After a Surprise Eviction, Tal Tito Responds to Eyal Golan's Lawsuit

Tal Tito, one of the standout contestants on Israel’s Big Brother and long seen as a finalist, was unexpectedly evicted by viewers yesterday. Outside the house, she now faces both a romance she found inside the show and a serious legal battle, a defamation lawsuit filed by singer Eyal Golan.

The lawsuit was prompted by old posts Tito wrote on X, formerly Twitter, which resurfaced while she was still in the house. Golan did not wait for her exit and filed a libel suit, claiming she falsely portrayed him as a pedophile and rapist. In the filing, he said the posts were “false and defamatory” and intended to harm him and cast him in a negative light.

Among the posts cited in the lawsuit, Tito wrote: “Eyal Golan pedophile. Consent, no consent, rape, no rape, first and foremost he and his father are pedophiles. And yes, sex with minors handled by welfare is sexual exploitation that also led to rape.” After apparently learning about the case, Tito joked on Sunday, “How did I not delete tweets before שמע ישראל,” posting the remark on X on June 14, 2026.

Her elimination came after a separate online controversy involving her close bond with fellow contestant Eliran and his wife Noya’s request that they stop physical contact. In an interview with Reshet 13’s social team, Tito said she did not realize Noya meant her, saying, “I was shocked,” and that from that moment she kept her distance and only greeted him from afar. She rejected the idea that the touching was excessive, saying, “Ew! No.”

Tito also said the housemate who irritated her most was Gal Rubin, whom she described as unpredictable and sharply changing moods. Still, she said she respects Rubin as a mother and acknowledged they are both complicated people. Asked about her future with Tamir, whom she met in the house, Tito said clearly she sees a relationship ahead, calling him, “my husband, God willing.” When asked who she wants to win, she named Eliran or herself.
