As part of the promotion of his new album, Ben El Tabori was interviewed by the program “Olapan Shishi” that was broadcast last night. As part of the interview, Ben El shared with the journalist Itai Segal about his difficult years.
“I received a dizzying success at the age of 24. I had a child. I didn’t know how to deal with it. And your father on the other side with Judith, and the communication, it was difficult,” Tabori shared.
About the diagnoses he received over the years and the accompanying difficulties, he said: “I’m not an easy person to deal with. I try to be a good person as much as I can, but I have my kinks and sometimes unfortunately it comes out too. I’m diagnosed with all kinds of things. You know what Is it manic depression? You get a screen, you don’t think. Post-traumatic stress disorder is also diagnosed.”
About the way he was informed about the breakup of the duo with Static, he said: “I found out through Pines or Israel Entertainment, I don’t even remember. I was shocked. Then I wrote to one of the managers if it was true and he said yes, and we will support you with whatever you need.” To the question of how a person with manic depression deals with such a moment, Tabori replied: “What can I do but cry?”.
About the moment when private tapes he sent to his ex-partner and mother of his son, Ortal Amr, were published, Tabori tearfully told: “Harsh. I sat here on the couch, opened all the windows and wanted to commit suicide.” He continued and said: “Then Danny (his partner until a few months ago) called me and said she was coming. She took a flight. This is the only person who was just by my side.” When asked what hurt in this moment, he replied: “That everyone abandoned. Everyone.”
Tabori continued and shared a secret he had been hiding for years: “I experienced sexual harassment when I was a child.” By people close to you? Segal asked. “It doesn’t really matter.” what age were you “8”, replied Tabori. “I only told Lenore (Abergil), she swore to me that she wouldn’t tell anyone. I did a Shabbat with them, we walked on Shabbat with a cart down the street and Oron was in front, and then I told her. I wanted to know how she dealt with it. She was the only one who understood me. I I’ll tell you the truth, she’s the only one who understood me. It’s not something you’re comfortable with. I’ve been raped, but in your soul it’s making you cry. I think it’s only at 25 that I told Ortel, after Tou was born.”

“I was afraid they would say I was gay,” Tabori continued and shared. “At the age of 8, I didn’t know it was forbidden. In retrospect, I regret, regret that I was born.” Is this person alive? Segal asked. “Yes”. Has this ever been discussed between you? “No”. He is watching the article now, he knows that…? “May he be healthy,” he ruled.
