I don’t believe it works like that.” Brooke’s first public comments about the abuse follow those made by Matthew’s other ex, actress Rachael Taylor, in 2014, when she told Australian Woman’s Weekly she’d struggled for years and felt “ashamed” after becoming a victim of domestic violence. Brooke, who has since found happiness with her…

‘I caught him sending dick pics to some girl’ Until last week Lizzi Evans was deeply in love with her boyfriend Gable Tostee. While Australia was getting to know Gable through his sensational murder trial, after the 2014 death of his Tinder date Warriena Wright, Lizzi was discovering a man she describes as “sweet”, “tender”, “thoughtful” and “intelligent”.

When Gable was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter in October, Lizzi cried tears of relief. But weeks later, things went horribly wrong. “It was one night about four weeks…
