You would remember her as Kate Fischer, the brunette supermodel who graced countless campaigns and magazine covers during the ’90s.
But that’s not who she is anymore.
The 42-year-old is now Tziporah Malkah, an aged-care worker living a private life in Melbourne — details of which were recently splashed across the tabloid media, along with voyeuristic photographs of her changed body.
One headline even read: “You’ll never guess what James Packer’s ex-fiancee Kate Fischer looks like now: She’s unrecognisable!”
Unsurprisingly, Tziporah has had enough.
“‘Kate got fat! Kate got fat! Kate got fat!’ is older news than Moses,” she wrote on a newly established Facebook page.
“And anyway that’s not my legal name anymore.”
In an attempt to correct the “many lies and one-sided nasty things” again being written about her in the press, Tziporah earlier posted a short Wikipedia-style autobiography to the page.
It covered her rise to fame as model, actress and television presenter, to her decision to retire after 21 years in show business “to focus on other things”.
“It was around this time she found out that although the family had not practiced [sic] Judaism for many years, she was technically Jewish (did NOT convert- no need),” she wrote.

So this is a woman who lived off her looks, nothing wrong with that, but now chooses to do something truly helpful to the community and help the elderly, this is something to be admired. There is nothing wrong with being a model, but in my eyes what she has decided to do with her life now is true beauty, as she is helping those in need, she has my admiration more than any supermodel.
It is also obvious that she wished to remain anonymous and I think it is awful that her new identity has been exposed in this way.
It baffles me that women still buy trash mags like Woman's Day, New Idea etc. They are so damaging.
I can never understand how they are able to keep publishing stories which are just flat out lies - completely made up, with no actual genuine sources.
