The model spoke openly about his duties and the difficulties he encountered, but many chose to mock him. • Among the mockers was Hanoch Daum, who was widely criticized for his remarks.

Get the juice out of him: Like many of his industry peers, the Corona plague has taken a heavy toll on Michael Lewis, who has struggled to make a living for months and is in dire financial straits, as he himself revealed in a painful Instagram post.

At times when it is not possible to do much beyond prolonged sitting at home, Lewis often shares with his followers what is going on in his life and uploads videos and posts to the web. When it comes to Lewis (32), almost every video or post immediately gets a flood of reactions from surfers, with the highlight being of course the bottle-opening video with his penis uploaded about a year ago, a video the public refuses to forget, positive and negative.

Last Friday, as mentioned, Lewis decided to share with his many followers on Instagram the not-so-simple financial difficulties he ran into and spoke openly about the debts he had accumulated. "I want to share with you something that really hurt me this morning, I woke up with a feeling of suffocation," he began. "The accountant called me yesterday and told me to prepare NIS 30,000 to pay for taxes for 2018. I started crying and told him I had nowhere to pay it right now because I was not working," Lewis revealed in tears.

"How is a self-employed person supposed to survive this period? It does not make sense," he asked, adding: "All my life I only give and now the state does not give me anything. The accountant told me 'Michael, if you do not pay it is a violation of the law and you will go to jail.' I said to him, "You know what? At least in prison they won't make me bills and I will have something to eat."

Following the great noise made by the videos, Lewis was interviewed on the subject in the programs of Oren Weingenfeld and Niv Raskin and revealed that he is in debt of about NIS 47,000 due to the corona crisis.

Lewis also said that the debts accumulated, among other things, after his partner in the juice stand he opened stole money from him. "In 2018 I had to complete taxes and I forgot about it. My history is hard - my partner stole from me, and I covered all the debts out of my own pocket. The state does not let us work, does not stop taxes, restricts us in regulations and does not give us the money we deserve to run "How are you supposed to live like this?"

Lewis did reveal his difficulties in great pain, but despite the brave sharing and despite hundreds of thousands sharing his pain, many were not impressed, and in recent days the network has been filled with dozens of venomous and mocking reactions against him.

"And do not forget the child of life is not always candy, sometimes you are in a slump and sometimes you open with a cork," commented a surfer. "I saw Michael Lewis' moving monologue, he said he's all his life just 'done and did and did' for the country but she spits on it. Ask me you? What did he 'do'? The minimum civic duty of serving or volunteering for the IDF is He did not, there are very severely disabled people who serve, for VIP survival he could have left, his protest was a joke. "

"Michael Lewis is a type G celeb - it's a phrase with so many layers," mocks another surfer. "The roses are red, a rabbit loves a rabbit, I really loathe Michael Lewis," another surfer rhymed. And this is not even the height of contempt, as the response suggests: "The problem with Michael Lewis in my eyes: he is desperate to be taken seriously, then two days pass and again he takes off his shirt and / or pants to grab a headline, then again cries that he is not taken seriously."

One response that managed to make headlines in a special way was that of Hanoch Daum who posted a Facebook post last night (Monday) in which he teased Lewis and wrote: "Just for general information, what did you make a living from before, opening bottles with the Z **?".

This time, the reactions to the mocking post were divided. While quite a few surfers continued to mock Michael, many also claimed that Daum exaggerated and that the post was petty and written in bad taste. Comments like "I'm disappointed with your post", "disgusting post" or "disgusting post" have garnered hundreds of likes.

Among the many responses (more than 1,700, as of this writing) that have accumulated in Daum's post:

"I held someone more mature and smart than you ... You fell here. This is a sexy, wishful and inhuman remark at a time like this. The sensitivity from you onwards. I held more than you. You completely lost me."

"He ran a juice stand in Rothschild, got into debt and rode the corona wave. A lazy man who would rather whine in every possible channel of communication than work and earn his bread."

"Someone pick up the glove and open a fund for Michael !! If he's in jail how will we get videos like this every few months ???".

Lewis himself did not remain obligated to Daum and wrote in response: "A person who works with you in the same field opens the heart and shares that hurts him in the pocket and heart. Cancel your performances so that's how you react? .

In parallel with Daum's post and in response to the wave of disparaging reactions he experienced last week, Lewis posted another long post last night, in which he wrote, among other things: "You do not know what's happening to me in private, that's why I am exposed and reveal who I am. I give and always. No matter how much I share, I know I will not be able to caress and excite everyone, because I am sensitive and have learned not to be just another person. I share my feelings and always feel. Everything I have ever done was from the heart and I do not want anyone to delay. And I remember, like Michael, without interests and without ego and yes, it turned out that I took some puppies and fell apart like Lego. I exposed weaknesses and showed everyone that I'm having a hard time too, and people who do not even know me spit in my mouth. If they come from above me. "
