A glamorous Sydney socialite who recently crashed her SUV into multiple parked cars after a boozy lunch has apparently caught the attention of Married At First Sight producers.
Vanessa Jacobs Fennell, 54, was recently charged with refusing to submit to breath analysis, assaulting a police officer and property damage offences following the incident.
But that didn’t seem to stop producers of the hit Channel Nine series from reaching out to the blonde beauty—who was once shortlisted for Real Housewives of Sydney—with another chance at reality TV fame, Confidential reported on Saturday.
The publication claimed MAFS scouts, ‘intrigued by her presence and charisma’, contacted the socialite through social media to establish her interest.
It was suggested preliminary talks had shown promise, with Vanessa’s confidence ‘captivating producers’.
However, as the talks progressed, it became apparent Vanessa was not a good fit for the reality juggernaut.

The reason? A source claimed Vanessa’s bar for finding her forever love was set too high for the producers’ liking—while those close to her reportedly said she would never want to appear on a show like MAFS.
‘She’s the kind of person who lights up a room, but she’s not someone you can just slot into a TV experiment. She wouldn’t play by the rules,’ the insider said.
Vanessa, a mum of two, is very much single after recently ending her relationship with prominent Melbourne businessman Nathan Sable.
The two are believed to have been a couple until a few weeks before Valentine’s Day when things suddenly cooled.
Before dating Nathan, Vanessa was married to private equity banker Tom Fennell, who coincidentally lives a stone’s throw away from the site where she crashed her car.
Daily Mail has reached out to Channel Nine for comment.
These claims come after Vanessa learned her fate following the boozy lunch which saw her crash her SUV into multiple parked cars and allegedly assault a police officer.
Vanessa was driving around Bellevue Hill in her black SUV when she allegedly crashed into a parked car, at about 7pm on Friday, March 21.

Footage from the arrest showed two officers frogmarching her from the scene.
The socialite had not yet been cuffed as police escorted her and, at one point, she appeared to try to free her arm from an officer’s grip before allegedly slapping the officer.
Vanessa was taken to Waverley Police Station, where she was charged with refusing to submit to breath analysis, assaulting a police officer and property damage offences.
Vanessa appeared in Waverley Local Court on Monday, where she was ordered to pay $1,300 in fines and was disqualified from driving for six months, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
She escaped having a conviction recorded for assaulting the officer and was granted a conditional release order for one year.
She told Daily Mail she was ‘profoundly remorseful and regretful’ but said she ‘remained dignified,’ and that ‘every human being should be allowed to make a mistake‘.
Vanessa was due to be sentenced earlier this month but the matter was delayed when her lawyers applied to have her case dealt with under mental health provisions.
Presiding Magistrate Kirk Dailly rejected Vanessa’s mental health request, known as a section 14 application, on Monday.

Vanessa’s lawyer previously told the court her client had experienced significant stress towards the end of last year and suffered dissociation.
The socialite is understood to have previously lost two young children and suffered a sudden break-up shortly before the incident.
Her legal team also claimed the mother-of-two had been prescribed antidepressants only three days before the incident, which they claimed contributed to ‘increased intoxication’ and other adverse reactions.
Vanessa was usually careful to avoid drink-driving but had become confused as a result of the medication, her legal team said.
