Roxy Jacenko‘s full letter to the NSW Supreme Court asking Justice Lucy McCallum to spare her husband jail time details the complicated childcare arrangements of the high-powered couple including their difficulties securing a new nanny.
Yesterday we reported that Jacenko had written a letter to the judge asking that her husband Oliver Curtis not be jailed as he was the “primary carer” of Pixie, 4, and Hunter, 2, and Jacenko’s work at her firm Sweaty Betty PR would be harmed should he be imprisoned.
Curtis is facing five years behind bars for insider trading.
Read Roxy's submission to the court.
In her three page letter to the court Jacenko details the fact her current nanny, Camille Sweeney, who looks after a multitude of duties, and holidays with the couple to give them time to work and relax, has resigned and has not yet been replaced.
“Our current nanny, who attends to the school drop off and pick up of the kids as well as general shopping has been with us for some time as she completed her nursing studies. She also travelled with us on family holidays so that I can continue to work remotely and so that Oli can have a break,” writes Jacenko.
“However, she is leaving us in August to pursue a full-time nursing career. This has been a pre-planned arrangement that we have known about for some time. We have advertised on multiple employment sites for a suitable replacement and are still attempting to find someone who can work the hours required, and provide a longer term commitment.”
Jacenko describes her husband as a reliable, honest and hard-working family man who acts as primary carer for their children while she juggles her successful PR business.

Another Roxy Jacenko bashing by the purported hero of working women. It is a disgrace that you have this undying need to drag this woman down. Why? Why Mia? You put yourself on Tele, especially Channel nine any chance you get, sprouting your 'I'm a perfect example of a 'new age' working perfect self effacing mum. No, you're not. You are an example of the new age anti working mum, you are a fake and you should be ashamed for your underlying reason for undermining Roxy Jacenko. I would gladly sit opposite you and challenge your reason for constantly trying to bring her down..
I think what most of you fail to realise is that Roxy (nor her family) have never asked nor expected you to feel sorry for her.
If you put aside the wealth, instagramming, and media-BS (which really have no bearing on whether Curtis goes to jail or not) - what you have left, seems to be a hard working woman, who loves her husband, and doesn't want to break up their family.
Of course she is going to do everything she can to avoid losing him, she is his wife and the mother of his children.
You're absolutely correct. Somewhere along the way we missed the point. Oli committed a serious felony and as such he should take it like a man and cop it sweet. Irrespective of what his devoted and loving wife may feel.
PS: hoping the above reference to taking it like a man is perceived as sexist. It is not. Oli is a man, he should accept whatever punishment is dishes his way. Simple.
