She was caught on camera snorting a line of white powder at an illegal gathering during Melbourne’s Covid lockdown.
But it was Nadia Bartel’s turn to step behind the lens on Wednesday, as she began filming paparazzi while out and about in Melbourne.
The 36-year-old footy WAG, who has been in hiding for weeks since her snorting scandal, had just arrived at local Chemist Warehouse when she noticed waiting photographers.

Earlier in the day, Nadia’s AFL star ex-husband Jimmy, 37, was spotted arriving at his former parents-in-law’s home to pick up his sons Aston, five, and Henley, two.
The Geelong Cats great, who shares custody of the boys with Nadia, cut a low-key figure as he pulled up to the property in a black hoodie and cream shorts.

Nadia’s outing comes weeks after she was caught attending an illegal party during Melbourne’s Covid lockdown on September 2.
She and three other women were each fined $5,452 after damning footage of the party was accidentally posted on Instagram by her friend and business partner Ellie.
But the most humiliating part of the scandal was seeing Nadia, once known for her impeccably clean-cut image, snorting a line of white powder off a $1.50 Kmart plate.

While she wasn’t charged with drug offences because police couldn’t prove what she was snorting, the video nonetheless caused irreparable damage to her brand and she was dropped by major sponsors.
Just 24 hours after the video leaked, Nadia issued a grovelling apology on Instagram, where she has 567,000 followers.
‘Hi everyone, I have let you all down by my actions,’ she wrote on September 3.

‘To my family and friends, my business partners and the public health workers trying to keep us all safe, I am embarrassed and remorseful.
‘I am truly and deeply sorry. I hope I can earn your forgiveness and, in time, your trust.’
