A famed ‘Hummus Hunk’ had to cut short his honeymoon with his glamorous wife to appear in court over claims he helped gang rape a woman with his cousins.
Ohad Fisherman is accused of attacking the 25-year-old woman at a New Year’s Eve party on Miami Beach in 2016 along with his cousins, twins Oren and Alon Alexander, 37.
Oren is a high-profile TV realtor alongside his older brother Tal Alexander, 38. All three Alexanders had been federally charged over allegations they drugged and raped dozens of women over an 11 year period.
Real estate broker Fisherman, who was dubbed the ‘Hummus Hunk’ in 2016 after setting up a snack firm that later flopped, was enjoying a trip to Japan with his glamorous new journalist wife Jordan Royt, 24, when he received news of the charges.
His attorney struck a deal with prosecutors that allowed him to fly back on Tuesday, NBC reports.
Fisherman was stony-faced as he strode through the Miami-Dade County Courthouse on Wednesday with his new wife clutching his hand and ignored reporters’ questions.
His glamorous interior designer mother Tamar was there and gave him a warm hug outside the courtroom, before agreeing to pay his $260,000 bail.
Fisherman’s new father-in-law Alex was also there during the bizarre family day out.
The sour scene was a far cry from the grins on display when Oren and Alon appeared for a bail hearing last week, with their mom Orly heard urging her sons to smile, before dad Shlomy smiled and cooed that he was doing ‘great.’

Fisherman’s bail was set at a $25,000 corporate surety bond and a $260,000 personal surety guarantee signed by his wife and mother-in-law.
‘Mr. Fisherman vehemently denies those allegations and is making plans to return to South Florida’ to address the charges brought by the Miami-Dade County state attorney’s office,’ his attorney told The New York Times.
After the hearing, Fisherman was taken into custody for booking until Friday to allow his attorney time to provide a personal guarantee of funds.
He and his wife tied the knot in Miami on June 2 and live in a $1.4 million condo in the city.
Fisherman founded Hummus Joonam, a gourmet food brand offering $10 packs of hummus. The company was featured in a Tablet article which earned its founder the moniker, ‘Hummus Hunk’.
Jordan is a Columbia-educated journalist for The Times of Israel who grew up in a $1.8 million apartment overlooking the ocean in Hollywood, Florida.
Fisherman’s accuser told investigators she first met Alon in New York who invited her to a barbecue at his apartment.
But once she arrived, she claims she realized it was a ruse to get her there and the twins and Fisherman were the only people there.
She alleges the brothers argued over who would get to rape her first, with Fisherman holding her down while she was attacked by the twins.
She claims the realtor then forced her to have sex with him before forcing her to shower and swear she would never tell anyone before she was allowed to leave.

The twins have been federally charges along with their older brother Tal Alexander over allegations they drugged and raped dozens of women from 2010 to 2021
The claims are the latest sordid allegations to emerge against the Alexander brothers.
The twins appeared in state court Friday in Florida where they were granted bail collectively amounting to $5 million, on the condition they remain on house arrest and surrender their US and Israeli passports.
However, they remain in custody due to their federal charges pending a hearing this week to determine bail.
It appears unlikely they will be bonded out though, as their older brother was labelled a ‘flight risk’ and denied bail.
Prosecutors warned the wealthy trio’s access to private jets and yachts gave them a wide range of options to flee justice.
Oren had tried to play the family man by telling a judge that his pregnant model wife Kamila Hansen is on the verge of giving birth, but now faces a long wait before he gets to meet his first child.
Oren and Tal Alexander were superstar realtors with the famed Douglas Elliman real estate firm and are famous for selling America’s most expensive ever property, a $238 million penthouse overlooking Central Park they closed on in 2019.
But those heady days are now a distant memory for the pair and their sibling, who have been accused of drugging and raping dozens of women between 2010 and 2021.

Stomach-churning claims made against the trio in an indictment said they would arrange glamorous international parties as ‘bait’, then allegedly choose from a rape ‘wish list’ of women they wanted to attend.
The three brothers were each arrested at separate properties in Miami on Wednesday morning, and the twins are also facing state felony charges of sexual battery related to alleged assaults on three women, reports the New York Times.
The siblings made their name in the luxury real estate world in New York City and Miami, and often shared their lavish lifestyles on social media.
But prosecutors claim in their indictment that the brothers used their wealth and status to target and coerce women, and even allegedly conspired to set up events and trips to entice women into their web.
There is one other Alexander brother, a journalist called Niv.
He lives a quiet life with his wife Cassie in New York City and has never been in trouble with the law.
