Actress and singer Liraz Charhi was dramatically unmasked as the Onion on the popular Israeli reality competition show "The Masked Singer" during Saturday night's episode. Charhi received the fewest audience votes, leading to her elimination and the dissolution of the "Salad Trio" team on the show. Her unmasking surprised the panel, as Charhi has been developing an international music career in recent years, releasing albums in Persian and performing globally, while in Israel she was known primarily as a talented actress.
The clues provided for the Onion character pointed directly to Charhi's diverse career. One clue referenced her first single, "Od Tzohorayim" (Around Noon), which contains the lyric "to search for the magic." A poster for the movie "A Star Is Born" alluded to her leading role in the film "Sof Ha'Olam Sh'mala" (The End of the World Left), whose theme song was sung by "A Star Is Born" winner Ninet Tayeb. A "Batman" poster referenced her voice acting as Didi in "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker," and a "Frida" movie poster highlighted her 2017 role as Frida Kahlo in a Habima Theatre production.
Further clues included a reference to mascara, linking to her single "Risim" (Eyelashes), and a statement about "dancing through life," connecting to her participation in the theater play "Bravo" and the third season of "Dancing with the Stars." Behind-the-scenes clues featured a roaring lion, symbolizing the "Roaring Lion" war against Iran, relevant to Charhi's Iranian heritage. A Fesitgal CD and a bowl of ice water pointed to her role as the "Ice Queen" in the 2006 "Heroes of the Lost Kingdom" Fesitgal. Finally, a broken heart necklace symbolized her recent divorce from husband Tom Avni after 16 years of marriage.
