Troubled Block star Suzi Taylor shares a tragic New Year’s confession: ‘It’s a heartbreaking lesson’

Troubled The Block star Suzi Taylor has shared a heartbreaking confession in her final social media post for 2024.

The former reality star, 52, revealed on Instagram on Tuesday that she is still estranged from her three children Bella, 20, Zac, 18, and Alex, 16, after ‘years’ of legal troubles.

Posting a selfie for her followers, Suzi said the past few years of being embroiled in legal troubles had taught her a “heartbreaking lesson.”

“The past few years have been filled with heartbreaking loved ones and the absence of my children in my life,” she began the lengthy post.

She claimed that family members cut ties with her because of exaggerated media reports without “ever trying to understand the truth.”

“This experience has been a heartbreaking lesson in the meaning of family and unconditional love,” she wrote.

The candid post continued with Suzi admitting that the situation had forced her to redefine what family is.

“Even in the midst of such profound loss and isolation, I have found resilience. I learned that family is not always defined by blood; they can be the unexpected souls that intervene during our darkest moments,” Suzi said.

Concluding the lengthy post, Suzi said she was hopeful for a more positive 2025.

“As we enter 2025, I carry the lessons of the past and the hope of better days ahead,” she said.

‘Here’s to healing, new connections and a new definition of what family means. May this year bring us all the strength to embrace the love that really matters. #newbeginning’

The reality star also shared a sweet tribute to her three estranged children ahead of her candid confession.

Suzi took to Instagram to share a photo of the New Year’s Eve fireworks in Sydney and told her children that her love for them was unconditional.

“Early fireworks for all the kids,” she began. “My three angels remain my guiding light. I carry them with me every day of my life.’

“Happy New Year, my darlings. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you. My love for you is forever.”

Taylor was arrested in August after she was allegedly caught with methylamphetamine in Southport on the Gold Coast.

Police also alleged the former star was driving a vehicle without a license and ignored police requests to stop on Stapylton Jacobs Well Road a day earlier.

The former Penthouse Pet was accused of violating a bail bond she signed on August 1 when she was released on separate drug trafficking charges.

Taylor’s latest charges include eluding at night, possession of dangerous drugs, breaching bail, driving without a license as a repeat offender and failing to stop at a red traffic arrow or stop line.

The arrest came a fortnight after Taylor was released on bail for alleged drug trafficking and other offences.

Police alleged she trafficked heroin, MDMA, meth and marijuana between March 24 and July 13.

Taylor was also charged with possession of drugs, possession of a firearm and more than $55,000, allegedly the proceeds of human trafficking.

Her attorney Michael Gatenby told the Aug. 1 hearing that there was little evidence linking Taylor to the alleged trafficking of firearms and other items allegedly found in her storage unit.

He added that the $55,000 Taylor was allegedly found with could be linked to her career as a “high-class escort.”

“There are links to celebrities and the like who are said to be clients of Ms Taylor, so that is not a controversial proposition,” he told the court at the time.

The troubled former reality TV star has been in and out of court over the years for various minor crimes.

In April 2021, Suzi stood trial on charges of extortion, deprivation of liberty, assault causing bodily harm, fraud and attempted fraud stemming from a failed escort date.

Police had alleged that Suzi and another man, Ali Ebrahimi, tied up and assaulted a man who had come into contact with Suzi through a dating app.

The pair were found not guilty on all charges.

A month later, Suzi was convicted but not further punished on charges including possession of small amounts of cocaine and marijuana, driving under the influence, violation of the rules and multiple bail violations.

In May 2019, she pleaded guilty to fraud and theft after being caught using a stolen credit card to buy alcohol.

The mother-of-three was filmed buying booze from a bottle shop on May 2 using a credit card she stole from a patient recovering at the Mater Hospital.

She spent more than $500 on seven separate transactions, including $400 on alcohol.

A week later, Suzi was also identified on CCTV by staff at the Westin Hotel in Brisbane, who took a mobile phone and laptop from a guest in their bar.

Police found the stolen items at her home on May 10 and she was summoned to appear in court, where she was fined $2,500.

Suzi rose to fame as part of the ‘Single Mums’ renovation team on The Block alongside her then BFF Yvonne ‘Voni’ Cozier in 2015.

Even though the pair finished in last place on the show, they still walked away with $349,000 in winnings.

Her wild antics, including an infamous topless dance on a boat in Melbourne, made her one of the show’s most controversial stars.
