After a series of elimination rounds Barry, along with Belinda Chapple, Sophie Monk, Sally Polihronas and Katie Underwood were chosen to form a group and moved in together in Sydney to work on their debut single "Poison".

However after only a few weeks Barry was asked to resign from the nascent, still-unnamed girl group after stealing money from Sophie Monk, but the reason for her departure was not revealed at the time.

Subsequently she was paid $1000 and offered a solo record deal to leave the group and to stay silent on the matter at the time, leading to the widespread speculation over her firing.

[3] Barry has appeared in several independent films and in small roles on the television series Water Rats, General Hospital, Entourage, How I Met Your Mother, The Paul Reiser Show and NCIS.

In 2016, she played Ava Thorne in the Oculus Rift video game Edge of Nowhere,[8] and is credited as the voice of the "Narrator" in an episode of the 2018 Netflix series Disjointed.
