Katie Hopkins has denied that she ever breached hotel quarantine in Sydney prior to her deportation from Australia in July.
The far-right British pundit, 46, was kicked out of the country with a $1,000 fine after posting a bizarre video detailing her plans to break quarantine by opening her door to food deliveries naked and without a mask.
However in a lengthy video uploaded to her Instagram on Saturday, Katie claimed she never broke the rules - and says she was subject to 'harassment' from officials.

'I am in quarantine and Australia has gone crazy and we have every politician ever having their say, no one in Australia has anything else to talk about other than me being naked, which I wasn't, and it just went crazy.
'So they started this kind of campaign of harassment,' she said in the clip.
She went on: 'All of a sudden having done nothing at all to break any rules whatsoever I had calls in the middle of the night telling me that I had an incident of repeatedly opening my door.
'I said, 'I didn't repeatedly open my door, I wouldn't, I know the rules, I wouldn't break them'.
Katie then denied she leaned into a hotel corridor without her mask on, on July 16, for which she was fined.

Claiming innocence: 'I didn't repeatedly open my door, I wouldn't, I know the rules, I wouldn't break them' she insisted. Katie then denied she leaned into a hotel corridor without her mask on, on July 16, for which she was fined
'They alleged the reason I was deported from Australia was the allegation, unproven, that I leaned into an empty hotel corridor, like leaned, without wearing a face mask.
'Quarter to nine on a Friday evening I leaned into a corridor allegedly without wearing a face mask.'
Katie claimed she was 'harassed' by hourly calls from officials through the night which she says kept her awake, before being visited by men, 'in full PCR blue hospital plastic, plastic, plastic, visor, mask, mask, masks and they had cameras.'
She says she was rushed from her room and thrown out of the country by 'men in black' on July 19.
'I was given 10 minutes warning by the police telling me I was being picked up and taken out of that room, ten minutes to be ready to get on a plane home,' she said.
Late calls? Katie claimed she was 'harassed' by hourly calls from officials through the night which she says kept her awake, before being visited by men, 'in full PCR blue hospital plastic, plastic, plastic, visor, mask, mask, masks and they had cameras'
Packed off: She says she was rushed from her room and thrown out of the country by 'men in black' on July 19. 'I was given 10 minutes warning by the police telling me I was being picked up and taken out of that room, ten minutes to be ready to get on a plane home,' she said
'And then they came and picked me up in a police wagon supervised by men in black suits and threw me on a plane.'
In the videos, the controversial media personality waved her $1000 fine at the camera, while repeatedly denying she ever breached quarantine.
'If you see any headlines saying was naked or broke quarantine or any of that, it is all bulls**t, it is all here on this piece of paper and they fined me $1000 for it' she said.
Hopkins was paid $200,000 and flown to Sydney by Channel Seven to appear on Australian Big Brother VIP, of which she is a former winner back home in Britain, before her deportation.

They included refusing to wear a mask and surprising staff by opening her door while stark naked when they delivered her food.
Earlier this week, Katie claimed Australia is in a 'dark place' with Covid lockdowns.
Now safely back in the UK after being frogmarched to the airport, Hopkins hit out at Australia's coronavirus strategy in a new video on YouTube on Monday.
'An Australian update from me Katie Hopkins,' the controversial anti-lockdown campaigner begins while siting in front of a mashup of the US and British flags.
'I think I can safely say from very personal experience that Australia is in a very dark place indeed,' she continued.
Darkness? Earlier this week, Katie claimed Australia is in a 'dark place' with Covid lockdowns. 'The different premiers of the different states seem to be competing as to who can treat their citizens the most harshly' she said
'The different premiers of the different states seem to be competing as to who can treat their citizens the most harshly.'
Hopkins claimed state premiers had reverted the country back to a 'penal colony' with lockdowns in four states since her departure.
She in particular slammed Sydney's 'never-ending' lockdown, restrictions on shopping, exercising, and compulsory social distancing in the four-minute tirade.
The social commentator then turned her attention to Queensland and criticised the state government for calling a lockdown over fewer than 20 cases.
Hopkins said while the premiers were competing on who can be the toughest, there was one thing on which they agreed.
Anger: The Covid sceptic also vented her outrage that her 'friends at Sky News' were banned from YouTube for a week for 'speaking things that go against the government narrative'
The TV personality said state leaders agreed the way out of the lockdown was with a vaccine, citing Gladys Berejiklian's target of six million jabs by the end of August.
She said the NSW premier was only willing to release residents from the stay-at-home orders after half her state rolled up their sleeves for a jab.
Hopkins went express outrage over helicopters hovering above peoples' homes in western Sydney to ensure they remained at their home address.
She then tried to compare Australia's 'stringent' lockdown with the second amendment in the US that gives Americans' the right to keep and bear arms.
'This couldn't happen in America,' she explained.
Theories: The personality, who has previously called Covid lockdowns 'the greatest hoax in human history, continues to take on Australia's stay-at-home orders as a cause since being kicked out of Australia
'This can't happen in states that uphold their second amendment because you couldn't just send police and the army door-to-door to check if people are imprisoned in their own homes against their will.'
Hopkins said the amendment gave citizen's freedoms to defend their own homes.
The Covid sceptic also vented her outrage that her 'friends at Sky News' were banned from YouTube for a week for 'speaking things that go against the government narrative'.
YouTube blocked the Australian TV channel after 'numerous' videos violated the tech giant's medical misinformation policies.
Sky News promoted content that denied the existence of Covid-19 and spruiked controversial treatments that aren't backed by science.
Hopkins instead claimed the ban was used to scare producers and media channels into becoming more compliant in the kind of Covid-19 content they posted.

'And of course, I guess I'm an example of that as well,' Hopkins said. 'Don't speak out, or we will deport your a**.'
The commentator concluded her monologue by questioning who could challenge Australia's political leaders if certain individuals and media channels were not allowed to speak on the 'dark direction' Australia was heading in.
'Is this really still a functioning democracy or is this more of a dictatorship? And has Australia really got freedom for its citizens?' she asked.
'Has Australia reverted to being a penal colony where the prisoners are in fact Australians themselves?'
The scathing tirade comes after Hopkins blasted Australian authorities on Instagram and attempted to spark a 'free Australia' viral trend.
'I will not relent. I will not back down. I will not apologise. Australians must be set free. #FreeAustralia,' she wrote on several Instagram posts last week.
Claims: Katie has tried to claim her humiliating deportation from Australia as a victory, telling her supporters on Instagram she will never be 'silenced' after being sent back to the UK for joking about breaching hotel quarantine in Sydney
Hopkins' comments while in hotel quarantine led to a huge backlash.
'The police officer who checked me in told me when they knock on my door I have to wait 30 seconds until I can open the door,' she said in an Instagram Live video while breaking out into hysterics.
Hopkins said she was 'lying in wait' to 'spring [the door] open and frighten the s*** out of them and do it naked with no face mask.'
The controversial British social commentator boarded a Singapore Airlines flight from Sydney on July 19 after her 'critical skills' visa was torn up by the Federal Government.
She continues try and claim her humiliating deportation as a victory, also telling her supporters she will never be 'silenced'.
Hopkins rose to fame after starring on The Apprentice in the UK in 2007 and is known for her contentious views on race, sex, class, obesity and migration.
