Controversies

Güven got angry when TNT reporter Tolga Aslan asked him a question while leaving a place in 2011, and the dialogue between the two was discussed on social media at the time.
On 12 June 2020, Güven's former girlfriend Deniz Bulutsuz claimed that he had beaten and tortured her. The resulting forensic report included the following: bruising in and around her left eye due to her head hitting the wall sideways, bruising and glass cuts on the inside of her arm, numerous bruises in the hip area, bruising on her left knee due to a fall down the stairs, and a slightly hazy appearance in the eye. Thereupon, a lawsuit was filed against Güven, requesting up to 13.5 years in prison, and the violent words Güven had uttered to her following a previous fight with Bulutsuz were also submitted as evidence to the case file.
