The shocking reason a troubled reality TV star told cops for not taking a breathalyser test

Reality TV star Suzi Taylor reportedly refused to take a breathalyzer test because of her cosmetic lip fillers.

The 54-year-old Block star is reportedly facing charges of failing to submit to a roadside breathalyzer test, driving without a license and operating a vehicle while over the alcohol limit.

She was spotted by police on August 12 in the driver’s seat of a BMW X6 with the ignition on, parked in a postal area on Alden Street Fortitude Valley.

Police will allege that Suzi – whose full name is Suellen Jan Taylor – initially refused to take a breathalyzer test because of her lip injections, the Courier post.

She reportedly gave a BAC reading of 0.028 when she provided a breath sample shortly afterward.

Police also allege that Suzi did not have a driver’s license, as her license was never reinstated after being suspended for three months by a court in 2021.

The matter was reportedly briefly heard in Brisbane District Court on Tuesday but has been adjourned until October 22.

Although the duo finished in last place, they still managed to pocket $349,000.

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

In January 2016, Suzi claimed she was in a ‘secret relationship’ with Weekend Today presenter Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins.

In addition to her work on reality TV, Taylor has also worked as a glamour model, posing for racy magazine photoshoots.

She has also had acting roles in the past, including an X-rated role in the 2003 crime film Gettin’ Square.
