Former Carlton president Luke Sayers and his estranged wife, Cate, resolve their defamation dispute after reaching a confidential settlement, a court hears. The matter centres on allegations connected to a lewd photo, which Cate Sayers says was posted in a way that harmed her.
ABC Australia and The Guardian report that Sayers makes an apology in court following the settlement, saying he accepts Cate did not post a photo of his genitals as she had claimed and describing the resolution as closing a “painful and difficult chapter.” The West Australian and PerthNow report the settlement itself, also referring to the dispute as high profile and indicating that the terms remain confidential.
While the outlets agree on the settlement and the broad subject of the photo-related allegations, their emphasis differs: some focus on the confidential resolution, while others highlight the apology and statements made in the Victorian Supreme Court.
