The former glamour model has been charged with assault after an incident with her neighbour allegedly in a row over her animals
Jodie Marsh has been charged with assault after an incident with her neighbour allegedly in a row over her animals.
The former glamour model, who runs Fripps Farm rescue centre in Lindsell, Essex, said she “lost it” and “put her hands on his neck” amid claims she felt harassed by her neighbour, who she said filmed her animals.
Jodie, who is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, is charged with common assault, and a public order offence involving the use of “threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence.”
Describing the confrontation, she told The Sun: “I put my hand on his neck because I leaned in to whisper to him. I can’t even remember what I said because I was so upset. It lasted around 30 seconds.”
An Essex Police spokesman told The Mirror: “At around 12.40pm on Friday 16 January officers were called to an address in Lindsell to reports of a woman behaving aggressively towards a man and assaulting him.
“It was further reported that verbal threats were made. As a result of further enquiries, charges of common assault and using threatening/abusive/insulting words or behaviour have since been authorised against Jodie Marsh, 47, of Lindsell. She is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Friday 17 April.”
Fripps Farm states that it’s home to over 250 animals including alpacas, emus and reptiles, many of which have been saved from slaughter.
The website reads: “Jodie gives a loving home to animals that are either unwanted or in danger of being put to sleep or slaughtered.”
Jodie has had her fair share of drama among her neighbours over the years since taking over the farm. In January, her farm burst into flames, killing two of her adored animals. Within the blaze, Jodie also lost her valuable belongings as the house went up following an electrical fault.
Most recently she won a court battle to keep her Lemurs. The former glamour model had appealed the council’s decision to refuse her application for a wild animal licence, and it looked as though the court battle had taken its toll as she walked out of court visibly emotional.
Eyebrows were also raised after she took her meerkat to her local pub. And Jodie believed at the time that trolls were behind the concerns over the rescue animals at her farm.
