Mystery Aussie influencer who filed for bankruptcy is unmasked – as document confirming her debts is made public
The mystery surrounding the Australian fitness influencer who filed for bankruptcy has been solved after her identity was revealed in an official document.
Rumours were abuzz last week about which social media celebrity was in financial strife, and now it can be reported the woman in question is Christie Swadling.
She was named after an anonymous user on the Tattle Life gossip forums paid $15 to obtain the publicly available paperwork on Ms Swadling’s bankruptcy filing.

Ms Swadling, a 29-year-old fitness influencer and YouTuber, listed her job as an ‘advertising and marketing professional’ in the paperwork filed on December 29.
The status of her bankruptcy is ‘undischarged’, which means she will still need to pay back particular debts.
It also means she will not be able to borrow again from financial institutions without the disclosure of her bankruptcy.

The release of the debtor’s petition did not specify the outstanding debts.
The document was published on Tattle Life after a user decided to pay the $15 clerical fee to settle the speculation about the mystery bankruptcy once and for all.
‘Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Best $15 spent,’ they wrote.

‘Public register states she has been bankrupt since December 29. She probably got approval to leave for Bali but chances of her travelling again are slim to none.’
It comes after the Instagram gossip account Dutch Minty shared a redacted version of the filing last week, with the influencer’s name censored.
There is no minimum amount owed for an individual to claim bankruptcy.Â

According to the Australian Financial Securities Authority, a creditor must be seeking $10,000 or more to apply to make you bankrupt.
Swadling, who boasts 117,000 followers on Instagram, raised eyebrows just days before her filing when she was busted using a slimming app to transform her figure in a Christmas-themed Instagram video.
The clip showed the glamorous blonde shaking her hips seductively while clutching a wine glass in front of her Christmas tree.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a bizarre, warping effect around her midsection – a tell-tale sign that editing software was used to make her waist appear slimmer.
The app glitched noticeably as Christie moved closer to the camera, causing some vases and a portion of the tree in the background to bend out of shape.
The blunder was first spotted by Instagram ‘snark’ account @Celeb_Spellcheck, which re-shared the clip among other examples of influencer fails.
