Big Brother Alum Criticized for Crop Top Outfit at Western Wall
Former Big Brother star Tirtza Cohen faced severe online criticism after visiting the Western Wall in a cropped jacket alongside her partner, Hapoel Tel Aviv player Doron Leidner.
Ahead of the heated derby match, former "Big Brother" contestant Tirtza Cohen visited the Western Wall alongside her partner, Hapoel Tel Aviv player Doron Leidner, to participate in the traditional Elul Selichot prayers. However, alongside supportive comments about their relationship, the post quickly turned into a battleground of sharp criticism over her choice of outfit at the holy site: a cropped jacket that left her midriff exposed.
Followers and social media users were far from indifferent to the look, flooding the photos with angry comments alleging a lack of respect. "I didn't get the point of the jacket?! As if you thought that if the top is closed, the bottom can be open and it won't be considered exposed?!" wrote one user. "And I'm not even religious, yes, but you're in a place like that - dress up!". Additional users joined the criticism, writing: "Perfect, no doubt, but you don't go to the Western Wall with a crop top", as well as "You are in a holy place, at least respect it and arrive modestly".
It should be noted that her family owns an apartment in the heart of the Old City, where she even lived in the past, meaning she is well-acquainted with the codes and acceptable attire in this area. Despite the criticism, amid dozens of comments dealing with the question of modesty, there were also those who chose to take the event in a more sporting direction, as a fan of Leidner's team humorously concluded: "Just bring home the win in the derby, despite the crop top".
