"I didn't imagine this would happen": Natalie Dadon recounts the incident at the cafe

Natalie Dadon, a model and social activist, had an unpleasant experience yesterday, when, according to her, she was kicked out of a cafe in Tel Aviv during a photo shoot, when the business owner refused to let her in. Following the incident, she spoke this morning (Monday) with Ben Caspit Vinon Magal on radio 103FM and shared: "It made my heart shrink."

Natalie Dadon was not allowed into a cafe: "The owner of the place called me Farha and closed the door in my face"

"I didn't imagine that such a situation would happen," said the model. "We passed by a cafe, me and a model, my friend from abroad who was shocked by the situation. We came to buy coffee and encountered a door slam combined with a compliment like 'flower'. I went in, I asked him 'what was your name?' He told me 'Farha, you are Farha'. Then I got the tones. I said to him, 'Why do you say such a thing?', and he just took me out of the place."

"I was very upset," she shared. "We continued with the day of filming, and after we took a few more frames he drove to us with his bicycle, there were many witnesses to the incident. It was important for him to point out that he chooses who to put in his coffee, and he chooses not to serve coffee to people like me. You heard it all in the video. This is the situation, the experience The most charming I experienced yesterday."

"This is a misanthrope," Magal responded. Dadon continued: "I went in in the evening to read recommendations, comments, about the cafe. I saw that he had children, I preferred not to bring up his name." On this, Caspit said that the name of the business has already been published on social networks.

"It was a moment for me," said Dadon, "I'm really prepared, a lot of people get into me, I take responsibility for my choices, but definitely yesterday it was one of the moments that made my heart shrink, I even had tears in my eyes when I encountered these slanders and the public humiliation, It doesn't belong to the haters. There was the whole team, the photographer, the owner of the brand, and there were a few others who sat down at the tables."

Dadon stated that the incident happened during a photo shoot for the "Twenty Six" fashion brand, and shared: "I'm not going to lie, I'm on a roller coaster. One moment I'm getting lots of hugs and love and the next I'm seeing fights. If I thought I had the skin of an elephant, then no, I'm not there yet. But again, these will be my challenges."

To the reaction of the owner of the cafe, who replied: "It's all a fake. She called me Zero," Dadon said: "My God, I'm a witness that the word 'zero' never came out of my mouth, nor any curse. I don't act like that. Everyone was there, nothing came out of my mouth A bad word towards him.

On the bill to allow business owners to decide who will enter their business, the model said: "When it came up, I think it was a fundamental mistake, to bring up such a law, as if there were no more important things to take care of. What we do, what they do to us, is identity politics. Okay , I'm right-wing, I admit, advocating a liberal Jewish state. So I support everything the government presents, offers, guys, let's divide it by issues. If that person treats me like that, can any person treat me like that?"
