In 2023, Haaretz reported that Shelley personally responded to an Israeli visa inquiry by a Brazilian woman. He told her in correspondence and in video chats that she needed to meet him in person before he would help her obtain a visa to visit Israel.

“When I turned on the camera, I saw he was lying on the bed, sweating,” the woman recounted. “He said he’d just returned from a walk. It was very inappropriate.
