The Instagram model listed her job as an “advertising and marketing professional” in the publicly available document filed on December 29, 2022.
The status of her bankruptcy is ‘unterminated’, meaning that she will still have to repay certain debts and she will not be able to borrow from financial institutions again without the declaration of her bankruptcy.
Although the release of the debtor’s petition did not specify outstanding debts, the Australian Financial Securities Authority says a creditor must request $10,000 or more to apply to declare you bankrupt.
On April 20, Swadling went to court for a financial investigation to assess her property and financial circumstances as a means of satisfying the judgment debt.
She carried a Louis Vuitton handbag worth a whopping $2,840 as she prepared for the examination to determine her ability to repay her debts.
