Jailed investment banker Oliver Curtis was reportedly placed into lockdown after an altercation with fellow inmates at Cooma Correctional Centre last month.
According to The Daily Telegraph, the 31-year-old husband of PR mogul Roxy Jacenko was involved in an argument that saw him confined to his cell for 24 hours.
A source at the minimum security prison told the outlet Curtis squared up to an inmate that was ‘ranting at him’.
“Another inmate stepped in to calm things down before all three of them were locked down in their cells for 24 hours as a warning,” the source said.
The facility confirmed that the fight occurred, and said no one was injured.
His wife of five years Roxy Jacenko this morning played down the incident when she was pressed on the issue in an interview on Channel Nine’s Today Extra.
“I mean, who doesn’t have altercations?” Jacenko said laughing, “I know I’ve had a few of them… But, you know, in life people argue, people have issues.”
Roxy Jacenko’s awkward response to news of her jailed husband’s prison fight.
Oliver curtis received a 24-hour punishment after clashing with another prisoner.
“But he’s alright, yeah?” David Campbell asked again.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes,” Jacenko said, nodding her head vigorously.
