  • Bar Refaeli suspects her mother, Tzipi Refaeli, is the "Big Mouth" contestant on "The Masked Singer."
  • Moshe Peretz first raised suspicions about Tzipi Refaeli based on clues from the "Big Mouth" character.
  • Tzipi Refaeli has been a suspect on "The Masked Singer" in a previous season, causing tension with Ophira Assayag.
  • Ophira Assayag and Tzipi Refaeli were recently seen interacting at a show launch event, suggesting a possible reconciliation.
  • Bar Refaeli expressed initial apprehension about working with Ophira Assayag but found the reception warm.

The fifth season of the reality singing competition "The Masked Singer" has premiered on Keshet 12, with international model Bar Refaeli joining the judging panel alongside singer Moshe Peretz, Ophira Assayag, Shahar Hason, and Tzadi Tzarfati. However, the guessing game has extended beyond the studio, with Bar Refaeli suspecting her own mother, Tzipi Refaeli, might be one of the masked celebrities.

In a video shared by Bar, she directly questions her mother about whether she is the "Big Mouth" contestant. Tzipi Refaeli deflects the question with a mysterious "I'm not telling." Moshe Peretz initially raised the suspicion, pointing to clues associated with the "Big Mouth" character, such as a camera reminiscent of the Refaeli family's reality show "The Refaelis," and mentions of Tzadi Tzarfati and Tzviקה Pik, whom he linked to Bar's past audition for the musical "Mary Lou." The song choice "Ain't Your Mama" also fits this theory.

This is not the first time Tzipi Refaeli has been a suspect on "The Masked Singer." In the third season, Ophira Assayag was convinced Tzipi was hidden beneath the "Chick" costume. At that time, Assayag revealed a rift in their previously close friendship, stating Tzipi had become distant after her release from prison.

However, the relationship between Assayag and Tzipi Refaeli may be mending. The two were recently seen conversing at the new season's launch event on October 11, with Bar Refaeli also present. The interaction, coupled with the warm reception Bar received from Assayag during their work together on the show, has sparked curiosity about a potential reconciliation between the former friends.

It remains to be seen if Tzipi Refaeli is indeed the "Big Mouth" contestant and if Bar Refaeli's participation on the panel will help bridge the gap between her mother and Assayag.
