Socialite's Mom Posts Bail to Keep Daughter Out of Jail
7 Jan
Summary
- Brynne Edelsten faces drug charges, including meth and ketamine trafficking.
- Her mother flew from the US to post a $5,000 cash guarantee for bail.

- She was allegedly caught with meth, ketamine, and a date rape drug.
- Her mother could forfeit cash if Edelsten breaches bail conditions.
Socialite Brynne Edelsten appeared in Melbourne Magistrates' Court to face serious drug charges, including trafficking methamphetamine and ketamine. Her mother, Mariel Gordon, traveled from the United States to provide a $5,000 cash guarantee to keep Edelsten out of custody. If Edelsten breaches her bail conditions, her mother risks losing the posted cash.
Edelsten, 42, was allegedly found with meth, ketamine, and a date rape drug at her Fitzroy apartment on December 29, 2025. She was bailed the following day, with conditions including surrendering her passport and reporting to police three times weekly. These charges follow an alleged smuggling operation where parcels containing meth were sent from Victoria to Tasmania.
Once living in million-dollar properties, Edelsten's life has changed dramatically. She now resides in a $300-a-week apartment in Fitzroy, a stark contrast to her past luxury. Edelsten is scheduled to appear in court again on April 21, 2026.
