Eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher guilty of cocaine possession

Double Bay brow guru Kristin Fisher told The Daily Telegraph she had no idea she was meant to face court – and will now attempt to have the decision overturned.

Eastern suburbs socialite Kristin Fisher has vowed to try to fight a court’s decision to give her a criminal conviction after she was busted buying cocaine from a Bondi drug dealer.

Fisher, 36, was in the middle of a Saturday night drug deal on Curlewis Street on July 17, when her drug dealer illegally overtook another vehicle - unaware police were behind her.

When officers pulled the white Kia Rio over they spotted Fisher – who is also known by her married name Barnes – sitting in the backseat, and noticed two bags of cocaine at her feet.

Court documents state Fisher was “frantic in the passenger seat, attempting to leave the vehicle and evade police interaction”.

But the leading beautician whose eyebrow parlour in Double Bay is a regular stop for many of Sydney’s rich and famous told The Daily Telegraph she had no idea she was meant to face Waverley Local Court on Tuesday – and will now attempt to have the conviction annulled.

“Kristin wasn’t aware the matter was before the court and if she was aware, she would have attended,” Fisher’s solicitor Michael Bowe said.

“She’s spoken to me and I’ve said I will now file an application tomorrow to annul the conviction.”

Two bags of cocaine were discovered at Fisher’s feet.

Court documents stated that while police initially pulled over Fisher’s dealer because of her reckless driving, it was the beautician’s behaviour in the backseat that made them suspicious as to what else had unfolded.

Officers then asked the driver to tell them about her high-profile passenger.

“The driver was unable to provide details of the accused (Fisher) within her vehicle as to her name, how she knew her and what they were doing,” court papers state.

During ongoing discussions with officers Fisher admitted she had been picked up from her Double Bay home after arranging to collect cocaine.

She claimed that the deal had been arranged by a friend and that no cash changed hands.

In addition to the charge of possessing a prohibited drug, Fisher was also fined for failing to comply with COVID-19 public health orders having left home without a reasonable excuse.

Magistrate Ross Hudson recorded a conviction on her record and fined her $550.
