R235 Yes. He was well known in the industry for having worked on several popular cartoons in the 80's, before his breakout hit "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" put his production company on the map. He was introduced to Sarah through a mutual friend, one of the female stars of Power Rangers (I think it was Kimberly, The Pink Ranger, played by Amy Jo Johnson). Shuki was married to actress Deborah Skelton (Dallas) and engaged at the same time to Shell Danielson (Dominique, GH) while he pursued Sarah (he was planning to divorce Deborah then marry Shell right after it was finalized, until he met Sarah, who was practically 30 years younger than Shuki). Shuki had alot of connections so that's why it was so easy for him to have her blackballed once she walked away from him (Sarah has accused Shuki of sexual assault, she told the Power Ranger actress what he did, and she told Sarah he did the same to her, too; she warned Sarah that he would retaliate if she ever rejected him- he promised to advance her career, while also having her drunk driving charges handled early on in her career, around the time he cast her on his other show, VR Troopers, due to his connections within the LAPD. Sarah says that she had no idea he was married to Deborah and engaged to Shell until her daughter was almost two years old, when they were in court for a custody agreement. She also says that none of the women knew each other were all involved with him).
Sarah was living in an apartment that Shuki owned, and he also lived there with her (she paid him $900 a month) while she was on GH. When she broke it off with him, she had friends over to celebrate her breaking it off. Shortly after, the apartment was set on fire; when arson investigators asked her if she knew of anyone who was possibly trying to kill her, she named Shuki Levy. However, Shuki was never charged. Prior to that, Sarah was also pregnant by Shuki, before she was on GH, in 1995; Shuki had Sarah go film a movie, with action scenes, to make sure that she miscarried. He also had another 19 year old pregnant at the same time as Sarah, while still with his wife and Shell. He also tried to kill his wife by putting a gun to her head, threatening her. He also spit in Sarah's face, while she was holding their daughter, and told her, "I'm going to take away everything you love, one by one." Sarah also discovered that he was recording her phone conversations and had surveillance all over his house to watch her every move. He did the same thing to her own house that she shared with their daughter, he had secret surveillance set up in her home, for his good friends and family members had access to her home when she wasn't there, for the sake of their daughter.
Long story short, Shuki and his business partner, Haim Saban, are well connected throughout the entertainment industry, with connections also running through law enforcement and politics. Sarah was also present upon Shuki and Haim receiving a corrupt deal with the SAG Union, she didn't hear the terms of the deal herself, however Shuki later informed her of the deal.
She also says that he attempted to kidnap their daughter and that he had a history of being with younger women, who had similar stories of being sexually assaulted by him, roofied and raped. He had a younger girlfriend named Tori Avey (who was 21 when Sarah was 30) that he eventually married; Tori was with Shuki during the kidnapping attempt. Sarah was gaslighted by him, and since he's so well connected, he made life difficult for her at every turn.
