Roxy Jacenko has put her house promotion giveaway drama behind her to enjoy a relaxing Mother’s Day getaway with her family in Singapore.
The Australian PR guru, 44, posted to Instagram on Sunday a photo of herself arriving at Singapore’s trendy Orchard Como restaurant ahead of the celebratory lunch with her and her children.
Looking extremely slim after losing weight from the stress of her house present, the blonde dressed to impress in a pair of distressed denim cut-offs, a black Balenciaga tank top and $1,600 Hermès sneakers.
Slung over her shoulders was a black Hermès Birkin bag, worth about $50,000.
Roxy completed her look with a sleek bun hairstyle and a pair of gold stud earrings.

Earlier in the day, the publicist shared a video of her daughter Pixie, 12, and son Hunter, 10, presenting her with a special Mother’s Day cake.
She also filmed herself receiving a large gift bag from Chanel, exclaiming, “Uh, are you kidding me? Thank you!’
To honor her own mother, Roxy also shared a throwback photo of herself and Pixie posing next to mother Doreen, with the caption: ‘Happy Mother’s Day on this 10/10. From today on, I promise that I WILL listen to you, because you are ALWAYS right.”

It comes after Roxy revealed she was worried about her PR bootcamp giveaway, saying her weight had dropped to just 100 pounds and she had ‘fainted twice’.
Roxy shared an emotional video on Instagram on Sunday and insisted she would personally refund all 7,000 people who signed up for her bootcamp.

The PR expert informed those who signed up for her online business course: Brand Bootcampthat they will be repaid because she has lost control of the company.
The promotion included a number of prizes, including a luxury home.
A $10 million waterfront mansion in Sydney’s Cronulla could be up for grabs for those who signed up Brand Bootcamp.

Gamblers who paid for the course, which starts at $29, were entered into a giveaway to win the house, as well as other luxury prizes including $250,000 cash, a Birkin bag and a Rolex watch.
But on Friday, Jacenko informed her online followers that she was refunding the fees for everyone who took part, and was paying the fees from her own bank account.
‘As many of you know, I launched a campaign on March 8 this year. That promotion, Roxy’s Boot Camp, came about when I got a message on Instagram from someone I don’t know who had a great idea,” she began.

“And that idea was that I would teach my courses and tie a trade promotion to those courses… Basically, we formed a partnership with myself and two people I don’t know. I sprayed it.”
Roxy then described the massive media campaign she undertook to promote the venture, before feeling ‘uneasy’ three days into the trial and at that stage suggesting refunds should be issued.
The PR queen says she was willing to cough up $150,000 of her own money to make those refunds to clients, but the suggestion was “rejected” by her business partners.
“So the promotion went ahead and I continued with my mindset of, ‘we’re going to get this done.’ “We are going to make three people’s lives different by winning three fantastic prizes in the last two months,” she continued.
Roxy said the process has left her so “stressed and distressed” that her weight has dropped to 100 pounds and she has “fainted twice.”
After what she calls “repeated negotiations” with her business partners, Roxy says she cannot protect “the $250,000” offered for “the first prize” and has “taken hostage” a Rolex and Birkin that were also part of the prize pool, because she has ‘no access to the company’s bank account’.
She continued: “I have stepped down as director. I’m just a shareholder now. My hands are tied. I’m exhausted. I feel bullied. I feel sad and ashamed.
‘Now there’s nothing I can do… Unfortunately my name is all over here, but what I want you to know is that I did my very best.
“I can’t be in a position where I weigh 100 pounds and I certainly can’t be in a position where I walk to the door to answer the intercom and pass out.”
Roxy concluded, “I appreciate all of you…And I want you to know that I did everything humanly possible to make sure those three prizes were there and available to give away to each of you.”
She returned to Instagram on Saturday for a second video in which the businesswoman offered to refund anyone who purchased the course.
The promotion included a number of prizes, including a luxury country house. A $10 million waterfront home (pictured) in Sydney’s Cronulla could be up for grabs for people who signed up for Brand Bootcamp
