Former television personality Andrew O’Keefe has addressed his latest charges after facing court for allegedly breaching the conditions of his bail.

According to a statement by police, O’Keefe was arrested at a Vaucluse property on the morning of Thursday, November 24.

“About 10.40am today officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command attended a home at Vaucluse and spoke to the occupant, a 51-year-old man,” police said in a statement.

“He was arrested and taken to Waverley Police Station where he was charged with breach of bail.”

O’Keefe appeared in Waverley Local Court on Thursday afternoon where the court heard that the 51-year-old had allegedly failed a drug test after police claimed to have discovered a man allegedly carrying drugs leaving the Vaucluse house.

O’Keefe’s barrister Sebastian De Brennan argued that the drug test could have potentially been contaminated.

Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge granted O’Keefe’s bail under strict conditions and warned O’Keefe to choose his company “very, very carefully” as per The Daily Mail.

Outside of court, O’Keefe addressed a throng of reporters where he vented his frustration with the legal system and defended himself against the charges.

“You don’t get to hear the story,” he told reporters.

“The thing about the justice system is that we get no time to prepare as the defendant.”

He was then asked about the alleged failed drug test.

“That’s what we discovered in court today, that there’s a high probability of contamination,” he replied.

O’Keefe’s latest run-in with the law comes after he was arrested and charged for the alleged assault of a woman in a Sydney apartment earlier this year.

Police allege that a man grabbed the woman by the throat, pushed her to the ground and punched her.

O’Keefe was arrested on Thursday, January 27 in relation to this incident and was later charged with two counts of ‘intentionally choking a person without consent’, three counts of ‘common assault’ and one count of ‘assault occasioning actual bodily harm’.

“A verbal argument ensued between the pair, before the man allegedly assaulted the woman — grabbing her by the throat, pushing her to the ground and punching her,” a police statement said.

“The man allegedly assaulted the woman a second time — punching and kicking her — before she left the unit.”
