INSTA-FAMOUS Gold Coaster Allaina Vader was naked and tackled to the ground by police when they raided her house yesterday.
Vader, 27, and her ex-bikie boyfriend Ben ‘Notorious’ Geppert were both denied bail when they fronted Southport Magistrate’s Court this morning.
Vader, whose real name is Allaina Jones was arrested after she allegedly beat a woman during a road rage attack at Robina on May 17.
Defence lawyer Ashkan Tai, of Ashkan Tai Lawyers, told the court when police raided her house yesterday, Vader was naked and requested to be given time to get dressed as only male officers were present.

She was wrestled to the ground by a male officer.
Mr Tai told the court the woman in the May 17 incident had approached Vader first and knocked on her window following the traffic incident.
“In the police evidence it demonstrates the victim has approached her first,” he said.
“It’s not just a case of road rage.”
Vader is also charged with obstructing police.
Magistrate Brian Kucks denied bail.
“Due to the seriousness of the offence that you have been charged with and the strong evidence I am of the opinion there is an unacceptable risk,” he said.
“Bail is refused.”
Geppert, a former Hells Angels member, was been denied bail for drugs charges and making threatening phone calls.
Geppert, 26, appeared in Southport Magistrates Court minutes after Vader, was denied bail for an alleged road rage incident.
Police allege Geppert, an air conditioning technician, obstructed police when they raided his Robina home yesterday morning.
Defence lawyer Ashkan Tai, of Ashkan Tai Lawyers, said it was out of concern for his girlfriend.
“My client saw his naked partner being wrestled to the ground by a male police officer,” he said.
Mr Tai said Geppert did not make threats to the officers.
He said officers were taunting Geppert about being on steroids.
“He responded: ‘Take my handcuffs off if you are going to be tough guys.’”
Magistrate Brian Kucks denied bail due to Geppert’s criminal history and the fact he is on a suspended sentence.
The matter will return to court on May 29.
