"Come Eat With Me", Kan 11's satirical and successful food show, which is considered a cult series, has generated quite a few headlines this season. Shelly Ebenstein, who is currently participating in the final round of the season, has been criticized for her conduct in the episodes that have aired so far, both from the other participants of the show and from viewers who commented on social media.
As a defensive measure in the face of the crossfire and with interesting timing after she burst into tears in the episode that aired yesterday (Monday) after the criticism directed at her by participant Avinoam Netanel, she recently published a post and a clarification video in which she denied the claims directed at her of idleness and arrogance.

"Good morning, where do you start? Here I am on my way to work, to the full-time job I have, to bust my ass, to edit videos for clients that I shot on very long and arduous shooting days because I work for my money," Shelly clarified in the video in an Instagram column. "But of course you don't realize that I was edited tendentiously to fit the template they put me in. They just interrupted the whole stage of me creating content for businesses and just left it saying 'if I fall then I have my parents to help me.' I hope all the new followers here understand that I'm busting my ass to fulfill myself."
Ebenstein did not settle for just a video she uploaded to Instagram, and also wrote in the show's Facebook group, where she repeated the explanation that she makes a living on her own, again claimed that it was edited in a tendentious manner, but also added regret. "I was very excited at the first meal and probably from the stress came out a few sentences that I didn't even remember saying and that I regret," she wrote.
"I don't have a problem. I understood very well the slot I walked into. They took it all the way," she told Israel Hayom. "I knew this was what would happen. I know what TV shows are, and I know what it means to adapt the narrative to a person. I understood from the first episode that they radicalized my character."

What responses have you received?
"They wrote that I never stop talking about mom and dad's money, that I live on my parents' money and that at that age it's pathetic and that I'm arrogant and arrogant and spoiled. The sentence that came back a lot was that they understood that I came to 'come' in order to get to 'Big Brother' and that language is not 'Big Brother'.
The production of "Come Eat With Me" said in response: "As is customary in every TV show and as the participants of the program know in advance, hours of filming are prepared for a short episode, so of course not all the raw materials filmed are included in the final product."
