Loyal to the attitude of a thief who steals an exemption, and who stings crooks - blessed, Ofira Assig and Eyal Berkovich decided to criticize Simon Leviev and earn ratings and a storm on his back.
Experience shows that everyone who mixed with that Leviev ended up with the opposite, but not all of us - they thought.
Leviev is not Leviev.
He was born as Shimon Hayut, and became famous in the world as the face of the ugly Israeli, thanks to a film on Netflix that exposed his exploits as a great charlatan, an eccentric type and a clown, who sows a mess everywhere.
He is called "The Tinder Scam", and it seems that he has gotten used to the title and is now making the most of it.
arrived ready.
Simon Leviev and his lawyer at Ofira and Berkovich,
The other day, in Keshet's studio, the guy presented himself as a legitimate businessman, who ignores politics and demands a change in public opinion towards him.
He was accompanied by his lawyer Eli Okon, who turned out to be as strange a caricature as Leviev himself, and both of them together tried to fend off the onslaught of Ofira and Berkovich, who tried to turn a corner on Leviev and use his arrival for the purposes of a television drama.
In order to simulate some kind of journalistic significance, they prepared "difficult questions" for him, which they shouted loudly.
"The public wants to know, how did you make the money? Are you a crook or a genius? Are you a liar? Does the publicity serve you? Where is the money? If you are innocent why did you come with a lawyer?
Why aren't you suing Netflix?
Say, do girls still want you?". He didn't answer anything, and the televised troll lasted for more than fifteen minutes without any purpose.
Interview of cartoons.
Ofira and Berkowitz,
As expected, the Tinder scammer outwitted them, lied, fabricated facts, and avoided any question, accusation, or evidence;
And meanwhile, Ofira and Barko just kept yelling at him, in a desperate and toothless effort to snap Leviev out of his stoic composure.
Those who watched might conclude that Leviev, as he said, had already paid his debt to society, and that the women he slandered were liars, and that he did not even sit in prison (twice!) for the offenses documented in the film.
"I was the one who invited him to the program. We were in full-time negotiations," clarified Essig Levrkovic, when he criticized Leviev's pursuit of exposure and publicity. When it was over, there was no doubt that they did not achieve anything from this unnecessary interview. They did not extract a headline, they did not confront him With lies, they did not harm his image and did not challenge his success.
Moreover, they did not break the ratings charts (only 8.3%) nor did they achieve exclusivity.
Everything we heard from Leviev yesterday was exactly, and even less, than what he said two weeks ago in an interview with Gideon Oko that was broadcast on Beshet 12, also on Friday evening.
In a show that airs an hour before Ofira and Berkovich.
