Former Israeli television entertainer Dudu Topaz, 62, has committed suicide.

This was his second attempt to take his life.

Topaz was found dead in the shower of his cell at the Nitzan prison and paramedics were unable to revive him.

He was known as a TV personality and always brought in the high ratings, but he was also known as a controversial figure.

Dudu was arrested earlier this year after being suspected of trying to arrange attacks on media execs after they canceled his show. Topaz later admitted to the charges and blamed the three TV execs for getting him off the air.

In fact, one of them, a television producer, was found beaten badly outside her home and had to be rushed to the hospital with broken bones in her face earlier this year.

Ouch!

Apparently, it all started about five years ago when he was dropped from his primetime slot. Then he pitched a new comeback show to the three execs last year and they turned him down. That's when he arranged to have them beaten up.

But this past May he was finally arrested and charged with conspiracy, assault and extortion. And after so much time of stress and in jail, he finally took his own life.

Sad. And twisted.

      I'd kill myself if I were an Israeli citizen too. poor guy.



    13. 13

      as an Israeli, i have watched Dudu for years and although what he did was beyond words he was a huge part of Israeli pop culture and this should not have been the way to go..and for all the anti israel haters you can go F*ck yourself!



    14. 14

      my prayers go out to his family. his issues were probably a lot deeper than just losing his life work. may he rest in peace

      Re: Niceandspice

      God forbid we have an opinion. Israel is a bully and if you read alternate media sources besides rupert murdoch-like owned media outlets, you'd know what they're doing. So instead of telling me to go fuck myself, think for yourself. Question authority. fucking sheep.

      Re: NYbiatch – Is this post about Israel? I don't think so. It's about a media personality that happens to be from Israel. If you want to preach your views then take your drivel to a political forum. *** Just reading comments on this thread and some others today, I realize how low this site has become. It now caters to the lowest common denominator.

      Re: NYbiatch – HO, and that goes to all the anti-Semitic comments, so the 1,000nd of Iraqis citizens that the US government & friends killed for oil are nothing? The sheep is the person beliving that all the Israelis are after arab blood without even noticing how hypocrite this is. By the way, as an Israeli I'm against what's happening in Gaza and at the same breath what the US is doing in the middle east. still I do not say that all US citizen should die. I belive that people are good regardless to what their government is doing at their names and from thier money. ho, and fuck you.

      Re: batsybats – Anti-zionism is not the same thing as anti-semitism.

      Re: ||Jenna|| – They die in retalitory attacks. Israel targets specific strategic targets in response to what has been done to them. It's not their fault that the Palistinians and Lebonese build schools and day care centres on top of or next to weapons facilities etc. Their governments do that to create sympathy from suckers like you. They don't even care about their own people. Palistinians and Lebonese target civilians. They're the lowest form of scum. It's a joke that you even try to justify them as real people.

      Re: ||Jenna|| – Yes theres a difference between anti-zionism and anti semitism, however what previous posters said was anti semitic 'one less jew and all jews follow this example'. Thats anti- semeitic plain and simple.

      Re: meredith_grey – People don't care about the facts, i doubt anyone here even knows that last month a house blew up in South Lebanon due to the rockets and weapons it was storing and that there was a huge arms cache underneath the village- and that the people attacked the UNIFIL soldiers that came to investigate. Apprently Israel is evil for wanting to protect its citizens- which includes Jews, christians, Druze Bedouins Bahi'i etc

      Dudu topaz was a very troubled man- what he did was wrong and I don't think he could live with the bad press. He did what he did in the belief he wouldn't be found out and when he was he couldn't take it.



    28. 28

      poor dewd. i dont have a problem agenst jews. what did they ever do to you?!?! rest in hevan… :)



    29. 29

      Wow. An article about dudu topaz turning into an anti-israeli argument. Typical.

      In other news, the TV exec he had beat up was a friend's aunt, and I hope she will get better to the way she was before the attack.
      Dudu was a psycho!

      Seems like a lot of fuckin Nazis are addicted to your site, nice people you have as fans Perez. I'm not Jewish but have a lot of great Jewish friends………knowing that you have so many ignorant assholes devoted to your site is more of a reason to delete it from my email than the fact that you constantly promote Heidi and Spencer!
