Avri Gilad admits: "I sinned"

In depth

Avri Gilad woke up to find half of his face paralyzed, and he was diagnosed with Bell's palsy. He published a video in which he explained that he hoped everything would align and continued to host his program alongside Yair Sharki on Channel 12.

The day after the disclosure, Michal Anski, who had previously been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, responded and told Gilad: "You are brave and you are a hero." The treating physician rejected Gilad's explanation for the paralysis and raised another possibility.

Six days after the disclosure, Gilad published a personal post in which he wrote "I sinned in fearing the future, I neglected the moment" and addressed the difficulty of accepting his new appearance and the signs of aging.
