Bride and Prejudice Australia 2019‘s Dannii Erskine has been outed for allegedly faking a THIRD car accident and tormenting people with a suicide hoax.
The 28-year-old has been the centre of headlines in recent weeks after she revealed herself to be alive after her loved ones seemingly confirmed her death in a fatal car accident in April.
However, several sources have claimed Dannii is no stranger to “faking” her death, having attempted to con loved ones in 2022.
Now, Lauren Ciseau, the sister of Dannii’s co-star James Ciseau, has spoken out against the reality star, claiming she “put her through hell” after tormenting her with alleged information about her family
**CONTENT WARNING: The following discusses death, suicide and miscarriage, and may be distressing to some readers.
ICYMI: James died in a fatal car accident in November 2021. His wife, Tori, later committed suicide on January 1, 2023.
In episode 291 of the So Dramatic! podcast, Lauren said she first met Dannii on the set of Bride and Prejudice.
However, she had no contact with her until early February 2023, when Dannii messaged her mother.
What happened when Dannii Erskine contacted Lauren Ciseau’s mother?
“Dannii contacted my mum… via text message and she actually said that she had a box of things regarding Tori and James that was sent by Tori,” Lauren explained.
Dannii alleged that it was sent before Tori’s death and that she “received it in the post after she had passed away”.
Lauren told host Megan Pustetto that her mum attempted to get in touch with Dannii via phone call and several messages.
“My mum showed me the messages because she said she had no response from her,” she added.
Lauren said she could “confirm that this is the same phone number” she later used to communicate with Dannii.
She decided to take over communication as her mother was still dealing with the fallout of James and Tori’s deaths.
Then, on February 7, 2023, she contacted Dannii via Instagram, given her mum had “no luck” via her phone number.
“She wrote back pretty much straightaway and claimed that she had never received any missed call from my mum, or any text messages,” Lauren said.
What did Bride and Prejudice‘s Dannii Erskine tell Lauren Ciseau?
In screenshots provided to So Dramatic!, Lauren wrote: “Hi Dannii hope you are well.
“Did you message my mum telling her you had a box of legal things and usb’s etc [sic] of James and Tori?”
“I don’t want to talk about it,” Dannii responded. “I never heard from your mum… Send me address I’ll send it.”
In a subsequent message, Dannii told Lauren she “could have called” instead of getting in touch on Instagram.
“I just wanted to know if it was some type of joke no one had my address, I sent [it to] Tori after my accident a copy of my will.”
She added that she hadn’t “really read a lot of the paper work” allegedly sent by Tori “in the post on [New Years Eve]”.
“It’s been locked in the cupboard I haven’t told anyone but from the small parts I read it’s to do with [James and Tori’s] kids,” Dannii penned.
Lauren said Dannii said “a multitude of things” in “back-and-forth” messages.
“But mainly that Tori had sent a box of things before she passed away… Most importantly… a copy of her will, which to this date, no one in Tori’s family or our family have known existed,” Lauren confessed.
Dannii also alleged there were “extensive letters” written to Tori’s daughters “explaining everything”.
“But she didn’t go into specifics.”
Lauren also added that Dannii claimed there were details about Tori’s wishes for her funeral. However, as this was over a month after her death, Tori’s funeral had already been held.
Dannii Erskine claims she had a miscarriage at 27 weeks
On February 15, Lauren called Dannii to discuss the information she allegedly had, which Dannii said she would post to her in Queensland.
In messages obtained by So Dramatic!, Dannii said she was busy with “appointments” and would be in touch later.
Lauren then wrote that it was “urgent” as the contents of the box reportedly pertained to James and Tori’s daughters.
When she eventually got ahold of Dannii, Lauren said she “couldn’t get a word in edgeways”.
“She had an hour-and-a-half conversation with me, but she told me her whole life story, which didn’t involve much about the information,” she explained to So Dramatic!. “I just wanted to know if she had put the thing in the post.”
During the chat, Dannii told Lauren about her car accident in 2022 and said she was “still recovering”.
She also claimed that she and her ex-husband Denton Ansley were “sleeping together again” after they’d broken up.
“Then she got pregnant,” Lauren recalled. “She was 27 weeks pregnant with twins when she miscarried.”
However, Denton has since told So Dramatic! that “this is a pure lie”.
“We were 1000 per cent not sleeping together after we separated.”
Lauren said she was “so sympathetic” to Dannii and deduced she wasn’t “in a good headspace” following an alleged miscarriage and car accident. As such, she didn’t push Dannii on whether she had sent Tori’s things.
Bride and Prejudice‘s Dannii Erskine’s ‘partner’ revealed she had been in another car accident
Lauren said “two days later”, Dannii still hadn’t sent the parcel.
“There was nothing,” she explained. As such, she messaged Dannii again on February 17, which is when she got a message from someone claiming to be Dannii’s partner, supposedly named James Milkworth.
It read: “Dannii is in the hospital and was put in a induced coma today [sic].
“This is her partner James, from what I know and her last moment prior to the car accident she mentioned about putting something in the post on Thursday morning and prior to having [to be] put under.
“I am not sure what it all relates to. But at the moment I’m just responding to family and friend messages.”
Lauren was very apologetic and said she “hope[s] [Dannii] pulls through”.
James then detailed the accident, saying the man who hit Dannii “was intoxicated and on drugs”. This is a similar story that was shared about the accident Dannii allegedly had on April 28.
The partner then claimed Dannii’s car contained a “post office slip” for a parcel “packaged to Queensland”.
“I believed in 100 per cent,” Lauren told So Dramatic!. “Who would lie about being in an induced coma?”
She later received an update from another number which claimed to be James’ personal number, stating Dannii was still in a coma.
“I let it go for a little bit because I believed that it was true and I thought I’ll just I’ve her some space to heal,” Lauren said.
She never heard from James again, despite attempting to call him. Dannii also told her that James had left her “high and dry” while she was in the ICU.
There was no record of Dannii Erskine being admitted to hospital
After not hearing anything by March 2, Lauren “called bullsh*t on the whole thing” and contacted the Alfred Hospital, where Dannii was allegedly admitted.
“I rang the Alfred and I rang the ICU,” she told Megan. “I just said that I was a friend and I was wanting to send some flowers.
“They were more than willing to go in and have a look for me and send me the room number, but there was no Dannii… They said there was no one by that name.”
At that point, Lauren sent Dannii a “brutal” message.
“I just said, ‘You’ve just put me through hell thinking I would find some sort of closure in the information in this box.’
“‘I hope you can sleep at night knowing what you did’.”
Lauren’s father then got in contact with Dannii, who “gave him the exact same runaround”.
Dannii said she had been “in and out of hospital for checkups” as she had “27 pins in her leg”.
She eventually claimed that the parcel had been sent, but it was “returned to sender”.
“She’s a liar,” Lauren deduced. “There wasn’t a car crash. She was not in an induced coma in February 2023. The whole thing is bullsh*t.”
Lauren also said that because “James” alleged the accident was on the news, she did an extensive search for information.
“I looked everywhere,” she explained. “There was nothing in the news.”
Again, she put Dannii on blast for fabricating stories.
Bride and Prejudice‘s Dannii Erskine sent loved ones a message that suggested she was considering suicide
On April 11, Lauren received a text at 1:40 am from Dannii, which intimated that she was going to commit suicide.
“Dear all fiends and family [sic]. This is a message for everyone in my contact list. I’, sorry if you can see each other’s number.
“My time has come, I have to much negativity in my life. I do the best to be a good human but I am always getting told different [sic].
“Dear family I have written and emailed you all a letter of who and what drove me to this.
“I love you all so much and I really didn’t do this to hurt you but the the comments and pain i received the last month is just too much to bare [sic].
“I leave my Dogs to my family…
It continued: “I leave any monies left over in the hands of my godmother – I have written a individual note to who I want it disturbed to. I am sorry to my family I am not leaving it to you but it’s come to the stage where it is needed to help other family’s in need and crisis [sic].
“I really do love you, but my abiss has come and it’s time to say goodbye [sic].
It concluded: “I am so sorry for all the mistake I made and so much more – After Denton and I split I. Have just felt so lost. He will never get the connection. But on gods life and soul I loved that man so much and will when I am 10 feet under [sic].
“Goodbye to everyone I’m sorry if you hate me and I’m sorry for what I did, I truely just did what I believe was right at the time from someone else [sic].
“Dans. It’s time to be with Dad.”
Lauren Ciseau received a text about Bride and Prejudice‘s Dannii Erskine’s ‘funeral’ before she ‘died’
Circling back to the “accident” that started it all, like Dannii’s co-stars Jojo Ellias and Jessica Pawa, Lauren received a text with funeral details for Dannii following the car crash she was reportedly involved in on April 28.
As shown in a screenshot obtained by So Dramatic!, Lauren received this message from a private number at 8:16 pm on April 28.
However, in an email alleged to be from Dannii’s sister Dee, the Bride and Prejudice star did not “die” until 12:01 am on April 29.
After seeing the “reaction” after So Dramatic!‘s original exposé about Dannii, Lauren “saw that she faked it” all.
“I was like, “Thank God somebody else believes what I believe,” she said. “It was a sigh of relief to know that it was out there.
“That she is a liar.”
