Big Brother Star Guy Eitan Caught Assaulting Contractor Over Disputed 2.5 Million Shekel Payment
Guy Eitan, a social media influencer and former contestant on the reality show Big Brother, was filmed violently attacking a contractor whom he accused of defrauding him of 2.5 million shekels. The footage, aired on the program "Tzinor" and widely circulated on social media, shows a physical confrontation between Eitan and the contractor. Eitan claimed the contractor took the large sum but failed to deliver the agreed services, and after six months of unsuccessful attempts to recover his money, tensions escalated during a meeting when the contractor allegedly insulted Eitan's father, triggering the violent outburst.
In response to the video, Eitan admitted to losing control, stating, "My behavior was not appropriate or the most measured, but given my situation, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone." The 33-year-old businessman from Tel Aviv was a prominent participant in the latest season of Big Brother but left the show after 35 days, saying he felt he had "had enough." Since then, he has continued working as a content creator online.
This incident adds to a growing trend of public figures from the digital content world becoming involved in violent business disputes. Recently, another social media star was injured in a violent episode in central Tel Aviv, highlighting the increasing prevalence of such conflicts. It remains unclear whether a police complaint has been filed or what legal consequences Eitan might face. Details about the contract or the services the contractor was supposed to provide have not been disclosed.
