Channel 14 Panelist Admits Disgust With Himself After Controversial Remarks
Itamar Fleishman, a panelist on Channel 14's "The Patriots" program, revealed in an interview on Channel 13's "Asanaheim" that he sometimes feels disgusted with himself following controversial statements made on air. "There are days when you come home from a broadcast of 'The Patriots' and you are disgusted with yourself?" host Omri Asanaheim asked. Fleishman affirmed, stating, "Yes, of course. Obviously, what do you mean? No question. Your hands are constantly in the mud. There's no escaping the mud hitting you, and you cause it. Of course, there are days like that. I come home, sit on the balcony for a bit, and feel very down on myself. These are days when I make sure to look at what's written online because I deserve it. I need to learn from it. It happens quite often."
Fleishman previously appeared on the television program "Sorry About That" in an episode focusing on individuals with mental illness. During that show, he shared his experiences with a psychotic episode and a diagnosis of various psychiatric conditions. He detailed his struggles with mental illness, difficult hospitalizations in psychiatric wards, medication, and how his love for his children helped him avoid suicide.
Currently, Fleishman serves as a regular panelist on "The Patriots" and occasionally fills in as a host, primarily on Thursdays.
