ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Nine women tricked into thinking they were reality TV show contestants and lured into an Istanbul villa were rescued by Turkish military police after two months confinement, a police spokesman said Thursday. Cameras in the villa filmed the women 24-hours a day, providing a live stream of images for Internet users who had paid to access the footage, the spokesman said. The women, all from Turkey, according to the Turkish press, had answered an advert seeking contestants for a "Big Brother"-style television show. They passed an audition and selection process before entering the house. "The women's parents called the police after they didn't hear anything from them. The military police went to investigate and heard the women screaming from inside," the spokesman said, adding the raid took place Monday. Police detained three men and prosecutors are investigating, he said. According to Turkish media, the women had signed a contract agreeing they would have no contact with their families and would face a fine of 50,000 Turkish lira if they left early. Source
i dont feel sorry for them. maybe these people can get an education and make a real living instead of this reality show rubbish.
^ i'll have to agree with you for once. the girls have to start using their brains about these things...
I agreed that these women deserved it because the only thing they probably thinking at the time were money and fame; not their own safety. Then again, I do understand that when life gets tough, people will throw themselves at everything just to survive. I am sure we all see it in the movie/drama where if one person get into the showbiz and earn big money; s/he can take care of the entire family. Anyway, not sure if that is the case here but I guess we shall find out later when the investigation is done.
