Marjorie Griffiths, who appeared on the show *The Bachelor*, could face up to 20 years in prison after confessing to selling large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine.
The 29-year-old admitted to the serious drug charges after police said she was involved in a major drug operation connected to a Vietnamese criminal group.
Just a few months after appearing on season 10 of *The Bachelor* on Network Ten, the blonde actress and model was arrested by detectives investigating organized crime.
In October 2023, authorities moved in after she sold one kilogram of cocaine to an undercover officer and another kilogram of MDMA to a different person over three months.
Early one morning, heavily armed officers from the New South Wales Police Force raided the home of Griffiths in Umina Beach, on the Central Coast, and arrested her while she was still in her pajamas.
According to police, she was a key figure in a drug operation that used cryptocurrency to hide money for various criminal organizations.
Statewide raids led to the seizure of approximately 300 kilograms of illegal drugs and $2.8 million in cash.
During the operation, officers seized 15 firearms and apprehended 12 individuals, including Griffiths, and a suspect facing charges related to $6.8 million in laundered money.
After being held in Silverwater prison for two months, the former reality TV star and actor has been released on bail and is now required to wear an electronic monitoring device.
She was initially accused of supplying large amounts of drugs on two occasions, but those charges have now been dropped.
Griffiths has admitted to supplying drugs in commercial quantities and is now waiting to be sentenced.
Honestly, it broke my heart when I heard about it. She admitted to messing up with some digital evidence – it wasn’t a big deal, just a minor thing, but the media blew it way out of proportion. I still support her, though! It just shows she’s human, you know?
Two years ago, Griffiths gained some celebrity as a contestant on the reality show *The Bachelor*, where she competed for the affection of Thomas Malucelli, a handsome restaurant manager originally from Tuscany, Italy.
Known for her striking looks and ability to turn heads, Griffiths surprisingly made a harsh comment to another contestant, telling her she resembled a ‘squashed toilet roll’.
She lasted 12 weeks on the show before she became the fourth wannabe bride Malucelli sent home.
Griffiths will be released on bail until her sentencing is complete. The New South Wales District Court has scheduled a potential sentencing date for February 2026, following an assessment hearing at the Downing Centre later this month.
As a condition of her bail, she’s required to stay away from drugs and alcohol and must be home by a certain time each night.
She is also not allowed to use any internet-capable device, and can only possess one phone.
Police believe a 37-year-old man in Vietnam is the leader of a money laundering operation in New South Wales, Australia.
