Autumn Starshko breaks the silence:
Last Friday, police officers who were called to Tchernichovsky Street in Tel Aviv after a loud quarrel between spouses, found the model and actress Satyu Starshko, in a state of emotional turmoil after a difficult argument with her actor partner Amit Gil.
A video circulated online from body cameras carried by police officers on their bodies revealed that an argument developed between Streshko (28) and police officers that quickly escalated to particularly high tones, with Streshko using blatant language and refusing to be taken in for questioning.
"Do you know why we're here?"
The policemen are heard asking Streshko, when she answers angrily: "Because there was noise, because there were shouts? Everything is fine. You must not touch me, you must not follow me. I am a model and actress in the State of Israel who was nominated for the Ophir Prize ... Take your hands off me."
Eventually, Streshko and her partner were put in a mobile and taken for questioning.
Yesterday (Sunday), as mentioned, the video was exposed on the net and quickly went viral, garnering thousands of comments.
Following the storm he created, Streshko decided to respond directly to her arrest for the first time, and posted a post to her Instagram today (Monday).

"I want to open up and apologize for the words I said to the cops in the heat of the moment when I am in a storm of emotions," she wrote.
"All in all, I had a big fight with my partner, a loud argument, which ended even before the police arrived. When the police officer and the policewoman arrived, I immediately felt attacked and asked Spice to explain and talk," she clarified.
"I even said several times that I would be summoned for questioning and I would come, and I added that I was a familiar figure and there was no fear that I would disappear," she added, detailing the behavior of the police officers that she said led to her aggressive response.
"My partner who returned to the scene also asked the policemen to leave me and said that we did not hit each other, but the policeman, immediately and without asking questions, acted violently towards him even though he did not resist, forcibly pushed him aside, handcuffed him unnecessarily and put him in the car.
"Restraint of a familiar figure in the hands and feet is not necessary, constitutes the use of excessive force and is intended to humiliate," she wrote angrily.
"I did not want to end up in the emergency room with bruises and blue marks all over my body. The meeting with the police could have ended differently, but I encountered opacity and a reluctance to listen and help, and I was attacked with anxiety.
"There can be no question that they are supposed to protect us in the end they attack us when they abuse their power and do not exercise due judgment. I was just trying to defend myself and against whom? I feel humiliated, hurt and sad that this is the situation in my country. I had a great time with my partner. "

Responses to the loaded post were divided.
"I love you, it really did not come to you," her friend and "Big Brother" graduate Shani Goldstein wrote to her, and others strengthened her hands and expressed sorrow at what they called a traumatic experience.
On the other hand, other surfers were outraged that Streshko hinted that she should have been treated differently due to her being a familiar figure and angrily slapped her for not being different from any other citizen in Israel or entitled to preferential treatment.
