Socialite’s Tesla Crash, Cop Slap, and Panic Spiral: The Shocking Saga

BBG News

The well-heeled suburb of Bellevue Hill is an unlikely location for a scuffle with police.

Last week, as 54-year-old socialite Vanessa Jacobs Fennell was caught on camera being taken into custody by police officers, it sparked quite a discussion among the trendy set.

On a fateful Friday evening at 7 PM, I found myself, an ardent admirer, unwillingly entwined in an extraordinary scene – the arrest of a charitable luminary, no less. It was right before my eyes, among the stunned spectators at that very restaurant, that she was led away by the authorities, following a rather unfortunate incident where her sleek black Range Rover Sport collided with a stationary Tesla. Quite an unforgettable moment for this fan!

The car apparently showed signs of scratches, dents, and torn tires. A bystander, as reported in a Sydney paper, mentioned that she seemed to have been circling the vicinity repeatedly.

Jacobs Fennell, who is a mother of two children, faced charges for attacking a police officer and resisting a breathalyzer test. Later on, she asserted that she had experienced a panic attack and sustained injuries during the course of her apprehension.

The event has gained significant attention in the eastern suburbs, causing an unexpected pause in social media activities for high-profile wives, as they found themselves tuning into evening news broadcasts to watch her arrest video dominate the headlines throughout the weekend.

In that thrilling moment of her arrest, I couldn’t help but notice when, while being guided towards a patrol vehicle, she seemed to suddenly break loose and deliver a swift slap to an officer’s arm. The adrenaline was pumping!

‘Everyone was texting each other about it,’ one socialite tells me.

It was surprising to witness officers leading her away because she’s well-known in the eastern region. Our reaction was, “What on earth is happening here?

On a Monday, Jacobs Fennell was spotted taking shelter at her oceanfront residence in Tamarama. This grand property, which she calls home, boasts five bedrooms and was last sold in 2014 for $5.5 million. Now, it’s estimated to be worth approximately double that price.

Indoors, she was emotionally confiding in friends about her intentions to board a flight to Hong Kong following her detainment. Whether or not she ultimately manages to travel abroad is yet to be determined.

On Monday morning, aside from a group of news vehicles and cameras stationed at the house, the main action consisted of a young man, later identified as a staff member of the Jacobs Fennell family, arriving to fetch their child for school.

After the school run, the man was later seen returning with groceries.

Around noon, I found myself momentarily spotted on the balcony, appearing quite frazzled during a phone conversation. Swiftly, I dashed back indoors.

People I know have mentioned that the reported event in Bellevue Hill seems unusual for a woman who is typically recognized for her charitable activities and dedicating her time to assisting others.

It’s been said that the strange behavior she displayed was likely due to a recent split with well-known Melbourne entrepreneur Nathan Sable.

From my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, it appears that I was previously involved with someone; however, just a few weeks prior to Valentine’s Day, the relationship took an unexpected chill.

At a charitable event, they crossed paths. From what I’ve been informed, he was quite engaging.

She became less cautious, and he terminated the relationship. This entire situation left her confused and questioning, as she yearned for clarification.

Prior to her relationship with Sable, Ms. Jacobs Fennell was wedded to the private equity banker Tom Fennell, who happens to reside very close to the location of last Friday’s accident scene.

Onlookers reported that Jacobs Fennell was attempting to keep back angry diners who had hastened to the intersection of Riddell St and Bellevue Rd, intending to extract her from the vehicle.

At Waverley Police Station, she faced charges for failing to comply with a breath test request, attacking a police officer while on duty, and neglecting to provide details to the owner of the damaged property.

Initially, it was anticipated that she would appear before the Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday, but the police unexpectedly granted her early release on bail during the evening of Saturday itself. However, she is expected to attend court once more in the coming month.

Jacobs Fennell is known for being involved with various charitable organizations, specifically serving on boards for the Sydney Children’s Hospital and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute.

It has been confirmed to me that she won’t be able to make it to the Silver Party, an event that supports the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Previously considered for the cast of “The Real Housewives of Sydney,” Jacobs Fennell recently grabbed attention by standing up against a persistent real estate agent in 2021.

she filed a grievance with the New South Wales Fair Trading, claiming harassment from an overly assertive McGrath real estate agent who persistently tried to persuade her into selling her high-valued Tamarama residence.

14 long months of unrelenting anxiety, I found myself haunted by a relentless barrage of proposals, even though my humble abode remained off-limits to potential buyers. As an ardent fan, I couldn’t help but feel deeply concerned for her wellbeing.
