The Miss Universe finalist testified that Lawrence restrained her and allegedly assaulted her by punching and biting her on her legs, arm, and shoulder, according to the jury.

Chloe, an Instagram influencer with 284,000 followers, said she “feared she would die” at the 33-year-old’s £1.5million apartment.

However, Lawrence, owner of Lawrence & Winslade bespoke tailors in Knightsbridge, contested these allegations and was acquitted of the actual bodily harm assault charges following an eight-day retrial.

Whisky merchant Lawrence was accused of punching Chloe multiple times but was found not guilty having insisted a love rival beat her up.

He claimed her current partner Hatton Garden jeweller Bora Guccuk, 41, was responsible for Chloe’s injuries.

Now, Chloe has taken to Instagram with her latest post referencing the ordeal.

Horrifying pictures of her injuries were uploaded by the influencer along with a statement.

Chloe said: “I trusted the justice system. It failed me.

“All it takes is an implication of doubt to devalue the overall truth…it felt like I was on trial.

“This is happening far too often — not just to me, but to survivors everywhere. The courts are being used to retraumatise victims, not protect them.

“I spoke my truth. I fought for justice. And I was let down.

“We need change – because justice shouldn’t be this easy to escape.”

The court was informed that the two had a roughly six-month relationship from December 2021 to May 2022, which continued in a sporadic manner after their breakup.

Giving evidence, Chloe described their relationship as “narcissistic” adding: “You are addicted to the highs and lows. It is euphoric.”

During her evidence, the influencer said: “I genuinely thought I’m going to die.”

She told the court she was left with six bite marks and as a result she needed a tetanus shot and antibiotics.

Chloe later went to hospital where it was found one of the bite marks on her neck had “turned septic”, it was said.

Jurors previously heard a slew of messages were recovered from Lawrence’s phone that were sent just before the accusations of assault.

He told her: ‘I’ll do everything in my power to f**k you up.

“You’re a lying little w****, you said you were coming to me an hour-and-a-half ago.”

Chloe also described Lawrence as “crazy” and claimed he pursued her while she was at the Cannes film festival and in Mykonos with friends.

CHARGES CLEARED

Smartly dressed in a grey suit, bearded Lawrence appeared emotional as the unanimous verdict was announced as he looked over to supporters at the back of the courtroom.

Giving evidence in court, Lawrence claimed Chloe had confided in him that her boyfriend Guccuk was violent towards her – and that at one point he had seen her with a red mark on her face.

Lawrence claimed: “She had a mark on the side of her face. It looked like a footprint. It was a round mark. It was a red round mark.

“She always described the relationship as violent. She said he used to beat her up, things of that nature.”

Asked by Tom Wyatt, defending, whether he had ever bitten anyone, Lawrence replied: “Absolutely not. I’d never even had a fight”.

The defence lawyer said no one was suggesting Chloe was not assaulted but claimed Guccuk was responsible for her injuries.

Mr Wyatt added: “She couldn’t risk losing the man who paid for her lifestyle.”

Francesca Allen, 28, who appeared on series five of Love Island, dated Lawrence in 2018 and wrote a character statement as part of Lawrence’s defence.

Following his initial arrest, Lawrence had wept and said: “This is ridiculous. She’s ruining my life. I asked her to leave.”

Lawrence later gave police a prepared statement in which he confirmed his relationship with Ms Othen began in January 2022 and ended four months later “because she aborted my child”.
