Big Brother Star Arrested Amid Domestic Violence Allegations

A former "Big Brother" contestant, suspected of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, had his arrest extended until October 28. The complainant, a well-known fitness coach, was recently investigated under caution following the suspect's claims that she had been violent towards him. The two recently separated and share a child. The incident occurred on Friday evening in Holon, with the complaint filed the following day, leading to the 36-year-old suspect's arrest. His detention was initially extended until Monday and now further until Wednesday due to perceived dangerousness, despite conflicting accounts of the alleged assault.

During a confrontation held on Sunday, the suspect denied causing a fracture to his ex-girlfriend's hand, which she claimed was a result of his violence. He stated he went to her home after she contacted him about their son, only to find the child was fine, accusing her of setting a trap and then trying to grab his phone to check his messages. "You set a red riding hood trap for me," he reportedly said, "and now you're accusing me of violence? You snatched my phone from my hand, you wanted to snoop through my phone to see who I'm corresponding with. It's impossible that I caused you to break your hand, you fell and not because of me. I didn't hurt anyone and never will."

Investigators are currently leaning towards the possibility that the hand fracture resulted from a fall, based on the confrontation and a medical report from the hospital. This has led police to believe there are discrepancies in the complainant's account. However, the suspect remains in custody due to her allegation of ongoing abuse. The complainant posted a picture of her broken hand on social media after the incident, writing, "I am currently with a broken hand, and unfortunately, there are things I still cannot and am not ready to detail." In a later post, she added, "How blind I was. How much I believed, justified, and kept silent."

Further investigation is examining statements made by the complainant upon police arrival at the scene. Neighbors had called the police after the incident. According to information obtained by Walla!, the complainant did not initially report pain or injury to her left hand, later explaining to investigators that the pain appeared afterward when her hand swelled and required medical attention. Her complaint of ongoing violence is also being investigated.
