Şimşek decided to suspend Özlem Şanver for 4 months due to allegations of violence.

It was also reported in the media that the court gave a 2-month restraining order against Şimşek, against whom Şanver filed a complaint, and that this period was extended for another 2 months. While announcing that he resigned from his position as a manager in CHP after images of physical violence emerged, Şimşek said, "Since such a situation has arisen and I have ongoing cases, I am resigning from the Central Executive Board membership until these cases are concluded." Şimşek denied the allegations that he used violence against Özlem Şanver in the footage.
