PR Queen Roxy Jacenko made a candid confession about her tumultuous school years.

During Tuesday’s episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the Aussie business woman revealed she was booted out of an elite private girls’ school in Sydney’s east.

“I went to three different all-girls schools. I got thrown out of one. I did a few things,” the mum-of-two said.

The Sweaty Betty PR founder was kicked out of school after an argument with an art teacher over refusing to clean up after herself.

In another incident, Jacenko took leave without permission which prompted the school to expel her.

The famed publicist then opened up about being bullied, saying people don’t realise the impact it has.

“I repeated year one. I was cross-eyed. I was the perfect candidate,” she reflected on being teased at school.

Jacenko, an ambassador for the streaming service Stan, appeared on the radio program to promote the new series Bad Behaviour.

The socialite said Bad Behaviour is an important show for parents to watch as it highlights the dog-eat-dog attitude of some schools.

“It’s cool to be kind, but it’s only later in life [that you realise],” she said.

“I remember these scenarios in school myself.

“I do look back... it’s actually how it is. Pixie [her daughter] does come home from school and says ‘one said this’ and this ‘one said that’.

“Kids can be mean – and it’s only getting worse with social media.”

Jacenko and her husband Oliver Curtis share two children – Pixie, 11, and Hunter, 8.

Earlier this week, Pixie made headlines when it was announced she was “semi-retiring” in preparation to start high school.

“Pixie has decided to hang her online toy store shoes up to focus on her impending entry into high school,” Jacenko told news.com.au.

The Sydney mum explained that the decision wasn’t made lightly and it was made together as a family.

“In short, over the past few months, we have been discussing the business plans going forward as a family and decided that while it has been an amazing journey starting some three years ago, it was time to refocus with high school just around the corner,” she said.

“While the Pixie’s Pix online store will remain, it will go back to how it began in 2011 – as the best destination for children’s hair accessories and hair bows known as Pixie’s bows – something that we will continue to manage together but with a lot less time/pressure for Pixie.”

The schoolgirl, who boasts over 120,000 followers on Instagram, first went into business when she was just a baby, when Roxy launched Pixies Bows in her name.

The pre-teen later launched Pixies Fidgets with Jacenko’s help, after the sensory toy took over playgrounds around the country.

It was a huge success, with the colourful bubble-popping toys selling out in the first 48 hours and earning more than $200,000 in its first month of operation.
