FORMER model and actor Kate Fischer has accused Victorian police of being “bullies” as she considers fighting drink-driving charges.

The 44-year-old, now legally known as Tziporah Malkah, is accused of driving while intoxicated at Toorak in Melbourne’s inner-east on January 3.

It’s also alleged she refused a breath test after an accident, drove carelessly, reversed in an unsafe manner, and stopped on a nature strip.

The former flame of billionaire James Packer, who appeared in the 1993 film Sirens, had shunned the spotlight for years, living quietly in Toorak before appearing on reality show I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!

Malkah appeared in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today facing seven charges, and indicated she may contest some or all of them.

The court was told she was “extremely unhappy” with the way police acted on the night of the allegations.

“Vic Pol are bullies,” she told reporters as she left, without providing details of what happened. “You’ll find out. You’ll find out.”

Defence lawyer Michael Kuzilny said there was “certain procedural conduct she was not happy with”.

The case was adjourned while Malkah considers her legal options and reviews evidence, including video footage taken by another driver.

Earlier today, defence lawyer Michael Kuzilny said his client was likely to plead guilty, but she wanted some time to discuss the matters.

The reality TV contestant faced court in Melbourne for driving matters.

Magistrate David Starvaggi this morning told Malkah she may be disqualified from driving, but she will not be locked up.

“This should be done today. She’s not going to jail,” he said.

Malkah said she wanted to see CCTV footage of the alleged incident but Mr Starvaggi pointed out it was actually video taken by a driver.

The former pin-up model and actor has featured on the cover of Vogue four times and was engaged to billionaire James Packer in the 1990s.

She also appeared alongside Hugh Grant in the saucy 1994 film Sirens but more recently she has worked in aged care.

Born in Adelaide with Jewish ancestry, she changed her name to Tziporah Malkah in her 20s and converted to Judaism.

Her bail was extended and she is due to return to court on December 15.
