Erez Drigues, the lead actor and co-creator of the Kan public broadcaster’s dramedy “Rehearsals,” has been accused of repeated instances of sexual harassment.
Kan announced last week that “Rehearsals” will go ahead with a second season, probably without Drigues.
Shortly after an in-depth profile of Drigues appeared in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper in January, Ofir Sgerski wrote a Facebook post describing the “sleazy” text messages that Drigues had sent her a few years back.
Then, last Wednesday, feminist news website Politically Koret ran a story (Hebrew) about Drigues, including interviews with four women who came forward describing instances of his sexual misconduct.
