"I am miserable": Reality star wakes up unable to speak

Reality star May Hatuel shared a photo today (Wednesday) from a clinic after waking up this morning "unable to speak." She later added with humor that while her temporary medical condition might be "a bit nice" for those around her, the situation is quite different for her. In a story shared on her Instagram account, she wrote that she even diagnosed herself: "strep throat or some other rare disease, either way, I am miserable."

This comes amidst a complex personal period she is navigating following the announcement that she and her husband, Itay, have decided to divorce. In an interview given shortly after the announcement, she clarified that her participation in the show—where she was considered one of the most prominent and beloved figures—was not the sole reason for the separation, but rather part of a sequence of complex events that led to the decision.

As recalled, Hatuel participated in the reality show alongside her childhood best friend, Itay, a close connection that drew significant criticism from online audiences at the time. The pair was eliminated from the program in fifth place, and after filming concluded, their relationship gradually drifted apart.
