The relationship between Roy Reinisch and contestant Lynn Alfie was accompanied by many criticisms from viewers of "Big Brother", which was mainly expressed in harsh reactions and lashing out across the network. Last Friday, charged emotions spilled over from virtual space to reality when the second ouster from the house was attacked by two men in Tel Aviv, he told his followers in a video posted to Instagram.

"I would love to share a very unfortunate and upsetting incident that just happened to me," Reinisch said. "I was on my way to my gym in central Tel Aviv, I stopped with my motorcycle at a red light. I had music on my helmet and didn't hear anything at first. Suddenly, I see two pedestrians passing in front of me at a crosswalk and their traffic lights change to red and they don't continue, don't advance, stand in front of my motorcycle and block me.

"And then I realize what two baboon cradles are cursing at me, 'You're a piece of zero! You're not a man, you're a shemale! What did you do to Lynn? What bits did you screw up Lynn' and more and more things that I will choose to censor. At first I was shocked, I said maybe if I ignored it they would leave me. I see that not only are they not leaving, they are coming closer to me and one of them is bringing his forehead closer to my helmet. I was just shocked. Where did the courage come from? Who are you? What are you getting closer to? Why do you express your opinion so violently? What are you cursing me? Even if you don't agree with something you saw on screen that someone did, there's a way to express your opinion."

Towards the end of his remarks, he turned directly to the guy who was acting aggressively. "I've experienced all the criticisms possible in the last three weeks. Such a way that someone approaches you violently? It doesn't work that way. You were saved because of good people who were there, that your day would become the worst day you ever had. I promise you."
