Suzi Taylor, who rose to fame in the 2015 season of The Block, has had her bail refused for allegedly extorting a man and punching him in the face after arranging their meeting through an online dating app.

Police allege Ms Taylor arranged for the 33-year-old man to come to her home in the inner-Brisbane suburb of New Farm on Wednesday.

When he arrived just after midnight, Ms Taylor, 49, allegedly demanded money from him.

When he did not comply, her co-accused Ali Ebrahimi, 22, allegedly entered the room and assaulted the man and held him against his will.

The court heard Ms Taylor, a former Penthouse model, allegedly joined her co-accused in kicking the man, as well as punching him multiple times in the face, while yelling "give me my money, give me my money".

She and Mr Ebrahimi then allegedly forced him to undertake an online transaction, stole his bank card and withdrew a sum of money.

They were charged with one count each of extortion with intent to gain benefit with threat of detriment, deprivation of liberty, assault occasioning bodily harm and possessing dangerous drugs.

Police opposed bail, with the magistrate ruling her risk of re-offending as "simply unacceptable".

The court heard Ms Taylor was on Monday charged over an unrelated incident, including burglary and trespassing.



She is also facing a number of unrelated traffic offences from last month, including drink driving, providing a false name to police and obstructing officers by attempting to remove her handcuffs.

Ms Taylor, whose full name is Sue Ellen Jan Taylor, had her back turned to the media as she sat in the dock, hiding her face.

Her lawyer tried to argue her co-accused was the principle offender in relation to the assault charge.

But the court heard they both beat the alleged victim continuously for about one minute.

The magistrate said the extortion charge also had an "undercurrent of threats and acts of violence".

Mr Ebrahimi also appeared briefly in court this morning and made no application for bail.

His matter was adjourned until November 25.
