The well-known singer arrested last night (Saturday) on suspicion of violent offenses against his partner responds this evening for the first time to the affair, after the court decided to release him to house arrest. The singer's representatives denied the allegations of violence and stated that this is an argument between the couple. In a statement on his behalf, it was said: "We thank you for all the support and immense love at this time. This is a private argument between the two partners. We completely deny any claims and fabrications of assault or violence. We trust the court that decided to release him immediately, and expect the media and the public to respect its decision." This morning, his partner responded for the first time to the events. In a post she published on her Instagram page, she wrote: "I had a very turbulent night. Mentally, I am simply shattered." She also referred to the claim that she tried to run over the singer and denied it: "Let's clarify one thing – I didn't run over anyone. The accusation is completely baseless." The affair was first revealed yesterday on N12, when it was published that the police arrested the singer on suspicion of violent offenses against his partner. He was taken for questioning under warning at the Rishon LeZion station following a complaint filed against him, and a scheduled performance of his was canceled. In footage from the incident, the singer is seen confronting his partner on the street and telling her: "Take your things and get out of the house – is that what you wanted?!" Later, he accused her of trying to run him over, stood in front of her car and said: "Come on, run me over again." A source familiar with the details told N12 that the arrest came following at least one incident brought to the investigators' attention, and that the truthfulness of the complaint's version was examined alongside the possibility that the singer was involved in more than one act of violence. At this stage, the singer's identity cannot be published.
