Renovation star-turned-prostitute Suzi Taylor emerges for the first time since she was granted bail while facing drug-trafficking charges

The Block contestant-turned-prostitute Suzi Taylor has made a surprise return to social media after she was granted bail while facing drug-trafficking charges.

The 53-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of herself posing for a selfie with her ‘best friend’ and ‘saviour’ that has helped her through her darkest times.

‘I have had my best friend walk beside me thru every storm never leaving my side,’ she captioned the post alongside her pet dog.

‘My brave little companion has shown more courage loyalty & love than I could ever imagine.’

Suzi looked happy and relaxed following a beachside stroll, posing alongside her beloved dog on the sand.

Suzi recently faced a Brisbane court over a bizarre ‘honey trap’ kidnapping, the details of which had the whole television industry aghast.

The former reality star and her co-accused Ali Ebrahimi were eventually cleared on all charges, including extortion, deprivation of liberty, fraud and assault, and we do not suggest either of them committed a crime.

But the accusations were alarming, to say the least, drawing attention to the fact Suzi, just five years after her sudden rise to fame, was clearly a troubled woman earning a living as a prostitute.

That was 2020 – now it’s 2025 and she continues to face legal troubles.

In March, she pleaded guilty to charges of trespassing, stealing and common assault but escaped jail and only had to pay a fine.

She had forced entry into a home the previous October, demanding property from someone who was no longer living there. She pushed a woman then fled on an e-scooter with a shopping bag full of stolen goods.

At the time, Suzi had just been released from prison where she’d served 50 days for evading police.

 She is currently on bail facing drug-trafficking charges and only recently had another conviction for meth possession added to her rap sheet.

The last time Suzi had lucidly opened up about her personal life was in her final social media post for 2024 in which she revealed she was estranged from her three children, aged in their teens and twenties.

She said her downfall had forced her to redefine what family is, and expressed hope for a more positive 2025. Fate had different plans for her.

Taking to Instagram at the time, the former Block star revealed she is still estranged from her three children Bella, 20, Zac, 18, and Alex, 16, following ‘years’ of legal woes.

Posting a selfie to her followers, Taylor shared the past few years, which have seen her mired in legal woes, had taught her a ‘heartbreaking lesson’.

‘The past few years have been filled with heartbreak. Losing loved ones, the absence of my children in my life,’ she began the expansive post.

She claimed family members had cut ties with her due to exaggerated media reports without ‘ever seeking 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 Taylor admitting 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 have learned that family isn’t always defined by blood; it can be the unexpected souls who step in during our darkest moments,’ Taylor said.

Finishing the expansive post, Taylor said she was hopeful for a more positive 2025.

‘As we enter 2025, I carry with me the lessons of the past and the hope for brighter days ahead,’ she said.

‘Here’s to healing, new connections, and redefining what family means. May this year bring us all the strength to embrace the love that truly matters. #newbeginnings’
