Actor, comedian, and music producer Nancy Brandes was a guest on the podcast of journalist Hadar Miller on Arutz 7 and spoke about the dramatic moment when his wife decided to divorce him. "This bacterium did not manage to kill me, but it killed my marriage. It is sad because I was married and happy for 20 years with a young woman, perhaps too young," said Nancy Brandes.

Continuing his remarks, the actor shared that he was disappointed by his wife, who decided to divorce him following a deterioration in his health condition. "I have two amazing children: my son is a hero in the Gaza Strip, and my daughter is still in the army today and works as a model.

This bacterium, maybe because she is a convert, I don't know, it's a different soul... The moment she saw my condition, she pulled the plug. She decided that she did not want to be with this man. When I was in intensive care, that was when she decided to divorce."
