Sickening details emerge of how 'H' was carved into the leg of victim of Tammy Hembrow's brother 'by three other men' after he was arrested
The victim of Tammy Hembrow 's half-brother Henri Thynne has spoken out following his release from prison this week. Thynne, 21, a bodybuilder who boasted that he 'hasn't missed a set of curls in three years', was charged with 17 domestic violence-related offences involving a young woman last year. He admitted to charges including common assault, stalking and two counts of strangulation in the Brisbane District Court on Thursday, where a judge described him as a 'menace'. Thynne was sentenced to a maximum three years in prison, but was released on parole on Thursday after serving time in custody at Queensland's high security Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre. He was handed three years in jail but was released on parole the same day, after already serving time in custody. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Henri's victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared on Channel Nine's A Current Affair on Thursday night, where she detailed another harrowing incident that occurred while Thynne was behind bars. She claimed that she was set upon and 'absolutely beaten up' by three men while heading home one evening. 'I was driving home from the gym and I had someone crash into the back of my car,' the victim said. 'I got out and these guys just got out of the car and started walking towards me.' In a sickening attack, the victim then claimed she was assaulted by the men, who punched her in the face and even attacked her with a razor blade. 'I got absolutely beaten up by these three guys,' she said. 'I got my face smashed in.' 'They ripped my trakkies open and got a razor blade and carved a H into my leg.' The victim then claimed after the attack she was left by the side of the road in the rain. She claimed that she was set upon and 'absolutely beaten up' by three men while heading home from the gym one evening When ACA asked the victim if she knew her attackers, she claimed she had a good idea. 'We're all pretty certain - we know what's happening. We're just trying to link it to those certain people,' she said. Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Henri Thynne was involved in the alleged attack. Elsewhere in the candid interview, the victim admitted that she feared for her life during her time with Henri. 'On the night he strangled me really badly, I thought I was going to die,' she said. 'He ruined me. I'm never going to be the same person that I was before the abuse ever again.' She also opened up about her relationship with Thynne, saying that his increasingly controlling behaviour, which included the need for the victim to seek permission to have her hair and nails done, quickly turned physical. 'I was getting ready to go to the gym with him. I said to him, do you like my leggings? And he like flipped off and got so angry at me, pushed me on the bed and then he just ripped my pants,' she said. 'He was saying things like, "If you want to dress like a s*** then I'll treat you like a s***". 'He had grabbed me by the throat and pushed me against the wall because I didn't let him have sex with me.' She added: 'My friend called the police because she was worried for my safety. I had messaged her saying Henri just hurt me, I need you to come pick me up and that's when he smashed my phone.' The victim's admission comes after she read a powerful impact statement during Thynne's hearing on Thursday. 'I question my safety in everyday situations. This experience has left lasting marks on my life,' she began. '(Before the assaults) I was a happy, confident and expressive person through my personality, social media and network interactions with other people.' The court heard she was now so fearful that she packed up and moved interstate twice. 'Since experiencing the abuse and assaults from him, I have changed. 'I had to relocate homes two times in two different states to attempt to feel safe, but no matter where I went, it was flooded with anxiety and fear that I would be confronted by him.' Thynne showed little emotion while sitting in the dock, occasionally rocking back and forth with his head to the ground. Defence barrister Greg McGuire said the couple had an 'odd' relationship with both of them being bodybuilders who used steroids during their relationship. A medical report stated that Thynne had diminished emotional control and impaired judgement due to severe steroid use since the age of 16. Soon after sentencing concluded the victim posted a stark warning on her social media page. 'Lock your doors!! A criminal has been set free in Brisbane even after pleading guilty to everything!' the post began. 'Pre warning - he pleaded guilty to sexual assault, assault, strangulation x2 and unlawful charges like breaches of the DVO (domestic violence order) and bail and still got released on parole!' 'Law legislation needs some work… this is not acceptable and best believe it will not be the last time you hear from me about it,' she concluded. In recent months, Thynne's crimes have caused grief for his high-profile half-sibling Tammy Hembrow, 31, who faced fierce public backlash last month after publicly denying rumours she was supporting him. In a TikTok clip that has since clocked more than two million views, Hembrow denied that she bailed out her younger brother, stating she's not involved in 'any of the legal situation'. 'I don't usually address things like this, but this is a very serious topic, and what's being said about me is just not true,' she said. 'Firstly, I have had no involvement whatsoever in ever bailing my little brother out of anything. 'I'm not involved in any of the legal situation. I've [had] no contact with my brother. I haven't seen my brother. I'm not involved at all, in any way. So I wanted to make that clear.' She then explained that she doesn't condone 'violence in any form' and reiterated that her 'heart goes out to everyone involved'.

How a tabloid dog attracted the attention of the ABC's crack current affairs unit
The case of Oscar, the million-dollar celebrity cavoodle who has launched several very long, costly and acrimonious legal battles, has been a subject of rich satisfaction to CBD and its readers. Quick recap – Sydney barrister Gina Edwards successfully sued Nine (owner of this masthead per the usual disclaimers) over an episode of A Current Affair that portrayed her as a 'dog thief'. Edwards is now locked in a dispute with her former solicitor Rebekah Giles, a pugnacious defamation specialist well-known to readers of this column, concerning legal costs. Now an unexpected plot twist. The case caught the attention of an unlikely player – none other than our public broadcaster, which must be the first time the ABC has sought to follow up an ACA tabloid banger. Journalists from the ABC's highfalutin Background Briefing, who clearly haven't been avidly glued to this column, became aware of the case after dropping in on a talk given by in-demand defamation barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC, who was Edwards' counsel in the case against Nine. They subsequently tried to get their hands on an affidavit in the costs dispute filed by Giles' firm Giles George. In turn, the firm opposed the ABC's access request, and sought a suppression order prohibiting disclosure of the document. Giles George argued in written submissions that releasing it would reveal commercially sensitive information and served no legitimate public interest. This was rejected by Federal Court Justice Michael Wigney, who ordered its release on Tuesday. A win for open justice! But the wheels of justice turn far more slowly than the news cycle. By the time Wigney had ordered the document's release to the ABC, Background Briefing's episode on defamation laws had already been broadcast weeks ago, with no mention of poor Oscar the Cavoodle, who is taking this snub like a very good boy. Still, the dispute between Edwards and her former lawyers is far from resolved, despite Giles George briefly drafting in seasoned silk Arthur Moses, SC, to attend mediation sessions between the parties, which have so far gone nowhere. Edwards also accused Giles of 'witness-coaching' her during last year's defamation trial (a claim denied by her former lawyer) and has made a complaint to the Law Society of NSW over the costs agreement.

"I am never going to live this down, I'm surrounded by my idols," said Rushton, apologising. After the announcement, Blake told reporters that as the only male nominee, he actually didn't want to win.

Voting for the popular awards opened Monday morning, with the ballot for the Gold Logie open during the awards presentation itself.
