‘Greedy’ Roxy Jacenko is slammed for hoarding 22 bottles of detergent during the coronavirus pandemic – as trolls say she’s the reason why ‘people can’t buy a roll of toilet paper’
Roxy Jacenko showed off her delivery of 22 bottles laundry detergent on Wednesday – but not everybody was impressed.
The publicist’s social media followers slammed her for hoarding while ordinary Australians struggle to find essentials during the coronavirus pandemic.
In the footage shared to Instagram, Roxy revealed she had bought almost two dozen bottles of Biozet Attack liquid detergent in five different varieties.

Fans were shocked to see the businesswoman, 39, ‘bragging’ about her stockpiling efforts, calling Roxy ‘narcissistic’ and ‘greedy’.
One person commented: ‘Disappointing. Encouraging people to buy products in bulk then the government is urging us to be sensible.
‘Think of the people who can’t afford to buy hundreds of dollars worth of anything. It’s because of people like you, the less fortunate cannot buy a roll of toilet paper. Shame.’

Another added: ‘Judging by some of the comments, it appears you should really consult with a PR professional before you brag about your bulk buy of laundry liquid whilst the rest of Australia are limited to supplies and purchasing quantities.’
A third follower wrote: ‘What a selfish and out-of-touch narcissist. Same goes for the dense people supporting you.’
‘You are stockpiling. Exactly what the Australian government told us not to do,’ read a similar comment.
Meanwhile, several people wanted to know how she had managed to bulk order detergent when supplies are running low.

‘That’s what I use and I can’t find it anywhere,’ one wrote.
Another fan asked: ‘Where did you order from? None on our shelves.’
‘So lucky to be able to do laundry. Spare a thought for all the NYC people in lockdown running out of clean underwear,’ a third pointed out.
One fan reminded negative commenters that the ‘PR queen’ wasn’t ‘stupid’ and would likely be donating.

Too much? ‘Now, you see, I won’t get stuck like the rest of people only concerned about toilet paper! And no, it’s not sponsored, I am very particular about my laundry liquid,’ Roxy said in the caption
In the video, Roxy said: ‘I’ve made a bit of an installation with my favourite delivery.’
The mother-of-two added: ‘Biozet Attack + Softener, Eliminator and one that no home should be without, Quick Wash. Yep, the simple things right now that bring such joy.’
