Roxy Jacenko's Sweaty Betty offices paint-bombed by vandals in latest attack

 For the second time in three months, controversial Sydney socialite and publicist Roxy Jacenko's new multimillion-dollar offices have been attacked by vandals.

The beige building, home to Jacenko's business, Sweaty Betty, was splattered with red and blue paint, which appeared to have been delivered in dyed globs that had been thrown at the facade and windows.

Police were called to the Paddington address on Friday morning, while workers were frantically trying to remove the paint.

Jacenko's $300,000 Bentley convertible was parked outside the offices since early on Friday.

A security guard was stationed outside the building on Friday morning.

In April, PS revealed the front door of the office had been smeared with faeces of unknown provenance, the foul-smelling brown sludge poured into the mail box and all over the intercom, the stench creating much unease among neighbours in the upmarket suburb.

Following that attack, the mail box was removed within hours, as was the intercom system, while a high-tech array of security cameras has since been installed around the building.

However, it is unclear if the cameras would have picked up the culprits of the latest attack, given the globs appear to have been thrown from some distance.

The latest attack follows the much publicised release from Cooma prison of her husband, convicted insider trader, Oliver Curtis, and his reunion with Jacenko and their two young children, all played out on her social media feed.

Jacenko and Curtis' marriage has come under considerable scrutiny over the past 12 months, following revelations Jacenko and her former lover, millionaire property developer Nabil Gazal jnr, had reunited while Curtis was in jail.

Photos of Jacenko and Gazal kissing just weeks before Curtis was due for release caused yet another media storm in the life of the headline-making publicist.

However, Jacenko and Curtis, along with their social media celebrity children, appeared to be a united family last week as they went on a luxurious holiday to Bali.

The family have since returned to Sydney, to be greeted by the paint bombs.

Jacenko has not responded to calls about Friday's attack.
