Jodie Marsh’s £1m farm raided by RSPCA after she took her MEERKAT to the pub
JODIE Marsh has revealed her farm was raided by animal investigators over claims she took her MEERKAT to the pub.
The ex-glamour model, 44, filmed RSPCA and Trading Standards investigators yesterday as they stood at the entrance to her £1million farm where she keeps 250 rescued animals.
She confirmed she had taken her pet meerkat Mabel to the pub – but claimed it was for good reason.
Jodie has now blasted safety officers for probing her when the animal – and her other pets – are clearly well cared for.
The 44-year-old today claimed she was being targeted by “cruel trolls” who are trying to wreck her animal charity, which cares for emus, llamas and goats, guinea pigs and ponies.
She told The Sun: “I went to my local pub the Dukes Head briefly and took her with me because she cried if I left her- she was with me 24 hours a day.
“No-one made a fuss or complained about her – everyone is very supportive but I have a troll – I think it’s a woman – who is just out to cause trouble.
“The teams looked over the rescue centre and asked about the meerkat incident.
“I explained that she had been orphaned and I was rearing her and she needed regular feeding every hour.”
Jodie said the farm, which she funds with OnlyFans, recently underwent its official inspection by the animal authorities – “passed with flying colours”.
She continued: “One of our vets wrote to say how well we look and care for our animals and birds that we have here – and gave us their full support.
“But this campaign against me is taking its toll – I have been forced to pull out of a vegan festival in Oxford this summer because of threats.
Jodie added: “Every penny I make from my Onlyfans website also goes to keep the charity – it costs £4,000 a week to keep it going”
The ex-glamour model recently took to Instagram over the drama.
There, she blasted officers for looking into claims an emu there had a tube stuck in its neck – which she said was, in fact, a feeding tube helping save its life.
She also claimed she was being quizzed over keeping a wild muntjac deer at the property – but protested she had been nursing it after it fell into a local swimming pool.

Marsh – who has faced stalker chaos in the past – claimed she was the victim of an alleged stalker lying to officials.
She fumed she could be arrested over the claims as animal rights officers attended the farm in Essex, for two hours on Wednesday.
Filming the raid on her Instagram reels, Marsh blasted: “We have just had 2 full hours of our day wasted by the RSPCA, APHA and some woman from trading standards.
“And it’s all because of my obsessed lunatic stalker. They turned up here mob-handed and demanded to see our animals.”
She added: “They have been here for an hour because they have had reports an emu is in distress because it has a tube down its neck.
“As you all know emu would have died if we had not tube fed her.
“The vet came round, the vet showed us what to do and we put all our time and effort into getting her better and she now eats by herself.”
The RSPCA confirmed they were called to attend a Trading Standards-led operation but were not required to enter the property.
Essex County Council – which runs Trading Standards for the area – said it had been unable to establish what happened at the property.
