Married at First Sight‘s Jack says he has ‘over 5,000 receipts worth’ of proof of harassment
“From the day I ended the relationship I was verbally harassed and abused via text messages, phone calls, voicemails and emails,” the 34-year-old said. “Over 5,000 receipts worth.
“Post filming… the severity of the communications I was receiving from Courtney only intensified.”
He added: “I had only known Courtney for three-four months, from our very first encounter to the day I ended our relationship.
“Given the nature of the unrelentless [sic] communication and trolling online I deemed it necessary to seek advice and file for a protection order for myself and my loved ones.”
Jack concluded: “This is the first and final comment regarding this issue. My family and I wish Courtney all the best on her journey of self-discovery.”
It comes after So Dramatic! revealed that Courtney is also pursuing legal action against Jack and Channel Nine after it was revealed the groom showed his co-stars intimate images of his former partner during the experiment.
