Nadia Bartel puts her infamous snuff scandal behind her as she re-enters Melbourne’s social scene.
The former AFL WAG, who has avoided red carpet events since her spectacular fall last year, has been announced as a celebrity ambassador for the 2022 Caulfield Cup race carnival next weekend.

Nadia is no stranger to the horse racing season and has served as a style ambassador for the Melbourne Racing Club on several occasions over the years.
Her return to the limelight comes a year after the influencer was forced to flee the limelight amid her image-shattering white powder scandal.
On September 2 last year, Nadia was filmed breaking Melbourne’s lockdown and snorting white powder off a $1.50 Kmart sign during an illegal gathering at a friend’s house.

Her business partner Ellie Pearson accidentally uploaded the images to social media, forcing Nadia to publicly apologize a day later.
At the time, private and public gatherings were not allowed in Melbourne under statewide Covid restrictions.
Nadia’s apology – including a call for forgiveness from health professionals – was followed by weeks of silence on social media.

Nadia and three other women were later fined $5,452 each for breaking the lockdown.
However, she was not charged with drug offences, as the Victoria police were unable to prove what she snorted.
Nadia’s impending return to the limelight comes days after her ex-husband, Geelong Cats star Jimmy Bartel, revealed that his girlfriend Amelia Shepperd is pregnant with their first child, a girl.
The former AFL star also shares two sons with ex-wife Nadia, sons Henley, three, and Aston, six.
The Caulfield Cup Carnival will take place on October 15 and will be broadcast on Channel 7.
