Leonardo DiCrapio’s girlfriend, Bar Rafeli is not winning any friends in her home country.
The model said earlier this week that she would never take any famous friends to Israel after the paparazzi there hounded her and Leo during their recent visit.
Now, Rafaeli is thumbing her nose at all the Israelis - male and female - that have to be part of the country’s mandatory military draft.
“I don’t regret not having been drafted . . .because I made out big,” she told an Israeli paper this week. “Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?”
You may wanna stay in New York for a while. They don’t want you to visit back home!
Leonardo DiCaprio's Israeli model girlfriend, Bar Rafaeli, is suing her native country's largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, for libel after claiming she said, "I am not sorry for not serving in the army ... Why is it good to die for our country? Isn't it better to live in New York?" Rafaeli's lawyer Dror Arad Alon said the statements are false and that she was "wickedly manipulated by the newspaper's reporter and editors," The News' Matthew Kalman reports.
Refaeli's lawyer Dror Arad Alon sent a letter to Yedioth claiming that the newspaper published "false, tendentious and malicious quotes which lack connection to Refaeli's comments."
Arad-Alon went on to say in the letter that Refaeli's comments were disseminated throughout the media "representing Refaeli in a ludicrous and poisonous way, essentially abandoning her to public fury for no reason."
