It was meant to be a relaxing getaway from the drama that has followed her since she appeared on the controversial TV show Married At First Sight.
MAFS’ TRACEY HITS ROck BOTTOM
But Tracey Jewel’s infamous European holiday with exboyfriend Patrick Kedemos ended abruptly after the trip didn’t go to plan – and now the reality TV star reveals she’s been admitted to a mental health clinic after overdosing while stranded in Berlin.
‘I went into a head spin,’ the tearful reality star tells New Idea in an exclusive interview. ‘I just didn’t see a way out of the current situation.’
‘I’ve been bullied and cybertrolled relentlessly, pretty much all year,’ she explains, adding the online trolling became particularly bad when she was touring Australia with her book.
‘I’m not someone who has a history of depression, but I started getting help in April because the psychologist said I might have post-traumatic stress disorder because of everything I’d been through.’
There’s no doubt it’s been a challenging year for Tracey – who dumped cheating on-screen beau Dean Wells at the altar in the season finale of MAFS, only to move on quickly to fellow cast member Sean Thomsen.
That romance lasted six months – before she reconnected with old flame Patrick.
But that dalliance ended in disaster too – after the couple’s five-week European break saw their relationship crumble.
