Ruffa-Yilmaz, the war continues

Chika-Minute, the Ruffa-Yilmaz war got brutal as both parties confronted the issues surrounding them. First up was Ruffa Gutierrez's confession about her first marriage in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a previous interview Yilmaz revealed that their marriage was a fraud because he discovered that Ruffa was allegedly married to a Richard Daloia before their nuptials last May 25, 2003. Over a phone interview on StartalkRuffa confessed that she did marry a man named Richard Daloia. She said that it was an impulsive decision she made as young woman frantically in love, “When you’re young you do crazy things, you make mistakes but as you grow older you learn from these mistakes.” She also said that Yilmaz was well aware of her previous marriage; she was already on the first-step of filing for divorce before she married Yilmaz, but she only followed it up last June 1, 2007. At the other camp, Yilmaz denied Ruffa’s statement saying that he had no prior knowledge of her marriage and that he felt betrayed by what has happened. “I’m not sure if I’m the second husband, I have not checked before '99.” (Yilmaz and Ruffa met, May 2000 at The Cannes Film Festival.) He also added that he will be suing Ruffa for this dishonesty. “Even if I don’t sue her, the Turkish government will, because she signed the papers saying that she wasn’t married before she married me.” What will happen to this issue?
