“She needed a job and I needed someone to help me with an event coming up,” Maxine told reporter Tineka Everaardt from Las Vegas.Club owner Maxine Fenson speaks with A Current Affair's Tineka Everaardt.
Maxine said she paid Gibson $25 an hour to help organise and market an adult industry awards night, however, the successful business owner said she was shocked to learn that Gibson had locked her out of her online industry account after the event.“I tried to get her to at least apologise and put it out in the open. I just wish she would do that, I think that would be great and give some sort of comfort for the people who have been hurt by her.
$45,000 of that was on discretionary spending and a further $13,000 was splashed on clothes, makeup and accessories instead of paying the fine imposed by Consumer Affairs. When asked if she had considered cutting back on this spending to repay the fine in part, Gibson replied “no.” Consumer Affairs have six months to push for Belle Gibson to be declared bankrupt, or re-examine her.
