The well-publicized exit from the closet of actor Nicki Goldstein continues to resonate, and "Big Brother" refugee Gili Cohen has a lot to say on the subject.
As you may recall, last week the network was in turmoil when the news of the actor Nicki Goldstein's coming out of the closet was published as part of a promotional article for the weekend news.
As part of it, Goldstein and his partner Eyal Shalom, who is also his best friend from childhood, sat down for a first conversation in front of the cameras, and revealed to Dana Weiss and millions of viewers the romantic relationship that had developed between them.
"My father, Erez, Ziv, Dudu, Paz, Doron, my dear childhood friends," wrote "Big Brother" Gili Cohen in a post he posted today (Sunday) to his Instagram and Facebook accounts.
"Hopefully the article about Nicki Goldstein did not put ideas in your head. Even if I decide one day to switch sides, there is no situation where one of you becomes my partner," he declared.

"I, unlike Nicky, have a limit to how much I can abuse in my family," he wrote, continuing to point out not-so-simple arrows of direct criticism of Goldstein. "Not enough of their dad getting divorced, not enough of their dad coming out of the closet. They still need to see, hear and understand that their dad, who used to play snooker with his best friend, still plays snooker with his friend only with 'stick', 'balls'. And other 'holes' ?? ", Cohen added, using vulgarly charged descriptions to express his apparent disgust at Goldstein's public exit from the closet.
"Suri, not at my school," he declared.
"With all due respect that one of you is doing this to me very much, you are my family," he addressed his friends.
"We're doing family outings, my kids are dying for you, our kids are friends, you're family - so I'd rather bring a 'foreign' man into my life, with a preference for a 'cruel tool', sting. In short, Nicky, you exaggerated!" Provoked a heated debate as many came out against Cohen's harsh words.
"Try to think how his children would feel if they read your post," a surfer wrote about Cohen's harsh words.
He replied: "The post is in their favor. That he will first think of his children, not me."
Another surfer was even more angry and wrote: "This time you exaggerated. It is really not acceptable what you wrote down. Let him do what he wants in his life. How easy it is to touch the keyboard, just be ashamed. Leave your words to yourself. Respect every person and less slander."
Many of the surfers also claimed that Cohen's words were homophobic, blunt and harsh, and that he should take into account the children of the two who will read them and will certainly also be exposed to harsh reactions from surfers and friends outside the network.
They further added that there is no room for such criticism and that every person has the right to choose how to live.
Megili Cohen responded: "I want to emphasize that I am not a homophobe, and anyone who has intelligence in their head understands this. I am not angry with Nicky, I did not go out against him, I did not curse. On the contrary. Well done to him for the courage. I just say it would have been better if "He would do it quietly, without burdening his children. I wrote mine as a scathing critique. I have nothing against him."
Nicki Goldstein's response could not be obtained by the time the article was published.
