Ayelet Ben-Shahar, who played a high end jewelry dealer on Showtime’s “House of Lies,” was busted for allegedly stealing $400 worth of groceries from a Gelson’s Market in Studio City, California.
Yes, groceries. According to TMZ, the 27-year-old was placed under citizens arrest.
The Israeli-born actress grew up in Rehovot, Israel and began acting at age 12 when she joined the Performing Stage of Arts. She has previously starred in American shows “90210”, ‘“Weeds” and “Chuck.”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
