THEY split almost two decades ago, but Kate Fischer claims her rich ex is an “attention whore” who will still do anything to be associated with her.

THE ex-model and actress formerly known as Kate Fischer, now as Tziporah Malkah, has launched a bizarre attack on her ex-fiance James Packer, labelling the billionaire businessman an “attention whore”.

Malkah has been the subject of media attention this week since Woman’s Day published paparazzi pictures of her alongside details of her current post-fame life. Having embraced Orthodox Judaism, the former actress, model and socialite now lives a quiet life in Toorak, where she works as a therapist in an aged care facility.

Malkah responded to the initial wave of attention yesterday on her public Facebook page.

Posting a link to an tabloid article about her current post-fame life, saying that “‘Kate got fat! Kate got fat! Kate got fat!’ is older news than Moses,” and that while she’s no longer interested in being a public figure, “I’ve noticed a bit of interest in this page in the last 24 hours so I thought I’d say G’day!”

Today, her posts to the page have taken an angrier tone — with much of her anger directed at James Packer, her partner for seven years until the pair broke off their engagement in 1998.

Malkah says her ex will do ‘ANYTHING’ to be associated with her.

“James Packer will do ANYTHING to continue to be associated with me! And who can blame him? The whole world knows that I’m the most interesting thing that had and will ever happen to him. Attention whore that he is," she wrote.

Malkah‘s rant about her ex was linked to an article that didn’t feature any quotes from him.

Packer, who married twice after his engagement to Malkah (then Fischer), is currently engaged to pop superstar Mariah Carey. He has not made any recent public comment regarding Malkah.

In another post to her fan page, Malkah said she suspected an unnamed friend had sold her private Facebook pictures to the media — pictures which she had publicly posted on her Facebook page and are still easily accessible to anyone.

“OK- whoever you are, my so-called “friend”, that is copying my photos and sending them onto tabloids: that stops today. I now have an Instagram account where ANYONE can follow me and photos will be posted there. So if you’re getting fiscal reimbursement from these tabloid bs machines- your gravy train has ended.

“I am extremely disappointed that there is a rat in my nest of friends. But you have been warned: and next time I post private photos of family members on fb I will be very explicit that these are private photos and there will be ramifications if they are put in print elsewhere,” she continued.

The 42-year-old turned her back on the limelight around a decade ago, embracing Orthodox Judaism, legally changing her name and embracing a new career out of the public eye.

By contrast, Packer’s high-profile wedding to pop diva Carey is set to be documented in an eight-part reality series, Mariah’s World, screening on E! in December.
