A model and aspiring social media influencer has allegedly been captured on CCTV throwing a lamp at her ex-boyfriend inside a swanky restaurant.
A model and aspiring social media influencer has allegedly been captured on camera throwing a lamp at her ex-boyfriend inside one of Sydney’s swankiest restaurants.
Natalie Marangos, 34, allegedly assaulted her ex-boyfriend Dean Contos, 37, at Tanuki restaurant in Double Bay just before midnight on Saturday.
Mr Contos was dining with another woman when Ms Marangos allegedly grabbed a lamp from a restaurant table and hurled it at his face.
He allgedly sustained facial injuries. Ms Marangos had left the scene by the time police arrived.
Her lawyer Kiki Kyriacou on Wednesday told Sydney Downing Centre Local Court that there was surveillance footage of the incident.
He said he needed to inspect the CCTV and “investigate further material” before the matter could proceed.
“I’m not sure how the matter will progress until I view the footage,” Mr Kyriacou said.
He said his client was also an alleged victim of a crime involving Mr Contos, who is due to face court this week for four domestic violence charges.
According to court records, Mr Contos has been charged with choking a person without consent, intimidation, and two counts of contravening an apprehended domestic violence order taken out to protect Ms Marangos.
He has not yet entered pleas to the charges.
Mr Kyriacou indicated he was considering making an application to dismiss the charges against Ms Marangos on mental health grounds, which would require a report from a psychiatrist or psychologist.
Magistrate Jennifer Atkinson agreed to grant a three week adjournment.
Ms Marangos did not comment as she walked out of the courthouse on Wednesday.
