An Israeli TV star with the improbably hilarious name of Dudu Topaz has been arrested on suspicion that he organized a series of attacks on his enemies in the TV industry. Three vicious incidents have been blamed on "The Ratings King" and his nefarious team of security men.
Supposedly furious that he was unable to secure a new TV deal, Topaz enlisted three henchmen to attack the CEO of the Keshet Broadcasting Network, an exec at Reshet Television, and a bigtime agent. Bones were broken, and eye sockets fractured. Topaz has been in trouble before, after being accused of sexually harassing an actress on his TV show.
So basically he's Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, and Bob Barker all rolled into one, with maybe a little Ari Emmanuel thrown in for good measure.
