Channel 14 Star Itamar Fleischman Opens Up About TV Regrets and Mental Health
Channel 14 panelist Itamar Fleischman opens up in a candid interview on Reshet 13, discussing his television career, mental health struggles, and past psychiatric hospitalization.
Itamar Fleischman, one of the most prominent panelists on Channel 14's hit show "The Patriots," recently gave a deeply personal and revealing interview on the competing network, Reshet 13. In a preview teaser for the upcoming conversation with journalist Omri Asenheim, Fleischman is heard making remarkably candid admissions about his television appearances and a past mental health crisis.
In one of the most striking moments of the preview, Asenheim asks Fleischman: "Are there times when you come back from a broadcast of 'The Patriots' and feel disgusted with yourself?" The panelist does not hesitate and responds simply: "Yes." This short and definitive answer is already generating widespread curiosity, particularly given his central role on a program known for its sharp political stance and fiery on-air clashes.
The teaser also sheds light on a much more personal and painful side of his life. Fleischman speaks about the period when he was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility, describing a harrowing moment that preceded it: "I sat on a bench on the street and cried for about three hours straight."
Known for his direct style and polarizing remarks, Fleischman's new interview promises to present a far more complex portrait behind the confident persona viewers usually see on screen, revealing the personal toll hidden beneath heated studio debates.
