Footage of Bartel inhaling white powder from a plate at the gathering began to go viral in September 2021.
In the video, Bartel is seen inhaling dust from a $1.50 Kmart plate held by a dark-haired woman, while a third woman shows a two-fingered hand gesture in the background.
The three-second video was accidentally uploaded to Instagram by Bartel’s friend and business associate, Ellie Pearson, in September.
Ex-AFL WAG Nadia Bartel was caught up in a white powder scandal at a meeting last year. The three-second video was accidentally uploaded to Instagram by Bartel’s friend and business associate, Ellie Pearson, in September.
The clip began with the fashion influencer and beauty bent over the plate with a bill rolled up her left nostril while pinching her right nostril.
She then snorted the substance as the other two women watched.
Private and public gatherings were not allowed in Melbourne, where Bartel lives, under the state-wide Covid restrictions of Victoria at the time of the video.
Nadia was not charged with drug offences. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton confirmed they would take no further action because officers “were unable to determine what the substance was in the dish.”
