Podcast host and Channel 14 panelist Avi Shushan revealed that actress Emmanuelle Hori will detail a series of sexual assaults she experienced from age 4 until filming the reality show "Survivor." Hori, who is participating with Shushan in the current "Survivor" season, decided to speak out after memories resurfaced during filming.
In a post on his Instagram account, Shushan shared that Hori alleges abuse by a famous director, a well-known businessman and public figure who served as a minister and ambassador, and describes a local network that traffics women in financial distress to wealthy individuals. Hori also discusses her struggles as a single mother, the severe violence she endured from her daughter Royal's father before his murder when Royal was nine, her daughter's decade-long school bullying, and how plastic surgery impacted her acting career.
Hori chose not to name her abusers to protect their families. Shushan quoted her as saying, "If this were to be published, the State of Israel would tremble. Emmanuelle Hori, a hero." Hori's testimony is particularly striking given her recent limited personal exposure.
Shushan himself is currently a subject of public discussion due to his controversial participation in "Survivor," where he was recently eliminated. His time on the island was marked by public confrontations, including a harsh exchange with Lir Oz, whom he called "the country's bitch." On Wednesday, Shi Hay commented on Shushan's elimination, stating he was glad because he "never liked him."
Hori's brave testimony joins a series of difficult revelations from the entertainment industry in recent years, pointing to troubling patterns of exploiting power imbalances and a culture of silence. Despite increased awareness since the #MeToo movement, these cases highlight the long and complex path toward creating a safe and protected work environment in the performing arts.
