Nadia Bartel’s name has been splashed across the headlines after footage emerged of her snorting white powder at an illegal gathering in Melbourne on Thursday.
And things have gone from bad to worse for Nadia in the last 24 hours amid rumours a ‘nude photo’ of the 36-year-old former WAG is now circulating online.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford broke the news on Twitter, telling his 19,000 followers: ‘Interesting twist in the Nadia Bartel story. Someone has now “leaked” a nude picture of her.’

‘This means it now becomes a case of revenge porn and matter for the police. It also means she’s now a victim as opposed to earlier story which would garner her little public sympathy,’ he added.
Daily Mail Australia has been unable to confirm if any such photo of Nadia exists. Her representatives have been contacted for comment.
Nadia had been filmed snorting white powder, believed to be cocaine, at an illegal gathering in Melbourne on Thursday evening.

Victorians living under lockdown are prohibited from holding private gatherings.
The mother of two issued a public apology on Friday afternoon, a day after the video was accidently uploaded to Instagram by her friend Ellie Pearson.
The footage was published for about 10 minutes before being deleted.

‘Hi everyone, I have let you all down by my actions. I take full responsibility and I am committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure I make better choices in future,’ she wrote.
‘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.’

Nadia’s apology – which included an appeal for forgiveness from health workers – seemingly confirmed the gathering was held on Thursday evening.
Daily Mail Australia understands the video was posted to Instagram by Ellie entirely by mistake, but that another member of Nadia’s social group quickly downloaded it and sent the damning footage to media outlets in an attempt to ‘destroy’ the WAG.
‘The cocaine video was deliberately leaked by someone within Nadia’s elite Melbourne social circle,’ a source said.
‘This is someone who for all intents and purposes seems to be Nadia’s friend on Instagram but they are secretly jealous.
‘They pounced on it and immediately sent it to people they knew could get it to the press quickly.
‘This was part of a campaign of revenge… someone wants to shut her down.’

Each woman has been fined $5,452, but a fifth woman was not charged because she was ‘complying with employment restrictions’, Victoria Police said on Monday.
Police are also investigating possible drug offences after Ms Bartel was recorded at the party snorting white powder believed to be cocaine.

‘The incident occurred at a private address on Thursday, September 2, at 4pm.
‘A 36-year-old Windsor woman, a 32-year-old Richmond woman, a 33-year-old Pascoe Vale woman and a 35-year-old Strathmore woman have all be issued with a penalty infringement notice for failing to comply with requirements in relation to a private or public gathering.
‘The monetary penalty for each Penalty Infringement Notice is $5452.
‘A fifth woman at the address was not charged as she was complying with CHO employment restrictions.
‘Enquiries into possible drug offences are ongoing.’
Bartel is a mother of two and the ex-wife of retired AFL star Jimmy Bartel, a Brownlow Medallist who spent his career with the Geelong Cats.
