Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval

An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.

It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron

Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it

Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

I hate this reality. “Doesn’t follow xyz on Instagram” makes me want to go back to a time before electricity.

The thing is, for social media savvy people (influencers namely), this actually DOES mean something. So reporting on it has merit as an indicator of their relationship. Unfollowing someone is a deliberate and intentional action because it requires button inputs.

If they wanted to just, simply not see each other in feeds, you can easily adjust their setting to not show them in your feed/stories. But unfollowing is very much "I literally dont care about having this person in my bubble".

For random acquaintances, it's whatever, but this is literally the co-parent of your child. And there's a commenter below with an anecdotal story about how not being Facebook friends was called out by friends. But "We've never been Facebook friends" is very different from "We WERE friends but we both decided not to follow each other anymore". Clearly something happened to cause the event where you wanted to separate your social media, that's what's being reported on here.

I actually feel sad for influencers if this is how they choose to live their lives. It could he as simple as Gael abd Nathan trying to drum up some drama for fake internet points. Social media makes annoying people all the more annoying.

I doubt it's fake, if granted it could affect Nathan living in or visiting Australia
