Media personality Judy Nir Moses is standing by her comments about chef Haim Cohen's physique, made during the reality cooking show "The Kitchen Masters VIP." Despite backlash, Moses stated she has no intention of apologizing to Cohen, asserting that people "need to wake up" about their health.

The controversy began when Moses, during a discussion about participants' eating habits, remarked that one of Cohen's advantages was that "he is not thin." Cohen humorously questioned if she was calling him fat, to which Moses responded that he is "full." She elaborated that while she aims for a size 34 but is a size 36 to avoid looking unhealthy, Cohen doesn't have that problem, implying an advantage to being "full."

In a subsequent interview with Guy Pines, Moses doubled down on her remarks. She clarified that she told Cohen he was fat and likely had a belly, questioning why she would lie and call him thin, handsome, and muscular. Moses framed her comments as being related to health awareness, not an intention to offend Cohen.

Moses further explained that she is aware of many illnesses and problems caused by obesity and wants people to be conscious of them. She stressed that she does not intend to hurt anyone undeserving of being hurt, but at her age, she will not lie.
