Mystery of who defaced PR maven Roxy Jacenko’s office
Who dislikes Sydney PR maven Roxy Jacenko so much they would risk being captured on CCTV cameras painting “Roxy is a c**t” in huge black lettering on the front of her Paddington office building?
It’s the mystery that is captivating Sydney's eastern suburbs social set and brought police to Roxy Jacenko's door last week.
Who so dislikes the Sydney PR maven and one time reality TV star they would risk being captured on CCTV cameras painting “Roxy is a c**t” in huge black lettering on the front of Jacenko's Paddington office building?
And is it the same person who smeared the building with what appeared and smelled like poo over the Easter weekend of 2017?
Police face a daunting task finding the perpetrator with Jacenko having well-documented clashes with a raft of rival publicists, former employees, media and family members during her 15 years in the PR game.
It might be far easier for police to draft a list of those who still call Jacenko friend rather than those who don't.
Sunday Confidential today recalls some of Jacenko's most memorable fallouts and stresses none on this list is suspected of tagging the PR's Paddington office.
It's the fifth time one of Jacenko's properties have been vandalised.

Sara Huegill
They have an on-again off-again relationship but there’s been plenty of bad blood between PR Huegill, estranged wife of swimmer Geoff Huegill, and Roxy over the years.
