She is due back in court on May 14 after missing her last bankruptcy hearing. She will appear before a specialist bankruptcy court in London where she would answer questions about her finances.
Late last month, the star stated that she was not able to appear due to medical reasons. She reportedly provided evidence for why she couldn't attend. At the hearing, lawyers for the trustees of the star's first bankruptcy reportedly stated that she should be put “on notice” and could be arrested if she didn’t attend in the future.
