Tziporah Malkah has made shameful comments about her ex-fiance fiancé James Packers’ mental health.
The 46-year-old model, formerly known as Kate Fischer, was engaged to James in the late ’90s and has hardly spoken to him for two decades.
In a callous Instagram post, she described James’s biography The Price of Fortune, in which he spoke candidly of his personal struggles, as his ‘epitaph’.

Tziporah shared a photo of the book and revealed that her agent, Max Markson, had been hired to promote it when it was first released in 2018.
She then offered a bizarre reason for why she had declined to comment on the book.
‘My darling @maxmarkson was promoting the book so inevitably the questions were asked. “What? A comment on an epitaph?” Nice tombstone mate,’ she wrote.
When a follower asked if the exes were still in touch, Tziporah made a cutting remark about James’ mental health problems which cannot be republished for legal reasons.
Tziporah separated from James more than 20 years ago, making her decision to comment publicly about his health all the more confusing.

In The Price of Fortune, James revealed his struggles with alcoholism and mental health issues after the collapse of his business empire and several relationships.
The book outlines some of the darkest moments of his life, and how he went from inheriting a fortune having a string of nervous breakdowns.
The 52-year-old businessman also revealed how he would down ‘a bottle of vodka a day’ following the demise of his relationship with Mariah Carey in 2016.

James, who was admitted to a rehab centre in March 2018, acknowledged that he was struggling with his mental health at the time of their relationship.
In February 2016 – just a month after he proposed to Mariah with a $12.7million, 35-carat diamond ring – he was apparently not coping well.
‘I was in a bad, bad way,’ James said, reflecting on that dark period of his life.
As well as struggling with depression and anxiety, he was also facing financial strain.
‘I don’t know if I started crying, but I thought to myself, “I don’t want to have $1.4billion of debt any more. Why am I doing this?”‘ he said.

Tziporah told A Current Affair in 2018 that she split from James in 1998 because ‘he was under so much pressure from work’.
She added: ‘I just refused to marry a credit card and so that was the end of it.’
Tziporah spoke about her own mental health just before Christmas in a rare interview with The Weekend Australian.

She was asked about her recent YouTube videos, in which she documented her various encounters with police and ambulance crews who had been called to her Kings Cross apartment due to fears for her welfare.
Tziporah clarified that she is a ‘psychopath’ but ‘not insane’.
She added that the only reason she is visited so frequently is due to her worrying mother, politician Pru Goward.
While Tziporah is believed to be single, James is in a long-term relationship with socialite Kylie Lim, with whom he is holidaying in Aspen, Colorado.
