(Author’s Note: Please read until the final paragraph to discover the heartbreaking location where the housekeeper found Jo’s "emergency stash.")
throughout the trial of her son, Tom Silvagni, Jo Silvagni was the anchor.
She was the picture of stoic grace.
She wore immaculate suits. She hid her eyes behind designer sunglasses. She never let a single tear fall in front of the cameras.
But according to devastating new reports, that composure was nothing more than a mask.
And behind the high walls of the family’s Toorak estate, the mask has allegedly slipped, revealing a woman in the grip of a spiraling addiction.
A former housekeeper, who worked for the family for over a decade before quitting last month, has broken her silence.
Speaking under the pseudonym "Maria," she describes a household descending into chaos.
"The public saw the strong mother," Maria told our reporters.
"I saw the woman who couldn't start her day without a 'coffee' that smelled like pure vodka."
Maria claims that as the legal proceedings against Tom intensified, so did Jo’s drinking.
But it wasn't social drinking. It was secretive. It was desperate.
"I started finding bottles everywhere," Maria claimed.
"Empty gin bottles wrapped in towels at the back of the linen closet.
Miniature whiskey bottles hidden inside empty containers of fabric softener in the laundry room."
The aim was clear: to hide the extent of her collapse from her husband, Stephen, and the outside world.
But the cracks began to show at night.
Neighbors have reported hearing raised voices coming from the Silvagni gardens in the early hours of the morning.
Maria confirms this, describing terrifying scenes of Jo wandering the manicured lawns at 2:00 AM.
"She would be in her nightgown, barefoot in the cold, holding a glass," Maria said.
"She wasn't talking to anyone. She was talking to the air. She was screaming at Stephen."
In these drunken monologues, Jo reportedly poured out her resentment.
She allegedly blamed Stephen’s cold perfectionism for Tom’s downfall.
"You pushed him too hard!" she was heard screaming at the moon one Tuesday night.
"You made him this way! It’s your fault, not mine!"
The next morning, Jo would appear at breakfast, pale and shaking, pretending nothing had happened.
She would blame her tremors on "nerves" or "insomnia."
But the staff knew better.
They watched as the lady of the house slowly disintegrated, using alcohol to numb the pain of her son’s monstrous crimes and the destruction of her family’s legacy.
She is trying to keep up appearances for the cameras.
But inside the empty mansion, the silence is deafening, and the bottles are piling up.
THE SHOCKING FINAL DETAIL: Maria revealed that the breaking point came when she was cleaning Tom’s old bedroom, which had been left untouched since his arrest. Inside a dusty box of Lego from his childhood, she found a half-empty bottle of cheap brandy. Jo had been sitting on the floor, drinking amidst her son's innocent toys, trying to remember the boy he used to be before he became a predator.
