The popular reality show "The Masked Singer" on Keshet 12 continues to captivate audiences with wild guesses and fan theories. After Liam Golan was recently suspected of hiding inside the Tomato costume, comedian Shalom Michaelashvili has found himself at the center of speculation as viewers and panelists alike try to uncover the identity behind the Donkey.

Supermodel and show host Bar Refaeli jokingly floated Michaelashvili's name as a prime suspect during a recent gathering. The comedian, who shares a close friendship with Refaeli, quickly took to social media to dismiss the rumor with his trademark humor, sharing a video of their encounter where he playfully scolded her: "I've been cursing you since yesterday, everyone thinks I'm the Donkey."

Fueling the speculation even further was panelist Shahar Hasson, Michaelashvili's close friend and former castmate from the comedy trio Ma Kshar. Hasson insisted during a previous episode that the Donkey's distinct body language and posture point directly to Michaelashvili. Despite his friends' convincing theories, the comedian remains tight-lipped and denies any involvement in the hit musical show.
