In May, Roxy Jacenko had an unexplained three-day hiatus from Instagram – something previously unheard of for the PR specialist.
Now, the 37-year-old has broken her silence on the break, revealing for the first time that she was having a ‘breakdown’ at the time.
‘I basically lost my marbles,’ she told The Daily Telegraph on Saturday, revealing she crashed her car and forgot where she’d left her kids.

According to the newspaper, the pressure of the Sweaty Betty founder’s relationship and health issues were partially responsible for the incident.
It’s believed Roxy was still involved in a ‘relationship’ with former flame Nabil Gazal at the time, while her husband Oliver Curtis was serving a year in jail.
‘I crashed my car, I took my children (Pixie, 6 and Hunter, 3) to my parents-in-law and forgot they were there,’ she told the publication.

‘A doctor came to me, it was that bad. I cannot remember four days of my life.’
On May 30, the PR maven returned to Instagram, although her re-entry raised more concern than fanfare.
In the post, Roxy was pictured sitting in a cab, looking a little drained, while fans in the comments noticed she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.

The Instagram account the socialite manages for little Pixie also went silent for a rare three-day stretch that also ended on the same day.
A source with knowledge of Roxy’s situation confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that her Instagram hiatus came at the same time as her ‘breakdown.’
The mother-of-two also confirmed to The Daily Telegraph on Saturday that she had a ‘relationship’ with Sydney Property developer Nabil while Oliver was in jail.
According to the publication, the rekindled romance lasted until just days before Oliver completed his one-year sentence for insider trading.
