Abraham Aklom told his Instagram followers on Tuesday evening that the police case opened after a complaint by his ex-wife, Sapir Borgil, has been closed. In a video message to his tens of thousands of followers, he said that after “a year of pain, uncertainty and damage to my good name,” he had received word that “the case against me is closed.”
Aklom said he had spent the past year going through a period he would not wish on anyone, with “hard moments” and “sleepless nights,” while people judged him before knowing the facts. He thanked those who supported him and ended by saying, “I leave my account to the Creator and to the justice system.” In the video, he also rejected Borgil’s allegations directly, saying, “Sapir, I did not threaten you, I did not act violently toward you, and certainly I did not rape you. You tried to ruin my name, you tried to send me to prison, all for a hunger for money.”
Borgil responded shortly afterward on her own Instagram account. She said the case was not closed because he was found innocent, but because there was not enough evidence. “Today I was told the case will not go to court. It was closed for lack of evidence, not for lack of innocence,” she wrote. She added that in recent years she had seen how hard it is for a woman who chooses to speak up, and that many people quickly become “investigators, judges and jurors” without knowing the facts.
She said this was not the ending she had imagined, but it was a small moment in which she felt her truth had not been erased. “Lack of evidence does not mean lack of guilt, and that is my victory,” she wrote. The two met on Big Brother in 2023, fell in love and married about a year after the show. Last year Borgil filed a police complaint accusing Aklom of violence, sexual harassment and alleged rape, which led to his questioning, a restraining order and his removal from their shared apartment in Beersheba. Aklom has denied the accusations throughout and has said the complaint was an attempt to extort him.
