Police have conducted a confrontation between a detained "Big Brother" reality show contestant and his girlfriend as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged domestic violence. The girlfriend, who posted a picture of a broken hand after the contestant's arrest, claiming she had been "blind," was questioned under caution on suspicion of throwing a glass at him. According to police findings, officers initially responded to the couple's apartment on Friday after an incident, but the complainant stated she had fallen and the police left. She later filed a complaint on Saturday, alleging he had assaulted her and recounting additional incidents. During her own cautioned questioning, she explained her initial omission to the responding officers about the assault and her broken hand, stating she only mentioned pain and injury. She later learned her hand was broken after it swelled and required medical attention.
During the confrontation, both parties maintained their accounts. The girlfriend reiterated her claim of assault, while the contestant alleged she grabbed his phone, ran, and fell, causing her injury. He also claimed she threw a glass at him, leading to her cautioned questioning. The 36-year-old suspect was arrested at their Holon apartment on Sunday morning, following the initial report of the assault on Friday. A court extended his detention for an additional three days on Tuesday. His lawyers stated he has no prior criminal record and is a law-abiding citizen caught in a false complaint, expressing confidence in the police investigation and noting the court's limited detention extension. The girlfriend, in an Instagram post, thanked supporters for their messages, expressing shock at how others could see what she couldn't for years.
