Actor Bar Brimer Warns Fans About Impersonator Harassing Women Online
Israeli actor Bar Brimer issued a public warning on July 1, 2026, alerting his 121,000 Instagram followers about an impersonator contacting women under his name. In a rare statement posted to his Instagram story, Brimer explained that over the past two days, an anonymous individual has been sending disturbing messages and making calls pretending to be him. He emphasized that these messages are not from him and urged anyone receiving such communications to block and report the impersonator to prevent the situation from escalating.
Brimer also shared the impersonator's phone number to assist his followers in identifying and reporting the fraudulent contact. He highlighted the importance of vigilance, noting that due to his busy schedule filled with intense rehearsals for "Dancing with the Stars," it is highly unlikely he would personally reach out to fans in this manner. The actor's warning serves as a caution to his audience to avoid engaging with the impersonator and to help stop the harassment.
