For three days, Bruce Lehrmann has been partying with a group of glamorous women seen at his home, brandishing bottles of alcohol and parading around without shoes.
But WhatsNew2Day Australia can reveal Mr Lehrmann’s weekday festivities have angered his new neighbors on Sydney’s north shore, with locals complaining about “screaming” women and “selfish” parking arrangements. .
Mr Lehrmann’s controversial week of partying began on Tuesday night when he was spotted in a burgundy jacket, flanked by two glamorous women, outside his new apartment.
Moments after Federal Court Judge Michael Lee set a new sentencing date in her blockbuster defamation case, Lehrmann and her friends charged through the rain and jumped into the back of an Uber, one of them drinking from a can. .
On Wednesday, the party continued when another group of women entered the same property, including a blonde who made her media debut in March when she appeared barefoot with a vaporizer on the balcony of her former home in Balgowlah.
She approached the house on Wednesday wearing a thigh-high slit black dress and black stiletto heels, while juggling car keys, a phone, a bottle of gin and a half-drunk bottle of scotch.
And on Thursday, shortly after noon, another crowd shuffled into the house with cases of alcohol.
A frustrated neighbor told WhatsNew2Day Australia that for the last “three or four weekends” there have been raging parties at the property ending at 6.30am.

“It’s not loud music, it’s mostly continuous music with the girls screaming and shouting along with Tina Turner,” they said.
‘They’re constantly saying bad words, it’s ‘s-this’ and ‘s-that’.’
Another neighbor accused guests of parking on the sidewalk and across driveways, which she said “is selfish for parents pushing strollers.”
“It’s quite intrusive because they already have a two-car garage to park in,” they said.
It is unclear whether Lehrmann lives at the property alone or with a roommate, or if this is a temporary arrangement while he finds a more permanent option.
Channel Seven had covered the $2,000-a-week rent on the Balgowlah property for a year in exchange for exclusive interviews on the network’s Spotlight programme, but the year is now up.
Wednesday night’s meeting also included two women who arrived dressed in sportswear and holding hands as they walked through the door. Then a friend in a black padded vest arrived with another bottle of liquor.
Lehrmann’s partying habits were put under the microscope last week when former Channel Seven employee Taylor Auerbach made a series of wild claims in the Federal Court.

She is the same woman who appeared on her balcony in Balgowlah, barefoot and holding a vape pen.
On Wednesday, two more women in sports clothes arrived at Mr. Lehrmann’s new house.
Among them were accusations that the network’s Spotlight program had paid for Lehrmann’s cocaine, Thai massages and lavish meals in an attempt to lure him into exclusive interviews.
She gave the court what were allegedly receipts from bars and brothels accumulated during her time as Mr. Lehrmann’s “nanny,” amounting to more than $10,000. Channel Seven has denied the claims.
Lehrmann previously told the court that the network only covered his lodging expenses for one year, which amounted to about $105,000, and reasonable travel expenses for filming.
On Monday morning, Judge Michael Lee will hand down his ruling in Mr Lehrmann’s defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.
She launched defamation proceedings over an episode of The Project in February 2021, during which Brittany Higgins first went public with her rape allegations in an interview with Wilkinson.
Higgins alleged Lehrmann raped her in Parliament in March 2019, when they were both Liberal Party employees.
He was not named in the broadcast, but claimed that friends and colleagues were able to identify him as the alleged rapist. He has always maintained his innocence.
The month-long trial was held in December.
