Abbie Chatfield Pays Big in Defamation Case

has reportedly been forced to pay a 'five-figure' sum following the Married At First Sight star's defamation claim.

In October, the MAFS veteran, 35, launched a GoFundMe to bankroll his legal costs, accusing Abbie of spreading 'constant lies, slander and bullying' that he claims cost him business and tarnished his name.

On Wednesday night, Abbie, 30, shared a statement to social media apologising for her actions towards Harrison. 

However, it seems there was more than just an apology demanded of Abbie, with an insider telling Daily Mail that there was a financial element to the settlement as well

The source claimed that Harrison had initially demanded $80,000, adding that the reality star 'didn't get anywhere near that.'

Instead, the insider said that the sum was more likely to be 'somewhere around $10,000.'

When contacted by Daily Mail, Harrison Boon declined to comment. Daily Mail has also reached out to representatives of Abbie Chatfield for comment.

The claim comes after Abbie apologised for 'fake and defamatory' statements she published on social media last year.

'On 26 April 2025, I published on my Instagram page certain fake and defamatory statements about Harrison Boon,' Abbie began.

She added that she was fully withdrawing the comments and regretted any hurt they had caused the Boon family.

'I unreservedly withdraw those comments and apologise to you for the harm, hurt and distress caused to him and his family by reason of the publication of these fake statements.'

Harrison revealed in October he had launched the fundraiser for a proposed defamation action against the former Bachelor star.

He 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, and accepts that they are false.
