EXCLUSIVE The Bachelors star Marjorie Griffiths could spend Christmas in jail after being charged with allegedly supplying 1kg of cocaine and 1kg in methamphetamine. Police allege the dating show contestant, who is known for flaunting her bikini body on Instagram, is a major player in an international drug syndicate and was personally involved in dealing with $814,870 from the proceeds of crime. Court papers seen by Daily Mail Australia allege the 26-year-old supplied 1kg of cocaine on March 7 and 1kg of ice exactly three months later, on June 7, both at Hornsby in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
