“Kate got fat! Kate got fat! Kate got fat!’ is older news than Moses,” the former fiancee of mogul James Packer writes on her Facebook page about the Woman’s Day story that reignited media interest.
“And anyway that’s not my legal name anymore. Thanks guys for checking in with me. I’m no longer desirous of being a public figure but I’ve noticed a bit of interest in this page in the last 24 hours so I thought I’d say G’day!”
“Tziporah is how I wish to be addressed,” the 42-year-old continues.
“You won’t get far with Kate – it is not my name and it is disrespectful for people to be wilfully rude and ignore this simple request.
“As mentioned earlier I retired from the public life close to ten years ago. I do not grant interviews and have no interest in being in the public eye.
“I work in the health care industry and very much enjoy helping others. I am content in most ways and appreciate my life being a private one now.”
Despite rumours she had “converted” to Judaism, Tziporah explained she had always been Jewish but had been unaware of her religion until after she retired from showbiz.
According to the former star, she legally changed her name to Tziporah, “a traditional name on her matrilineal line”.
Born in South Australia, she had her first taste of fame after winning the Dolly magazine modelling competition at age 13. The same competition has since launched the likes of Miranda Kerr and Jessica Hart.

The former actress said she was moved to start a Facebook page and Instagram account in order to stop lies about her from spreading.
“The initial idea for me to start a public page was that there are many lies and one-sided nasty things written about me, and while I have become immune to most of it, it bothers me when it bothers the people that I am close to or violates the privacy of my family in any way,” she writes.
