The theory of non-Hermitian systems and the theory of quantum deformations have attracted a great deal of attention in the last decades. In general, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed by a textit{ad hoc} manner. Here, we study the (2+1) Dirac oscillator and show that in the context of the $kappa$--deformed Poincare-Hopf algebra its Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian but having real eigenvalues. The non-Hermiticity steams from the $kappa$-deformed algebra. From the mapping in [Bermudez textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A textbf{76}, 041801(R) 2007], we propose the $kappa$-JC and $kappa$--AJC models, which describe an interaction between a two-level system with a quantized mode of an optical cavity in the $kappa$--deformed context. We find that the $kappa$--deformation modifies the textit{Zitterbewegung} frequencies and the collapse and revival of quantum oscillations. In particular, the total angular momentum in the $z$--direction is not conserved anymore, as a direct consequence of the deformation.
