- Ms Elissa set record straight in TikTok video, says she's been in Bondi whole time
A shocked Instagram model claims Sydney police confronted her at her door after she posted a throwback photo of herself on holidays.
Dominique Elissa, 25, is among millions of Sydneysiders who spent the past three weeks in lockdown due to a horror coronavirus outbreak.
Stay-at-home orders kept the bored Bondi swimsuit model very active on her Instagram, sharing posts and videos of her daily walks, fitness workouts, and home-baked treats with her 213,000 followers.
But sharing a sultry throwback shot last Thursday of herself posing at a beach in Jervis Bay, 200km away on the NSW south coast, sparked concerns from followers.
They assumed Ms Ellissa breached public health orders by travelling to regional NSW during lockdown and alerted the police to the potential breach.

Ms Elissa recalled her encounter with the surprise visitors who knocked on her door four days later in a TikTok video captioned 'can't believed this happened'.
'The weirdest thing just happened, two police just rocked up at our house and needed to check I was here because they've gotten multiple complaints from people saying I am in Jervis Bay,' Ms Elissa explained in the video.
'I posted a throwback like a few days ago and I'm literally in so much shock that people went to the extent to call the police.'

Ms Elissa ended the video by setting the record straight and 'thanking' those who alerted authorities.
'I have been posting in Bondi every single day walking but yes, thank you for your concerns,' she laughed.
'Honestly, they have nothing better to do,' she replied to a comment on her video incredulous that the police bothered to check up on her.

It's not known when the throwback photo was taken, which shows the stunning swimsuit model in a bikini and daggy footwear posing on a beach.
'Don't care what anyone says, crocs are a vibe,' Ms Elissa captioned the photo.
NSW Police told Daily Mail Australia it wasn't able to provide any details about the case.
'Police across the state act on information from the public concerning people who may be in breach of the current health orders,' it said.
Sydney and surrounding regions will remain in lockdown until at least July 30 as NSW recorded 78 new cases on Tuesday.
