Stylist To The Stars 'Keyed' Ex's Car During Drunken Domestic

A stylist to the stars 'keyed' her ex-boyfriend's car during a drunken late-night domestic during which she called 999, wrongly believing she had been locked in the vehicle.

Sharon Marie Ridoynauth, 42, has styled pop star Ellie Goulding and rapper Tinie Tempah for music videos and photo shoots.

She has worked for Cosmopolitan, Esquire and the Sunday Times Style magazine and other celebrity clients include model Naomi Campbell, actress Sienna Miller and Grammy award-winning singer Kelly Rowland.

Ridoynauth, of Ashleigh House, Curtis Field Road, Streatham pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage to Dwight Graves-Andy's black 1.8 litre Toyota Avensis outside her home on April 10.

Prosecutor Mr. Brinkman May told Camberwell Green Magistrates Court it was 1.08am when Ridoynauth phoned the police.

"It was during an argument with her ex-partner and she called the police to tell them she had been locked inside the vehicle.

"That was not the case, in fact Mr. Graves-Andy had left the area leaving the car unlocked.

"When the officers arrived she was out of the car, clearly drunk and nearly falling over and told them she thought she had been locked in the vehicle."

Officers left, but there was a second call thirty minutes later from a witness who reported Ridoynauth 'keying' the car.

There were scratch marks to the bonnet, boot and side of the vehicle.

Ridoynauth was questioned by police and immediately admitted causing the damage, explaining there was a disagreement with her former partner.

He later estimated the damage to be £1,000.

Ridoynauth was conditionally discharged for six months and ordered to pay £300 compensation to Mr. Graves-Andy, plus £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

She was Ellie Goulding's personal stylist on the video shoot for the star's first UK Number One hit 'Burn'.
