The Israeli beauty, who reached the final of her country’s version of Big Brother, is set to launch a case against the Italian star.
Her spokesperson told Spanish newspaper El Mundo: “We are going to Italy to submit a complaint to police against Mario Balotelli for his physical and verbal attacks against Avivit Bar Zohar.

This is not the first time Balotelli has hit the headlines for his life away from the football pitch.
Within days of joining Manchester City he was involved in a car crash, after which he was discovered to have been carrying £5,000 in cash.
When asked why he was carrying such a large amount of money, he responded: “Because I am rich.”
He also once drove into a women’s prison to “have a look around”, threw a dart at a youth team player and caused serious damage by setting off a fire work in his own bathroom - in the wake of which he was unveiled as Greater Manchester’s latest ambassador for firework safety.
