Mehajer received a seven-year and nine-month sentence for various crimes, including committing domestic violence against his ex-partner and forging his lawyer’s signature.

He was released on parole yesterday and posted to his private Instagram page this morning, thanking the parole board for his release.

“I wish to formally convey my deep gratitude for the opportunity granted to me by the State Parole Authority,” the post reads.

“I am fully committed to meeting the expectations set for me, and I sincerely thank my family and friends for their unwavering support, as well as my legal representative for their dedication.”

He said he couldn’t comment on the matter further as he has a scheduled appeal in three weeks. 

He also mentioned in a post that during his previous ten-year relationship with Aysha Learmonth, he was never accused of violence against her, and emphasized that she is not related to “current issues.”

“I find it extraordinary that the media persists in referencing my prior marriage to my then long-term partner,” he wrote.

Learmonth was granted an AVO against Mehajer in 2017 as video footage emerged that showed him threatening to rape her and her parents.

He was convicted of breaching the AVO in 2018.

The pair’s lavish 2015 wedding put Mehajer in the spotlight, spending over $1 million on the event.

Mehajer was granted parole last month after he was found guilty in 2023 in separate trials for offences which took place between April 1, 2018 and October 4, 2020, including for domestic violence against a different former partner of Mehajer.
