Former Carlton president Luke Sayers settles a defamation lawsuit involving an explicit image with his estranged wife, Cate Sayers. Multiple outlets report the matter ends in a confidential settlement after proceedings in the Victorian Supreme Court.
ABC, The Guardian and other sources say Sayers makes an apology in court following the settlement, with The Guardian reporting he accepts that Cate Sayers did not post an image of his genitals as she had alleged. The reports also describe the settlement as closing a “painful and difficult chapter.” The West Australian and PerthNow focus on the defamation battle’s conclusion and its confidential terms, without emphasizing the details of the apology. The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Brisbane Times similarly summarise the outcome as a settlement of the lawsuit over the lewd image.
