I remember Topaz from my time living in Israel and I have been following this story in the Israeli news, going back to his arrest. Reality TV is a red herring - Topaz was 62 and he couldn't get a job on TV. We are so used to demographics and the pursuit of youth that it would seem obvious if Israeli TV execs wanted to go younger. From the coverage, it seems he took it personally.
