Influencer Christie Swadling carries a vape and a $2,800 Louis Vuitton handbag to court for a financial examination after filing for bankruptcy
Influencer Christie Swadling appeared downcast as she arrived at the Toronto Local Court in Lake Macquarie on Thursday for an examination of her finances.
The 27-year-old YouTuber and fitness model filed for bankruptcy last year, and her day in court was to evaluate her property and financial circumstances as a means of satisfying the judgement debt.
She carried a Louis Vuitton handbag worth a jaw-dropping $2,840 as she prepared for the examination to determine her ability to repay her debts.
Clutching a vape in one hand, Swadling was supported by her heavily tattooed boyfriend Joel Price as she rocked up to the courthouse in a black dress with a perilously high thigh split.
The social media personality tried unsuccessfully to protect herself from the rain by holding a book over her head.

It was revealed in February that Swadling was bankrupt after an anonymous user on the Tattle Life forums paid $15 to obtain the paperwork on her bankruptcy filing.
She listed her job as an 'advertising and marketing professional' in the paperwork filed on December 29.
The status of her bankruptcy was 'undischarged', which meant she would still need to pay back particular debts.

It also meant she would 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, and the results of her financial examination on Thursday are unclear.
Swadling's courthouse appearance comes days after she was mocked online for sharing her 'money-saving tips' despite filing for bankruptcy last year.

She shared advice on Instagram on how to save money in a video advertisement for a cashback company.
Influencer watchdog account Dutch Minty reposted the video alongside her bankruptcy filing.
'Bankrupt Christie giving out savings tips!' the admin captioned the post.
Swadling was roasted in the comments section, with followers pointing out the 'irony' of the partnership.
