chloe. His estranged wife Charlotte, 36, was reportedly sent a video of Kieran with the woman in May. Now, a photo has shown Kieran with his hand placed on Chloe's bum as they partied alongside their pals in the Ibiza sun at club Ushuaia. A source said: 'Chloe and her friends were introduced to Kieran and his mates and they partied together. 'Kieran was very tactile and put his arm around her when they were together at the club. Chloe is newly single and she was just having some fun." 'She's a gorgeous girl so it's not surprising Kieran was spending time with her," they added to the Sun, who published photos of the pair. Kieran's estranged wife Charlotte is said to be getting legal advice over their marriage and is "moving on". However, a source told the publication Kieran is "devastated" as they claimed: 'He has been desperately trying to get back with her but she's over him.' In September last year, Charlotte was spotted without her wedding ring just a week after Kieran was seen without his. It has been reported that she moved 200 miles across the country with her and Kieran's children to start a new life. There were signs his marriage was possibly in trouble when Charlotte didn't show up to support him during the Euros last year. During the summer, reports came out that the couple went on separate holidays, with the football star jetting off to a lavish Turkish resort while his wife went to Greece with her sister. And adding more weight to speculation that his marriage was in serious trouble, was the fact that the £3.8million family home in Morpeth, Northumberland was up for sale. Meanwhile, Chloe split from her boyfriend Johnny Wilbo in March after a very rocky romance. The reality star started dating Johnny back in 2021 but they split up the following year after Chloe claimed she'd discovered he'd been messaging "numerous girls" behind her back. They reunited again last year and appeared to be going strong, but Chloe reportedly told friends it's "over for good", despite recent speculation they were engaged. When the Celebrity Big Brother star claimed she'd caught Johnny cheating in 2022, she told the Mirror she would 'never' get back together with him. However, she was then spotted in a passionate kiss during a Spanish holiday for her birthday.

Prince Harry and Meghan's 'bold message' to royals in new Archie and Lilibet video
Meghan Markle shared a very sweet and telling video montage for Father's Day, showing Prince Harry with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Meghan Markle has shared unseen footage of her children in a tribute to Father's Day, with it said to signal a fresh approach for the Sussexes. Meghan posted the personal video clips of Prince Harry with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The compilation included various snaps and videos of the Duke of Sussex with his children over the years, marking a significant shifts from them keeping their children's faces out of public view. Meghan shared the video on Instagram, alongside Jason Mraz's song Have It All. Meghan captioned the post: "The best. Happy Father's Day to our favourite guy", as a touching montage of Harry with Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, played out. The video showcases special intimate moments, including footage of Archie and Lilibet as infants, along with other clips of Harry dancing in the kitchen with them, at the beach, and other family outings. This clip follows closely on the heels of another personal video shared by Meghan, showing her twerking while in labour. In response to the new video, body language expert Judi James has highlighted a stark contrast between Meghan's Father's Day post and that of Princess Kate, suggesting there's a hidden message for Archie and Lilibet, as reported by the Mirror. Body language expert Judi James analysed the differences in portrayal of fatherhood between Harry and the UK royals, remarking: "The basic display tone of this video, that is a narrative of clips of Harry being a father, is very different to the one the UK royals tend to use for their Father's Day poses." She further detailed: "With William and his children, Kate is very present, holding the camera. The children and often William tend to look into the camera to signal firstly inclusion of Kate but secondly their sense of having a public role too." Judi elaborated on Meghan's approach, adding: "Meghan's films suggest she is admiring her husband from a distance here. The sense of strong love is present, but it's also a reflective presence as though she's wanting to show how Harry reacts naturally with their children, almost when 'nobody is watching'. It's the kind of event many mothers experience when they look out of the window to watch their husband playing with the children and reflect on how good a father they are." She continued: "This is a whole cinematic-looking narrative, too. Unlike the rather basic filming of her pregnancy twerking, this is glossy and idealistic, using lighting and filming techniques to make it look like movie class. It often feels like you're watching the opening credits of a show like Succession where they mock up historic-looking home movies to bring the family up to the present day. "There's the technicolour technique at the start and end, which is similar to the Enid Blyton style colouring they once used on their Xmas cards. There's soft focus for the babies, then a more Vogue-style lighting and filming as Harry walks with his kids as they get older." Sharing her views on the Harry's portrayal amid his public spat with his family, Judi remarked: "Harry is shown being a tender, tactile and often playful dad who is very involved in teaching his children as they grow." A recurring motif throughout the video might be perceived as a nod to the royals while Harry campaigns for safeguarding and security for his offspring during their visits to Britain. "There is also a very strong message of freedom for the children and Harry here, too," Judi commented. "There is a lot of running and walking away from the camera to continue to reject a more public profile but it's the recurring theme of the bare feet too." Judi elaborated: "With both Harry and his children walking in bare feet, the symbolic reference is to a free life but also to a wealthy one, as walking barefoot on public streets and parks tends to be a dangerous pastime. On your own estate, though, it's clearly just fine." Elsewhere last week, Meghan shared footage of their delightful time at Disneyland for Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday celebration. This follows Harry and Meghan's recent decision to overhaul their PR team, significantly altering their internal communications strategy. They've now brought on board Method Communications, a firm that prides itself on being "disruptors" who "challenge the status quo".

Sick scammer stole my innocent Instagram photos & used them as ‘porn bait' – one question still haunts me
Sun reporter Katie Davis says the scammers had gone to extreme lengths to make the fake account using her images appear legit TWISTED SCAM Sick scammer stole my innocent Instagram photos & used them as 'porn bait' – one question still haunts me Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Sun reporter Katie Davis had a sudden influx of messages blowing up her phone it didn't seem like much of a cause for concern. But she quickly felt stomach-churning horror when she realised someone had stolen images from her Instagram page and uploaded them onto a fake porn site. 4 Sun reporter Katie Davis had her identity stolen 4 The fake Instagram account impersonating Katie Credit: Katie Davis 4 A bogus 'PocketStars' account was made on a Wix page Credit: Katie Davis A near identical Instagram account to her own had been set up by the scammers, using snaps taken from her private page, with a link to a bogus site for "uncensored" content. Its intention - to lure unsuspecting victims into handing over cash. Katie was left battling to get the account taken down and her images removed from the dodgy site. But what was worse was knowing that one of her own followers could have been part of the sick plot to steal her identity. Here she shares her ordeal and calls for social media companies to do more to protect users online... 'Hey, is this actually you?' I rolled my eyes as I went to open the Instagram message from a friend - assuming it would be some sort of joke picture. But before I could unlock my phone, it started buzzing uncontrollably as I was inundated with messages from my followers. The slight air of concern I felt turned into sheer horror as I stared down at the screenshots in my inbox. Fury really ignited within me when I opened the link to the sham subscription-based porn page - welcoming duped members to my "uncensored life" Katie Davis My photos and name had been cloned to create a second profile with a near identical handle - advertising a link to a fake adult content site. In a sick attempt to lure in my male followers, the Instagram page was labelled a "private backup account". Fury ignited within me when I opened the link to the sham subscription-based porn page - welcoming duped members to my "uncensored life". With two of my pictures taken from my private Instagram on public display, the warped page tried to entice followers with the promise of "naked and erotic" photos and videos. The goal, of course, was to get hold of card information to rinse the accounts of unsuspecting subscribers. Every word I scanned on the phony page made the lump in my throat a little bigger. To not only have my identity stolen but my body commodified as bait to try and dupe my followers churned my stomach. "I will be more accessible and share more of myself," the page read. "Subscribe and enjoy my uncensored photos and videos. "Get free access to all my photos and videos completely naked and erotic. "And get 1 month of free access if you subscribe today. "What are you waiting for?" Ironically, the page warned users not to "download, share or redistribute any content" or face legal action - likely to seem more authentic. In the UK, laws around impersonating someone online are complex. While simply making a fake profile with someone else's name or pictures might not always be illegal, using that profile to commit fraud, harass someone or cause harm could lead to criminal charges. Sharing or threatening to share private or sexual images and videos without a person's consent, often referred to as revenge porn, is also illegal. To bring about charges, reporting is crucial, but perpetrators can be hard to trace, often being located in other countries, and gathering evidence can also be challenging - meaning not all cases will lead to prosecutions. 'Red mist' Unsure of what to do next, I found my initial anger quickly turned to panic as my mind whirred with who might be seeing these profiles - family, friends, colleagues. I have never and will never share intimate photos of myself, and I certainly didn't want those close to me believing otherwise. What is more worrying in this day and age is the scammers' ability to weaponise AI to create fake - yet extremely convincing - images mimicking their victim. Luckily for me, my ordeal didn't sink to those depths as it predated the boom of AI into mainstream in 2023. Knowing the quickest way to try to get the fake Instagram profile and the imitation adult content page removed was to go straight to them, it became my overriding priority. But I hit an immediate pitfall. Naturally, the conniving scammer had blocked my actual Instagram account to stop me from being able to report the bogus page. Outraged followers assured me they had reported the account - but I needed all the help I could get. I shared a plea on my story requesting as many people as possible to flag the account impersonating me. Thankfully, friends, family and acquaintances alike were receptive - bar a few crude remarks. It took a couple of agonising days for both the Instagram account and Wix page to be removed - by which point I'd grown increasingly frustrated at explaining "no, that's not me and yes, please report it" Katie Davis Contacting Instagram myself to appeal for the page to be removed as quickly as possible was trickier, given I had no access to the account. A red mist hung over me as I filled out a form - sending over an image of my ID and a photo of it next to my face to prove it was me. I also reached out to PocketStars, the OnlyFans-style site that the imposter account posing as me appeared to be on. But they pointed out what I hadn't noticed: the faux page was on a Wix site - a website-building platform that allows users to create free domains - rather than the platform presented. A sympathetic member of their support team told me via email: "Someone has created a custom site that is intended to impersonate the visuals of PocketStars, presumably with the goal of scamming potential fans into providing their credit card details." The worker also notified Wix on my behalf - and urged me to do the same. It took a couple of agonising days for both the Instagram account and Wix page to be removed - by which point I'd grown increasingly frustrated at explaining "no, that's not me and yes, please report it". Who did this? What still taunts me four years later is the question of who did this. My account was private, and it repulses me to think one of my own followers could have been behind such a cruel and intrusive scam. It begs the question - should Instagram implement stricter rules to create accounts? A simple ID verification would do the trick. A spokesman from Meta, the parent company of Instagram, told The Sun they are "constantly looking for ways to improve our detection and enforcement". They added: "This is an adversarial space - bad actors are constantly changing the ways in which they violate our impersonation policies and evade the enforcement of this policy. "We welcome all feedback that can help us improve in detecting and removing impostor accounts." In a world where social media appears inescapable, it's high time more is done to protect users from needless and harmful impersonation.
