Abbie Chatfield has issued a heartfelt public apology to MAFS star Harrison Boon following his defamation case against her last year

It comes after Harrison revealed he had launched a GoFundMe to help fund a proposed defamation action against the former Bachelor star.

In October, Harrison launched a GoFundMe to bankroll his legal costs.

Harrison took issue with a series of explosive posts shared by Abbie in which she labelled Harrison a 'sexist' and 'alt-right freak' who 'supports fascism' and 'stands by Nazi ideology'. 

Daily Mail does not suggest any of these allegations are true.

Harrison claimed those comments were false, defamatory, and deeply damaging to both his reputation and livelihood.

All funds raised by Harrison's GoFundMe went directly towards his lawyer and court filing fees, as well as mediation and expert witness costs.

The fresh legal action comes after Abbie recently settled another defamation case - this time with her former 'male best friend'.

Heath sued Abbie for defamation after his lawyers sent her a concerns notice stating her online comments about him were indefensible and false.

She did not attempt to fight the claim and Justice Wendy Abraham made orders against her by consent.

Abbie published the defamatory remarks about Heath on her Stories at about 5.30pm on May 7, 2025.

That day, Abbie had posted in support of Greens leader Adam Bandt who lost his seat of Melbourne to Labor's Sarah Witty at the 2025 federal election.

Heath, who had known Abbie since their school days from about 2011, responded by sending her a private message containing a video and comment about the Greens leader.

Further private messages were then exchanged between Abbie and Mr Kelley which Abbie later published to her followers.

Abbie: 'Why are you sending me this.. ? Are you pro Israel? Gross.'

Heath: 'Sending you this because its incredible news that he lost his seat. And I'm going to sleep better at night knowing the Jewish population of Melbourne will feel safer with him gone.'

He continued: 'Yes, as a supporter of gay and women's rights, I am pro Israel having been to the region twice.'

Abbie: 'Okay so you've lost the plot. Bye dude lmao.'

She then took to her Instagram Stories, reproducing some of her exchange with Mr Kelley, naming him and tagging his account.

'Not my high school ex friend (EX FRIEND for a reason) sending me this???' she posted. 'We haven't spoken in 3 years, and before that maybe 6 or 7 years???

'Delusional g***cide supporter now weirdly trolling me.'
