Entertainment Reporter Gil Mishali and Singer Odeya Azoulay Trade Barbs
Entertainment reporter Gil Mishali and singer Odeya Azoulay are engaged in an unprecedented public feud. The conflict escalated when Azoulay publicly called a report by Mishali "a lie." In response, Mishali posted a video of Azoulay singing one of her songs live without vocal processing, accompanied by a scathing caption. Mishali wrote, "And if you were wondering or happened to forget what it sounds like without auto-tune, the archive remembers! This is how Odeya sounded singing one of her hits." He added a provocative warning to his followers, "Warning! Listening to this performance may cause you severe ear bleeding."
The latest dispute stems from Mishali's report about a documentary being filmed on Azoulay's life, which the singer vehemently denied. Mishali's sharp retort is part of a prolonged period of tension between the two.
Mishali's Instagram post garnered support from outlets like "Israel Entertainment" and figures such as Sahar Taboch. However, Shiran Sendel criticized Mishali, stating, "The appropriate warning is: reading this post may cause you nausea and disgust from the author of the post. Happy to help."
Over the past two years, Mishali has published several controversial reports on Azoulay's career, including dramatic professional breakups within her circle, such as the dismissal of manager Or Luzan and the termination of her contract with choreographer Mor Hamami. Mishali also presented testimonies from Azoulay's work environment suggesting that "working with her is a nightmare," creating significant animosity between them prior to the current confrontation.
