Ex-model: I was ‘bullied’ by police
FORMER model and actor Kate Fischer has accused Victorian police of being “bullies” after she made a bizarre court appearance contesting drinkdriving charges.
Posing and snapping selfies outside the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, the 44-year-old, now legally known as Tziporah Malkah, said she wanted to tell her story “in my own words”.
The former flame of billionaire James Packer, who appeared in the 1993 film Sirens is accused of driving while intoxicated on January 3.
It’s also alleged she refused a breath test after an accident, drove carelessly, reversed in an unsafe manner, and stopped on a nature strip.
Malkah yesterday faced seven charges, and indicated she may contest some or all of them.
The court was told she was “extremely unhappy” with the way police acted on the night of the allegations.
“VicPol are bullies,” she told reporters as she left, without providing details. “You’ll find out. You’ll find out.”
Mr Kuzilny said his client was likely to plead guilty, but wanted time to discuss the matters. She is due to return to court on December 15.
