Avivit Bar Zohar does not give up, when it comes to her good name, she goes all the way. People tend to think of public figures, or celebrities, what happens to be “celebs”, there are no emotions .. or their blood is allowed .. and you can attack them “free free” because it is “funny”. So this is it, no!
Adv. Yoni Giorno and Avivit Bar Zohar
Supreme Court Justice Rivlin weaves the phrase “freedom of expression is not freedom of contempt.” This is one of the most useful sentences in defamation lawsuits, one short sentence that says a great deal.
Every person is entitled to his good name, to his privacy, people work all their lives so hard to “buy” a good name, after all people die when they are as naked as on the day they are born, the person takes nothing with him to the grave, other than his good name.
On 01.09.2019 at 08:00 (back to school) When most parents are on the road in the car with the children on the way to the first day of school, the morning program of broadcaster Shai Goldstein and Leah Lev opens with vicious teasing against Avivit Bar Zohar, why?!. Because it’s possible .. because it’s funny Mr. Goldstein, so what does he care about Bar Zohar’s feelings .. she’s a celeb and her idiot.
Shai Goldstein on the talk talked about Avivit Bar Zohar, while he moans in a shocking and disgusting way, speaks in a sickeningly disgusting way, while moaning and slow sexy and disgusting talk .. and all when he talks about Avivit, describes her how she dances on a pole, and claims 3 times she dances like a prostitute ! Shaking her ass and organs like a prostitute and more …
Avivit did not give up and filed a defamation and sexual harassment lawsuit through attorney Yoni Giorno.
At the center of the indictment were the same brutal and abusive statements made, to say the least, by the broadcasters of Radio 103 FM’s morning program, who knew how to call Avivit Bar-Zohar, dancing like a prostitute, sighing and moaning in a manner that mimicked a sexual act for many minutes. , Clearly and distinctly referring to the plaintiff, describe how the plaintiff moves her genitals in front of the camera – and even say “yikes”, as well as humiliate in public, repeat several times, while the two dealt with the plaintiff, Leah knew how to kindle the fire and giggle, and even end things, She knew how to say with intent to harm the plaintiff – “We made a brothel and it’s time to stop.” As if all of this were not enough .. At the end of the item, Goldstein adds a warning call to the audience of parents who are listening: “Parents have removed your children from a spring from Bar Zohar … because it is a pity that it will spoil your children …”.
What’s amazing is that exactly a year before that repulsive broadcast of Goldstein and Leah Lev, it was the broadcaster Natan Zehavi who in his radio show called her Leah Lev: “whore” and that her response was: “……. Natan Zehavi called me” whore “I was not pious … but there are things that are terribly intentional and things that should simply not be said,” said Leah Lev herself when things were directed at her, but apparently to say it against Avivit Bar-Zohar, it is Yes, it is allowed. “The one who rejects Momo rejects.” And not only that, in a newspaper article, Leah Lev said that she was recommended to sue him.
Before filing the lawsuit of Avivit Bar-Zohar through Adv. Giorno, we discovered that the morning program broadcast on Radio 103 FM, according to TGI surveys of the second authority – for years has been crowned the leading station in Israel in listening percentages, and has a wide and high-quality audience. That it is the first of September the day of return to schools.
As part of the mediation process that the court sent us, unfortunately, the broadcaster and the radio were not willing to reach a compromise acceptable to Bar Zohar, so we went back to court.
The Honorable Judge Avi Satyu of the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court stated that this was indeed defamation, and a person as well known as he may be, does not say that his blood was in vain.
It should also be noted that following Shai Goldstein’s previous abusive remarks, the radio management decided to terminate his employment agreement and even dropped this morning program. So thanks to Bar Zohar, Mr. Goldstein will no longer be able to harm people.
The court ruled that Shai Goldstein and Radio Without a Break will pay Avivit Bar Zohar jointly and severally NIS 30,000 in compensation.
There is no book that could have ruled on a much higher amount, however, the mere determination that it was defamation, and the mere imposition of a fine of tens of thousands of shekels certainly expresses a statement that the court dislikes the actions of the defendants.
This is an important ruling, in part because it states that the blood of celebrities is not the nomad, and satire programs are not sacred cows, and not everything is allowed in the name of satire, there is a limit to satire as well, the court ruled.
