A man from Sydney's eastern suburbs has been charged following an alleged break-in at the home of high-profile eyebrow specialist Kristin Fisher, known as the 'Double Bay eyebrow queen'.
Details of the Alleged Incident
The man, whose identity is protected by a court order, was arrested in October last year. Police allege he entered Fisher's apartment 'with intent'. He has been charged with aggravated break and enter with intent and was subsequently granted bail. It is understood the accused knows Fisher, who had an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) in place against him at the time of the alleged incident.
The alleged perpetrator has not yet entered a plea and is scheduled to appear in court next week. Further details surrounding the break-in have not been made public by authorities.
Kristin Fisher's High-Profile Career and Controversies
Kristin Fisher, 40, has built a renowned career as an eyebrow artist to celebrities, with a client list including Jesinta Franklin, Sylvia Jeffreys, Elle Ferguson, and Pip Edwards. She is also a known associate of socialite Dina Broadhurst.
However, her professional and personal life has been marked by significant turbulence in recent years. Her salon, Kristin Fisher Eyebrows, entered voluntary administration in November 2023 with debts surpassing $900,000. After the Australian Taxation Office rejected an initial debt repayment plan, a deal was struck in January 2024 to wipe out nearly $1 million in unpaid taxes.
Fisher's controversies extend beyond finance. In July 2021, she was arrested for cocaine possession after police found bags of white powder at her feet in a car. She failed to appear in court on three subsequent occasions, blaming her children for losing the court notice. When she finally appeared, her guilty plea was accepted, and she avoided a formal conviction on the condition of good behaviour for six months. The magistrate at the time criticised the prevalence of cocaine use in the eastern suburbs.
Ongoing Legal Proceedings
The latest alleged incident adds another layer to Fisher's complex public narrative. With the man charged in connection to the break-in due to face court, the case continues to develop. The court's decision to suppress the accused's name adds a further element of intrigue to the proceedings, which are being closely watched in Sydney's social circles.
