Boob job offer
Nicola Charles’ character Sarah Beaumont is remembered for her scandalous affair with Karl Kennedy on Neighbours.
But since leaving the show, which she starred in from 1995 to 2016, the Brit actor has made a slew of bleak allegations about the way she was treated.
In 2020, she alleged that a producer offered to pay for a boob job and suggested she leak naked pictures.
“I was patted on the knee in a very condescending way and told you can always leak photos of yourself after you wrap with the show to boost your image,” the 51-year-old told the Herald Sun.
“It’s from days of old that one, naked photos leaked online. This is the same Neighbours’ producer who said to me, ‘Would you like me to buy you a set of t**s?’
“I said no thank you, I plan on breastfeeding. He said, ‘It’s fine, I’ve done it for all the other girls,’ and I said, ‘Really, I’m okay, thank you’.”
And in her forthcoming memoir, Soap Star, Charles alleges that two of her Neighbours co-stars tried to have her deported from Australia.
She says she found a handwritten note to the immigration department complaining that her employment was taking a potential job away from an Aussie actor.
“I did know who they were, the individuals who did it, but I thought — who goes to that length, and what have I done to be disliked that much?” she writes.
