"I had a social lynching against me": Gal Rubin goes on a strong attack
The reality star shares the difficulty of returning to routine and reveals that she is forced to fight on a particularly complex front to protect her daughter from bullying and boycotts.
Reintegrating into life after reality TV is never a simple matter, but for "Big Brother" participant Gal Rubin, the road back to routine reveals complex challenges, both on a personal level and as a mother. Rubin recently shared the harrowing experience she has been going through since leaving the filmed house, finding herself fighting on a painful front: protecting her daughter from bullying and boycotts.
Rubin uploaded a story revealing the harsh messages and recordings her daughter received. Among the cruel words that hurt the child was recorded: "You are one of the stinkiest, I hope you get into an accident on your scooter and burn in hell." Rubin explained that the matter is currently being handled and expressed solidarity with many parents who deal with similar phenomena. The cooperation and support she received from the public following the incident strengthened her sense of mission to highlight the painful issue of verbal violence and boycotts among teenagers.
When Rubin looks at the situation, she finds a connection between what her daughter experienced and the personal experience she herself went through in front of the cameras:
"It's funny that I have to deal with this as a mother; I think many mothers deal with this, and after everything I went through in the 'Big Brother' house, I receive many messages about such experiences within our society... I was there and there was a social lynching against me, and then we are surprised when all sorts of headlines come out about things happening with our youth."
These words hold up a sharp mirror to the norms of behavior in Israeli society.
Alongside the parental struggle, Rubin also shares the difficulties of re-adapting to a busy daily routine after a long disconnect from the outside world. When asked how it felt to leave the house, she replied with a smile mixed with realism:
"I am trying to return to the matrix; all we did in the 'Big Brother' house was think about what to have for lunch."
The transition from the sterile life inside the 'Big Brother' house, which revolves around a basic daily schedule, back to the heavy responsibilities of real life, is a process that takes time.
However, the bright spots and friendships that existed inside the house continue to accompany her outside as well. Rubin maintains a close connection with the friends with whom she shared experiences, and even shared that she invited Adir Barak, her close friend from the show, for a family Friday dinner together with her children. These connections provide a safety net and mutual support, and remind us that even from an intense experience, real, lifelong relationships can grow.
