She’s the five-year-old Instagram star who is usually never short of a smile.
But 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon told The Daily Telegraph Roxy Jacenko’s young daughter Pixie Curtis is ‘really struggling’ since her father was jailed for insider trading.
Oliver Curtis was sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison in June – and even his wife Roxy predicted his absence would take a toll on their children.
Roxy Jacenko’s five-year-old daughter Pixie Curtis is reported to be ‘really struggling’ with her father Oliver Curtis’ imprisonment, according to 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon
In a character reference presented to the court during Oliver’s trial, the PR maven claimed children Pixie and Hunter, two, were dependent on their father.
‘Pixie and Hunter adore their dad. He’s fun, tolerant, uncomplaining and loving,’ she wrote.
‘They screech with excitement as soon as they see him and no one else matters to them – not even me.’
All smiles? Oliver’s imprisonment is apparently taking its toll on Pixie – as Roxy confirmed neither Hunter (R) or Pixie will be allowed to see their father behind bars
‘She’s quite defiant’: 60 Minutes reporter Allison Langdon (pictured) says Roxy is also aware of the impact her children’s Instagram accounts have on the family’s public image
Roxy told friends last month that she will never take her young children to see their father while he remains in prison, reported the Daily Telegraph.
Both Hunter and Pixie feature in commercial Instagram accounts ran by their mother. Pixie’s is often used to market her accessory business.
And while Roxy has considered the link between their high profile and the criticism the family has received, she does not regret her actions.

‘She’s certainly happy to investigate that and talk about what she thinks her role in it all is,’ Allison said.
‘But I walked away from (the interview) with the feeling that she’s quite defiant.’
