Avi Shoshan, a contestant on "Survivor," podcaster, and personality on Channel 14, has requested personal security following a barrage of hate messages and direct threats against his children's lives. The unusual request comes after Shoshan faced intense public criticism, particularly after a recent confrontation with fellow contestant Lir Oz on the show. During the episode aired Saturday, Shoshan told Oz to "shut up" and called her "stupid," to which Oz responded in tears, calling his behavior "the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me" and questioning if he was a "leader."
The confrontation also involved Shoshan's demands regarding task planning and Shabbat observance for contestant Shimon Vaknin, with Shoshan telling Oz not to interfere. The incident sparked outrage on social media, with many users sending Shoshan personal messages containing curses and insults, calling him "trash" and attacking his conduct towards Oz. Some messages also included offensive remarks about his family.
In addition to the personal attacks, Shoshan received direct threats to his children's lives, prompting his decision to seek personal security. This is not the first controversy surrounding Shoshan's participation in "Survivor." He was also temporarily suspended from his role as a panelist on Channel 14's "HaPatriots" program due to his appearance on the rival Reshet 13 network's reality show.
