Andrew O’Keefe arrested after being revived, hospitalised in latest incident.

Former Seven star Andrew O’Keefe was hospitalised on the weekend after NSW Ambulance paramedics rendered assistance.

Media reports allege he had to be revived after a drug overdose at a party at a home in Vaucluse.

“NSW Ambulance paramedics rendered assistance to the man before taking him to St Vincent’s Hospital where he is reported to be in a stable condition,” NSW Police said in a statement.

“Officers attached to Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command were called to a home unit on Old South head Road at Vaucluse about 3.40am (Saturday 14 September 2024), responding to concerns for the welfare of a 52-year-old man.”

“Inquiries into the incident are continuing,” added police.

He has since been released.

O’Keefe was found guilty by a magistrate in January of common assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and breaching an apprehended violence order after a “violent and degrading” incident against the woman inside a unit in Sydney’s east in September 2021.

Last week he lost an appeal against his convictions for domestic violence after a judge found he has a tendency to spit at the woman in a “low, demeaning act” and that her injuries were consistent with being kicked, pushed and scratched.

It was the latest in a long list of court appearances for the fallen star.

In December 2023, O’Keefe avoided court after he pleaded guilty to driving with drugs in his system.
