Lisa Robertson was taken into custody and charged yesterday afternoon for the alleged attack of three peace officers. The ex-Qantas stewardess made international headlines in 2007 when she had sex with film star Ralph Fiennes on a flight from Darwin to India.

Police were called out to what they believed was a domestic dispute in Southbank about 2pm in which Robertson was alleged to be involved.

Senior Constable Karla Dennis said: “When police were removing her from the situation she [allegedly] attacked two of the officers.”

She added that a third alleged assault took place at the police station. Robertson, who is due to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court this morning, has said the mile-high sex ruined her life. She was recently in court for bankruptcy issues and was last year charged with the alleged assault of a woman outside a St Kilda restaurant.

The former undercover police officer last year admitted to turning to prostitution while working as a stewardess part-time because she was unable to make her rent. She claimed a life of depression that included suicidal tendencies.

The woman, Lisa Cherie Robertson, was fired from her stewardess job and in the past was a police officer and a one-time call girl. She pleaded guilty yesterday to keeping the funds hidden from trustees who sought repayment of debts of $460,000.

She told a Melbourne Magistrates court that she lived like a hermit “trying to live down her past”.

Robertson, 41, who is bankrupt, also pleaded guilty to attempting to leave Australia for a holiday in Thailand despite being banned from international travel because she was bankrupt.

Her lawyer said she suffered from depression since disarming a policeman who shot and killed a fellow officer in New South Wales. After leaving the force, she sued NSW police but lost the case and was ordered to pay Crown legal costs of AUD$300,000, which put her into bankruptcy.

After she was paid for the sex story in 2007, Robertson put the funds into an international account. Her lawyer said she was conned out of the money.

Ralph Fiennes has been cast as Coriolanus in a modern-day film adaptation of the Shakespearean play that will also star heart-throb Gerard Butler.

Coriolanus marks Fiennes's directorial debut, while up and coming Butler will tackle the part of Tullus Aufidius. Fiennes said: "It’s thrilling that Gerard Butler is going to play Tullus Aufidius in Coriolanus. He has an extraordinary dynamic and commanding presence which is perfect for the role of Coriolanus's sworn enemy and nemesis."

Sparks are sure to fly between the pair, who will be accompanied by a stellar cast that includes Vanessa Redgrave, William Hurt and Eddie Marsan.

Coriolanus is scheduled to start shooting in Serbia in March.
