Guy Pines has many shares in the transformation of Yael Shelbyia into a particularly hot item. He was the one who revealed her "relationship" with Omar Adam about a year and a half ago, and pumped her until she was denied and forgotten. He has since pampered her with many articles, accompanying her in campaigns and giving her plenty of air time.

On the other hand, all of her recent interviews for the Pines program include a general knowledge quiz, an issue for which Levia does not excel. It started with her saying to the cameras "I don't know who the prime minister is at the moment", and went on to more questions she couldn't answer - excerpts that repeatedly aired in every article about her, to those who missed the previous episodes. "But she's very pretty," Pines said after the latest article.

"I was at the launch of a jewelry company, and it turns out that 20 minutes earlier they had been indicted against Bibi," explains Shelvia. "I wasn't on the phone, I didn't see. I didn't want to talk politics. When they asked me, 'Do you know who the Prime Minister is at the moment?', I was completely confused. I never expected it to turn out that way.

"A week later, the Pines team for PR photography came to the series, and I can't refuse, because that's my job. The truth that I answered most of the questions was true, but they took two or three wrong answers and put them in. The media puts in just what it wants. I said, 'I'll stream with it,' and people responded and laughed and wanted more of it.

"Slowly it made me laugh less. It became a kind of hell on me. I'm a educated person, and I have a maturity in history. Anyone who really knows me knows I'm smart. Part of my job is to interview They ask me what Bibi's dog is called, and they asked me this question.

"I'm a person like everyone else, and sometimes the gossip gets me out of yellow. For example, last week's article at Pines was supposed to be a conversation about the recruits, and it came out yellow. "It's all right. But it hurt me a lot, and it hurt me a lot, because it's really not true. I believe that over time and with the next projects I will do - people will see for themselves.

Shelbia enlisted in the IDF a little after Passover, and this month began a role in Karia - a detection and sorting NCO in the Air Force. The distance from the base to her rented apartment on Little Rothschild Avenue, and in the military, she was assured that she could go home any day, because of being an active artist.

When I spoke to her stepmother two weeks before recruitment, she told me that the experience was going to be a bit like an annual trip. "I was in Bnei Akiva, I'm used to it," she said. When I remind her of that conversation, a moment after she finished recruiting and returned from the seamstress to confine the new Air Force uniform - she smiles awkwardly. Two and a half weeks in the army was enough for her to realize that it was a little different in the world after all than she had known to this day.

"The hardest thing in the meantime was keeping watches in the recruits," she says. "I was knocked out during the hardest hours. I didn't sleep all night and it was really cold. The commanders were tough. Tough but cute. And there was no breaking the distance.

Billionaire boyfriend Brandon Corf (34), who was confined to his home in Los Angeles, has not seen more than two months. Throughout the days of recruiting, she received special approval for 20-minute conversations with him. "In the morning, after the morning prayers, I would talk to him, because that was the only time we could, because of the time difference.

"His brother made aliyah, enlisted in Magellan and is considered a lone soldier, so it's not new to Brandon. He already knows the system. It's still strange to him that his company is in the military. (Bursts into laughter).

The military's Talent tracks have been publicly criticized, against the backdrop of Noa Kirl's service and her military dancers.

"From what I see from the sidelines, Noa does an amazing job with the military. She shows up almost every day and comes to hospitality programs and presents the army with a positive eye.

"The military has power, and through it you can give an example and show that everyone gives of themselves, especially people with careers and work. It's amazing. The number of recruits has dropped significantly in recent years, why? To present the army with a positive eye?

"Noa does the most meaningful service that suits her. What would she do now in another position? Clerk? Where would she have used her potential?"

What did you think of her new commercial for yes?

"I flew up in levels. A man builds himself before the age of 18, which is not something obvious. The military understood this and learned to accept it very well in my eyes. What is beautiful about the army is that within the framework, you end up like everyone else."

You always knew you wanted to enlist?

"I grew up in a religious environment, where most girls choose national service. My mother actually was one of the religious girls who did an army. I have a really nice picture of her with a uniform. She used to say to me, 'Do what you want.' It is harder for me in National Service and I prefer to enlist.

"I give up a lot. Because of the recruits I couldn't go for fashion photography. My profession is very dynamic. Call me, 'Are you ready to fly another two days to London?'. If I answer no - I'm not replaced. Today I can no longer immediately say 'Yes.' like in the old days.

"After the military, I will no longer be considered a 'young model', so the next few years are my time to break out and work. But I am an Israeli, and I was born into this reality, taking everything into account. I really hope that the military understands today that modeling is a profession for everything Outstanding, or singer, or any other career. "

Shelbia's career, which at the age of 16 began to be considered an international list of the "100 Most Beautiful Women in the World", was hijacked by Rex because of the Corona. A campaign for a major makeup company in Milan, at € 50,000, was canceled in March, two days before Lithuania boarded the plane, because Italy had entered a general closure. In April, three clothing and cosmetics campaigns, which she was supposed to photograph in London, were canceled for £ 70,000 each. In aggregate, this is an economic damage of more than a million shekels.

"It broke my heart," she says with disappointment. "It's really difficult, because modeling has periods that I haven't been working for months, and then suddenly there's a lot of work. And that was exactly that period for me, so it's really sad. The world is losing money?

"Both of my parents stopped working. My father worked at the Paste, which manufactures packaging and stickers, and was fired. Only recently was he informed that he was returning to work, he was going through a medical committee and really insisting on it. My mother, who is an apartment and school librarian, spends To the USSR and returned now. "

What happened to you in the period leading up to the recruitment?

"I filmed a lot of auditions on the phone and sent to all kinds of places. It was very strange. At the moment it is still impossible to fly, and the economy is not in a position to just release productions. Every production with photographs is much more meticulous, companies save where possible and think twice what is and is not. She believes it will take time for the modeling world to come back in. Companies are already starting to crash, which is sad.

"I've been a Renoir Presenter for a second year, they are my home. The fashion industry here has evolved greatly in terms of quality and clothing, and this is our time to support Israeli businesses."

Stage was scheduled to enlist in April. She first postponed the recruitment for a few months because of work. At the beginning of the Corona crisis, she spent more time in the country with her partner Brandon Corf, until the world sky began to close. On March 15, Corf rented a plane and flew with its phases to his Los Angeles estate. Along the way, she flooded Instagram with pictures of a pampering meal in the air, plenty of room for legs and lots of social remoteness from the world.

"People told me, like, 'Wow, she's flying in a private jet,' and yes, they said all kinds of things about me. But if it wasn't an emergency, we would never do that. Who do everyday, just like that to make money, it's really dangerous today.

"Also think, Brandon was right. Three or four days after we got there, the US declared isolation for anyone entering the country, in a scary complex. And he has dogs at home and business to look after them. Walla, if he hadn't rented a plane, then he would have stuck. "

What did you do these days in Los Angeles?

"I was home with him, we didn't go outside and we didn't do too much. After a week, I thought, why not join the original date? After all, there is no work. I could stay in AL, sit in the pool, do nothing, enjoy life, wait for the corona to pass, and then See what about the army. But I realized it would do me good to come back. "

How was the return to Israel?

"It was crazy. I went back on an economic connection flight, through New York. The whole airport was wearing gloves and masks. People were walking away from each other, and if you accidentally approached someone, he yelled at you! Get away! Get away.

"I sat on the plane, I didn't take off the mask for a minute. 16 hours with a mask. Every second I changed gloves. Going to the bathroom was a nightmare. The plane separated us so there would be empty seats between each passenger. I came home in total shock. That was the moment I really realized what was happening in the world. ".

After landing, she introduced herself to a two-week isolation in her Rothschild apartment. "It's about taking care of everything, and I'm not a cook or anything, come on. I'm improvising. Chicken breast, vegetables in the oven. In life, I never got to spend so much time alone and busy myself, not thinking what to do and the next job. I actually had fun, This felt.

"My grandmother, who lives in Bnei Brak with my aunt, sent me cooked food, and I sent her baked cakes. She and my aunt saw people walking the streets and not following instructions, and realized that there was going to be a mess in the city. Because they had a house in Safed, they drove there just before Who closed the town. When they relaxed, they came home. "

Do you miss Brandon?

"Yes, but we talk a lot on pacetime. We haven't seen two in two months. I can't fly to him, and he can't fly to me. She has been a female soldier with me whose whole family lives in Italy, and she can't go back to her house. The line, and now really stuck in the country, and it's hard for her, everyone and her personal story.

"Throughout the period, Brandon was home and only went out to meet a small circle of friends, who were also at home. Think that on Passover his entire family was supposed to be arriving in the country, and it was just canceled.

"In the meantime, we're making plans ahead. We decided that the next time he came, it would be for a really long time, probably a few months. That's something that reassures us. They say flights will resume on June 15, so I think he'll just board the first flight to Israel. Be optimistic. "

How did he go through the Corona period?

"In Los Angeles the situation is much worse than in the country. Brandon works from home, so he doesn't feel the restrictions like others."

Shelvia was born in Nahariya in 2001, to Ofer (53) and Ofra (52), a national religious family. She has three brothers and a sister - Michael (22), Maayan (21), Itamar (17) and Assaf (16). "My late grandparents lived in Nahariya, and I lived there most of my life. Think of seven people in a three-room house, a minute from the sea. Sometimes, before the Sabbath, I would walk on the boardwalk and sit on the sea. There is a lot of religious feeling there.

"My three years in Bnei Akiva built me, and that's a significant part of my life. I went on trips, did volunteer work in hospitals. But at some point I grew up.

"I did not have a role model. Jordan Harel is one who managed her naharah, but it was not my ambitions. I will tell you the truth - I wanted to be a first-grader because I loved teaching. Maybe it will happen, I do not know What will I do after modeling?

"My grades could have been much better, because I studied at the regular studio. For two years, they didn't consider me and lowered me from the score for each subtraction. Only in the last year did they start to consider. But all for the best, I invested and actually matured. I'm really nerdy, but happy About that, because nerds come a long way. Even nerdy models. "

As expected, the transition between the studio and the campaigns was not smooth. "I would come back to school after three days of absence, and things happen. Companies go through things and they tell me, 'You're not with us anymore,' 'You made your choices.'

"I had a hard time accepting it. I cried a lot. I debated what to choose. Some said, 'This industry will betray you and you won't be there forever. You better stay in Nahariya.'

"At the beginning of 12th grade, I realized I had to give 100 percent. I rented an apartment in Tel Aviv, and moved. Before maturity I would return to Nahariya for two days, plow, do the exam, and return to my apartment. It was a process I slowly came to terms with, and in the end I realized that everyone was choosing their own direction. At first I felt as if everyone in Nahariya was away from me, but then I realized that I was the one who had changed.

"With all my heart I tell you, I have never imagined anything that has happened to me in the last three years. I have never flown before modeling. I would go to Tel Aviv twice a year - once to my grandmother in Bnei Brak and once to Luna Park. Omri, my agent, who discovered me at 15, He's the one who pushed me and believed in me, and all of a sudden things happened.Today we fully share, everyone brings their own stuff, and together we build each other.It is sometimes difficult for people to understand why agent and model are such a special relationship, but we went crazy things together.

"Over time, I found out how the industry works, who wants me to succeed and who doesn't. I really learned that there are people who will lift you up, and some who will be sucked down with them. I was exposed to people with power and money who tried to use it. Welcome to God, I dealt with it. Everyone needs to learn how Protect and protect herself and how to say no, and how to hold herself and be strong. "

In the past year, she experienced harassment on a set of photographs abroad. "I talked about this with a few people," she says in a loud voice. "It shook me for a while and it affected me. I kind of lost faith in people.

"I've had some difficult three months, and to this day I haven't completely overcome it. But fortunately, there were people around me who supported me and hugged, and everything was fine. I had conversations with a coworker and a psychologist.

"I told Brandon, too, and it shocked him. It's not easy for anyone to hear such a thing, especially about your spouse. But it's important not to keep my heart and be honest. We talked like mature people, and he was there for me.

"Since I only walk with tear gas and lie down, trying not to walk around alone. I have been through a process. And that can happen to anyone, women and men. "

She met businessman Brandon Corf a year ago when she was filming a campaign for Kylie Jenner cosmetics in Los Angeles. She just finished a brief relationship with model Barak Shamir, and after three months of friendship with Corf and his courtship, they geared up. "Our relationship is really built," she says with glittering eyes.

Along the way, she also learned about his family connection. Corf is the grandson of Sumner Redstone, the owner of the Viacom media empire, which includes channels such as CBS, Showtime Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and MTV, and Paramount Studios.

"Brandon is a man of home, loves to be home, watch movies, be with his dogs. I love going out, walking around, seeing places - so we balance each other. But we went through a lot together, he is a special person, with values ​​and wisdom, funny and a true friend.He is really my partner.

"When he's in the country, or when I'm with him in the AL, we have a routine. Get up in the morning, have breakfast together, have coffee, I go to workout, and he starts working on the computer. Then we go out and walk. We like to do hiking on the hills of El. Islands.

"Listen, he also got the one I enlisted. It's not obvious. He could have tried to convince me otherwise, but realized I wanted it and just said, 'Shi, do whatever you want.' I even went with him to buy equipment for the army before I came back to Israel. "We bought all kinds of things, really organized a portfolio together for my recruits."

You've probably heard things that say about your relationship.

"I heard, and it was very difficult at first. In general, I was afraid to get in touch, because I was most afraid of the reactions. I am younger, he is older than me. Different countries. It is not something that is legitimate. In the past, when I saw couples in age differences, I didn't look at it well.

"But I'm not an ordinary 18-year-old girl. I don't care about an ordinary 18-year-old girl. The fact that I go around the world also changes the story. He's Jewish, he has family in Israel, he studied at the Yeshiva. We have common roots. Well, a real bond has been established between us, and we're the best friends there. Anyone want to come and doubt?

"At first, I was very scared, until somebody said to me, 'Say, are you real? An honorable, mature person who wants you well. Not some kid who only interests him for reasons. Finally someone comes to tell you' I love you 'and wants you to Well, you go through it because you're afraid people will say something? '

"Today, a year later, you don't understand how many people who see us together say, 'How cute you are.' It is heart-warming. After you lower your anti, you understand that we are good together and that we are right.

"Brandon is not a kid. He also looks at him and says, 'What does he need it for?' But in the end, people realized that what was happening here was real. Whoever didn't understand or didn't want to understand - that's his choice.

"I know his family really well, I spent holidays with them, and he has met my family dozens of times. There is nothing in this connection about what others are talking about. I don't see him living in AL and speaking another language, and not seeing the age difference, and nothing Just consider a normal and totally legitimate couple.

"I am most in tune with it in the world and sorry for every person I have ever judged him for an age difference or a long-distance partner. It depends very much on the partner, and my partner is perfect and the most loyal and the person of love. I see the love with which he breeds his dogs And she knows that's how his mind works. "

She said the move from the studio to the glitzy and sleazy fashion industry has not changed it from the inside. "I love God. Blessed be God, my faith is built in the strongest possible way since I started this work.

"As a child, I asked for bedtime requests I didn't think would come true, all kinds of innocent prayers for children. So the Lord kept me amazing, accompanied me every step of the way, and debated with him. And today the things I asked for are in front of my eyes.

"Faith holds me to the ground. People say to me, 'You're different.' At first I thought it was because I came from the North, but in my opinion it's also very much because of religion. I take things differently. I see people in the industry, celebrities who are good to them, whoever they are, And their nose is in the sky. People have lost the north. I understand there is beyond that. Gd did it for you, helped you and gave strength. It's better to say that you are nothing and you are empty, it is healthier for the soul.

"I keep Saturday. No TV and no phone. I read books, keep myself busy. Do sports and enjoy the quiet. In the country I sometimes eat in non-kosher restaurants, but order kosher things and make sure slaughter is kosher. Abroad I do not eat meat, but lots of fish And salads. If you can go there for a kosher restaurant, then I prefer.

"My first flight abroad was at the age of 16. I traveled with an Israeli photographer for production in Italy. We were in the restaurant, everyone was eating shrimp and pork, and I was in shock. I only ate tomatoes. Three days like that. Over time, I started eating more things besides vegetables and salads.

"I had one fall. By accident, really by mistake, me and Brandon ordered food in a restaurant, and there was bacon in one of the salads. I ate and ate, and suddenly I realized that I tasted bacon. I wanted to throw up. Such, what the fuck. It was a trauma. This salad, even without the bacon.

"Over time I became less religious. Come on, it's not like I dress like a religious person either. My mom never said to me 'just wear skirts', although she obviously would prefer. Say, my sister goes to the floor with tights and a skirt. Although I grew up in the same room, bed by bed, each one went to a different life, she keeps touching, praying in the morning, guiding, Arabic, and I start dating with boys, and suddenly Tel Aviv and modeling and everything.

"I remember the day I wore pants for the first time, in eighth grade. There was a birthday party for a friend and I came in with jeans. Look at me with a crooked eye. I came home crying, changed into a skirt and didn't wear pants for almost six months. Most of my friends were religious, and I was I have to put up with the fact that I can't go with jeans. I didn't understand why they didn't understand me.

"Until I said 'this is me', that's how comfortable and good for me, that's how I like, and come to terms with it. That day I felt almost like getting out of the closet. I can be who I really am, who do what she believes in, and I'm good enough with pants too ".

And how did your companies react?

"Whoever really wanted to be my friend and fought for me and cared and understood me - she is my true friend, and I have some, who have stayed away from her, and I am in love with them. They are always there for me."

***

Sometimes, too, she does not digest how the little girl from Harel's studio in Nahariya has become one of the most sought-after faces in the fashion world within two years. During this time, she met twice with Leo Messi, with whom she campaigned for cell phones in Barcelona ("He is a very, very nice person with feet on the ground"), and once with Neymar in Paris ("He invited me and Eden Pines to his birthday party, So we went. There were all the footballers I don't know. Football doesn't interest me. " But when he tried to start her on Instagram, she graciously flaunted it.

With Kylie Jenner, she sat in a pub in Los Angeles. "Brandon is a good friend of Cory, the partner of Kris (the Kardashian family's mother), so he knows the family and everything. It's funny, because I got to know Brandon as I flew to film Kylie's campaign. She's really cute."

You met Kim Kardashian?

"No, but I did a campaign for her cosmetics company. I'm sick of them all there. The world is so small and meets a lot of people. Sometimes I go to the AL and see models and all kinds of celebrities, which is wow, cool and everything, but at the end of them all. "I don't like anyone anymore, Kylie. I can't get over it. The next day I saw Lily Collins (the daughter of Phil Collins), a famous actress I really love, and I said round."

***

She is now also gearing up for a acting career. She makes her debut in the "Clouds" media series Clouds, which returns to the screen on Sunday in new episodes (Sunday, 3:30 p.m., Tin Nick channel for Yes viewers and STINGTV). "The cast is very young, and for most of us it's a first job, or the biggest thing we did on TV. So everybody was excited and wanted it to come out amazing. We're really friends now. Alona Saer, Tal Grushka, Omar Hazan, Naya Binstock. We became a bunch."

This is a period drama about the two years prior to the establishment of the state and the youth of the Palmach service. "There are values ​​that there are not many series," she says. "When I read the script, I was surprised that it was a youth series. I grew up on 'the island' and 'the eighth', we would sit all the brothers and see it together again and again. "

What is it like to play?

"Really different from modeling. Like, I also learned to let go of a lot of things. Say, in a campaign shoot, it is important to me what every little thing will look like, and a model's movements are very artificial. On TV, I learned to let go, no matter what my hair looks and what I look like. Camera and not silent.

"I had to bring a lot of yourself to the character. I had to bring emotion. After two scenes where weeping and joking had to come, I would come home and feel it had an effect on me. Such a kind of mental heaviness. I would say, 'Wow, I got something out of myself today.'

"I study acting with Sigal Ginzburg, a private tutor who works with most of the industry. She took me as her project, from scratch. All this is just something you have experienced yourself, you really have to work for yourself.

"It changed me. I realized that when I set myself a goal, I can reach it. I don't think a year ago I believed I could play like that in front of cameras and everything."

What are your dreams?

"I would like to continue to work, travel around the world, make a big cover in a magazine abroad. I'd like to find my own niche, build a project that's mine. Realize myself in terms of the industry, and also develop my acting career, which really appeals to me. I'm also learning English now, you know, you can never know. I mostly try to prepare the area for big things to come later. "
