Melbourne socialite and television personality Brynne Edelsten has secured her release on bail amid serious drug trafficking allegations, with her mother providing a $5,000 guarantee. The 42-year-old former reality star appeared before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday as authorities proceed with multiple controlled substance charges.
The case stems from a December 29 police raid on her Fitzroy residence, where investigators allegedly discovered a commercial quantity of methylamphetamine alongside other prohibited substances. Court documents reveal nine separate charges including drug possession, trafficking methylamphetamine, and possession of schedule 4 poisons without authorization.
According to evidence presented to Magistrate Brett Sonnet, the search uncovered significant quantities of ketamine and 1.4-Butanediol in addition to various anabolic steroids including testosterone, nandrolone phenylpropionate, and trenbolone vials.
Defense attorney Marco Man facilitated the bail arrangement requiring Edelsten to surrender her passport to authorities and maintain regular reporting obligations at a police station three times weekly while awaiting trial. The American-born celebrity, who gained fame through appearances on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and ‘SAS Australia’ following her high-profile marriage to late billionaire Geoffrey Edelsten, declined to comment outside the courtroom.
The case has been adjourned until April for further proceedings, with Edelsten maintaining her right to silence regarding the allegations against her.
