Former WAG and influencer Bec Judd has recalled how a recent trip to a store in New Zealand backfired in an embarrassing way.
Judd, who is married to former AFL player Chris Judd, took to Instagram on Thursday to reveal she had been excited to try a bottle of Wairau River rosé while she was in New Zealand for a family event.
But, when she and sister Kate approached the counter, the staff member said asked to see ID – but neither sister had any on them.
“Then she took it from us because Kate and I didn’t have ID,” Judd said, accompanied by a video of the alcohol sitting on the counter.
“I said we’re old enough to have 18-year-old children.”
Later on, she posted a selfie with her sister joking that there were just “a couple under-agers trying to get rosé”.
Presumably they managed to go back to the store with their ID because the video ended with them enjoying a glass of the wine.
Judd is on holiday with her family, including her husband and the couple’s four children – Oscar, Billie, Tom and Darcy.
In New Zealand, like Australia, people purchasing alcohol who look like they may be under 25 can be asked for identification.
Although stores such as Countdown (the New Zealand equivalent of Woolworths) have this as an official policy, in 2017 staff were told they can ask for ID from anyone who looks under the age of 30.
In New Zealand, alcohol is available to purchase in supermarkets, like Judd appears to be in.
It comes after Judd chimed in once again on the amount of crime near her home in Melbourne’s cashed-up suburb of Brighton amid a new warning to locals.
She made the comments on Instagram after road signs warned residents to lock down their home security.
“Nothing to see in Briiiiiiighton [sic]. Just a lazy 578 per cent increase in aggravated burglaries (i.e. home invasions),” Judd wrote.
Judd, who owns a $7.3 million mansion in the area, made waves last year after saying she felt “unsafe” following a spike in “rapes, bashings and home invasions”.
Judd took to Instagram at the time to accuse the Victorian Government of allowing crime to get out of hand in the Bayside area.
However, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews retorted by saying he’s “not interested in having an argument with Ms Judd” after she claimed the State Government didn’t care about Brighton residents’ safety concerns.
Data from Victoria’s Crime Statistics Agency revealed Bayside’s total number of criminal incidents was 12.9 per cent higher in 2022 compared with 2021.
