Groom Targeted With Humiliating Signs on Wedding Day
On the morning of his wedding to Shahar Chernes, reality TV personality Tom Haimov was the target of a smear campaign, with humiliating signs bearing his image and offensive text distributed across roads throughout Israel. The signs, which appeared early Tuesday, included accusations that Haimov "sleeps with men and does drugs" and "do they owe you money too?"
The incident comes amid a period of alleged harassment and threats that Haimov claims to have been enduring. He recently shared on the "Chasifa" program with Haim Etgar (Channel 12) that he, his fiancée, and his parents have been subjected to calls at odd hours, harassment, and the spread of rumors intended to damage his reputation and relationship.
Haimov has suggested that these alleged smear campaigns stem from business disputes that have escalated into personal revenge. While the exact connection between these past alleged disputes and the wedding day signs remains unclear, the timing of the distribution of the signs on such a significant personal day has drawn attention.
Haimov, 39, and Chernes, 28, were set to marry on Tuesday, with the signs appearing just hours before the ceremony was scheduled to take place.
