A BUDDING Hollywood starlet allegedly stormed into a South Yarra home armed and in full camouflage gear but left her tooth behind, a court has heard.
Aysen Unlu, 39, has been banned from associating with any members of the Mongols outlaw motorcycle club after being bailed over the home invasion.
Known by her “working name” Janet Campbell, the Port Melbourne woman’s website and social media pages are riddled with pictures of her rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, including world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, rapper Ja Rule and model Kris Smith.
The so-called model, dancer and host boasts of having worked as a stunt double in Hollywood movies to celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Lopez.
She also claims to have hosted events with Kim Kardashian and at the Playboy mansion, and claims to have toured as a dancer with big names Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears and Snoop Dogg.
Ms Unlu, who has a two-year-old son, also offers motivational speaking.
Sen-Det Tony Myers told the court Mongol's sergeant-at-arms Shane Bowden, who lives in the same apartment block as Ms Unlu, held a large knife and demanded money after entering the room of a sleeping couple.
Ms Unlu allegedly used a shifter to hit the head of a 32-year-old male, who then punched her in the face.
Bowden allegedly stabbed the man and his brother, who intervened after hearing the female scream, in the hand with a Rambo-style Bowie hunting knife.
Tendons in one man’s hand were severed.
After they were handed around $700 cash, the duo fled, but they were found hiding behind a tree less than a kilometre from the home, the court heard.
Sen-Det Myers said Ms Unlu’s injuries included a black eye and a broken tooth.
Part of a tooth was located at the home and a night-vision camera and camouflage booties were found nearby, he said.
The charges against Ms Unlu include aggravated burglary with an offensive weapon, intentionally causing serious injury and assault.
Defence counsel Sarah Pratt said the fact Ms Unlu — who denied being at the Davis St home during the aggravated burglary — cried when police told her a man was stabbed during the violent home invasion did not indicate her guilt.
Ms Unlu was in protective custody since her arrest on January 20 because prison officers could not ensure her safety after her bikie links became public, Melbourne Magistrates’ Court heard.
Ms Pratt said her client’s mental state had deteriorated in protective custody, her young son needed medical attention and there was no evidence she was associated other members of the bikie gang.
The magistrate granted bail on strict conditions, including a nigh-time curfew, saying it was significant that the alleged crime was not linked to bikie gang operations and that Mr Bowden was still in custody.
The duo will appear in court for a mention hearing in April.
