The savage violence Salim Mehajer inflicted on his ex-girlfriend says all you need to know about the man.
That is, he’s a criminal thug who views women as nothing but possessions.
So it was particularly satisfying to see the former partner he once brutalised have the final word earlier this month – the same week he was released from prison.
On July 18, Mehajer was released on parole having served almost five years behind bars for fraud and domestic violence offences.
True to form, the bankrupt former deputy mayor of Auburn – sporting a slimy man bun and bulging out of his ill-fitting suit – made himself the centre of attention by going straight from jail to a dental appointment to fix his ‘prison teeth’.

On July 18, Salim Mehajer was released on parole having served almost five years behind bars for fraud and domestic violence offences
But just days earlier, his victim – known legally as MB – shared a post on Instagram, seemingly timed to coincide with the narcissistic property developer’s release.
In it, she revealed to her followers she had a new boyfriend and couldn’t be happier.
It was a stark contrast indeed to her ex’s life of irredeemable disgrace.
She put on a loved-up display with her new man in a pair of selfies. Many of the comments on the post were from followers saying it was good to see her happy again.
‘The love you deserve,’ commented a friend.
Daily Mail cannot republish the photos, identify MB or her boyfriend due to legal protections under Australian law that apply to domestic violence victims.
Her new beau is certainly in better shape than Mehajer, who wobbled out of the clink 11 days ago looking dishevelled, with a greasy man bun and a noticeably fuller frame.
The fraudster appeared to have added a few centimetres to his waistline while serving his sentence, with his blue suit straining at the seams.

Mehajer was notorious for his love of cosmetic work before his downfall, including facial fillers and a blinding set of ‘Turkey teeth’

Mehajer also shared this bizarre message with his supporters as he returned to social media
The jacket was rather unflattering, perhaps having been tailored to suit his pre-prison frame.
Mehajer was notorious for his love of cosmetic work before his downfall, including facial fillers and a blinding set of ‘Turkey teeth’.
True to form, he headed straight to a cosmetic dentist to get his teeth fixed after being granted parole.
Mehajer also shared a message with his supporters as he returned to social media.
Posting a photo of the words ‘I am forever grateful’ in black cursive letters, he added in the caption: ‘I am fully committed to fulfilling the expectations placed before me.
‘Additionally, I express my sincere appreciation for the unwavering support of my family and friends, as well as the dedication of my legal representative, who has consistently stood by me throughout this journey.’
Meanwhile, MB lashed the parole board’s decision to allow his release.
‘Despite the commissioner of corrective services opposing his release, citing his risk of reoffending, the parole board granted it anyway,’ she told Nine News.
‘It is so unfair, so grossly unfair, that the freedoms of the offender are put above the freedoms of the victims. We must demand better from our justice system.
‘We are left to rebuild our lives while they are handed back theirs. This isn’t justice.
‘Every day in Australia, too many survivors watch their perpetrators walk free, often with little to no rehabilitation, no true accountability, and no regard for the long-term trauma they’ve caused.’
Mehajer was sentenced to seven years and nine months behind bars for a range of offences including domestic violence against his ex-partner.
He was convicted of assaulting the victim by punching her in the head in his car, suffocating her with his hand over her nose and mouth until she passed out, crushing her hand as she held her phone, and threatening to kill her mother.
His non-parole period of three years and nine months expired this month, and the NSW Parole Board decided in June to grant his release.

Mehajer rose to fame after his 2015 wedding to ex-wife Aysha, which cost him $1million
Mehajer’s release comes with conditions, including that he undergo drug and alcohol testing and participate in domestic violence programs if directed.
He can’t contact his domestic violence victim or communicate with any outlaw motorcycle gang members or associates, nor can he go to the Central Coast.
His parole conditions also include being of good behaviour and seeking ongoing treatment from a private psychologist.
Mehajer’s appeal against his DV convictions will be heard in the Court of Criminal Appeal on August 4.
Taboo rumour about Salim Mehajer’s life behind bars that all the crims are talking about
By Jonica Bray for Daily Mail Australia
We’ve seen plenty of dodgy businessmen and corrupt politicians end up in the slammer for their dastardly deeds.
But few have captured the imagination of the public like Salim Mehajer, the crooked property developer and disgraced former deputy mayor of Auburn.
His million-dollar wedding to wife Aysha cemented him as a tabloid fixture.
Then a little-known western Sydney pollie, he hired four helicopters, a fighter jet, a fleet of luxury cars and a camera crew, before closing off an entire street for his big day.
But his remorseless displays of wealth only brought more focus on his shady criminal behaviour that would eventually be his downfall.
Having recently walked free from prison after nearly five years behind bars, Salim made quite the name for himself during his time in the clink.
And not in a good way.
The prison were he was incarcerated, which houses more than 400 inmates, was a far cry from his former luxury home, with his sports cars and designer suits.

Despite being declared bankrupt in 2018, Salim Mehajer was still flashing his cash behind bars

But it seems old habits die hard and Salim, despite being declared bankrupt in 2018, was still flashing his cash – even as a prisoner.
While inside, he spent big on ‘buy-ups’, a prison term that refers to an inmate’s approved purchase of products like toiletries, snacks and drinks.
Inmates in maximum, medium and minimum-security correctional centres can spend up to $100 each week on their grocery ‘buy-up’. But the black-market jail economy often means prisoners can get access to more, including contraband items.
Salim, like any banged-up crim, was perfectly within his rights to max out his weekly spending. But the fact he’s loaded and always had plenty of ‘buy-up’ riled up other prisoners who were unable to scrape together $100 a week for a big haul.
And it wasn’t just because they were jealous of his chips and soda. It’s because within the walls of prison, ‘buy-up’ is used as currency that can be exchanged for favours.
Salim would buy anything he wanted to on the prison black market which, combined with his legit purchases, meant he could trade it for protection, perks – even friends.
‘He is buying everything in there and he has got a lot of vultures because he can pay top dollar for things,’ former cellmate Nathan Paddison told Daily Mail Australia in February, five months before Salim’s release.
Another jail insider added: ‘You can get a tiny mobile phone, alcohol [on the black market]… and while some prisoners don’t actually want any of those items, they can be handy to pay others should you need to.’

Popularity has clearly always been important to Salim, as evidenced by his obsession with flaunting his wealth online. He is pictured with his wife Aysha on their $1million wedding day
After the media firestorm that followed his $1million wedding, Mehajer became a household name – and soon caught the attention of police.
He has faced a series of serious criminal charges, including a bizarre plot to stage a car crash.
Popularity has clearly always been important to Salim, as evidenced by his obsession with flaunting his opulent wealth on social media.
His barrister, Ian McLachlan, previously told a court that Mehajer’s 2018 bipolar diagnosis was a causal factor in his offending, suggesting he was suffering ‘grandiose thinking’ at the time of his crimes.
According to psychologists, grandiose thinking is an unrealistic sense of self-importance that can range from inflated self-esteem, to a feeling of superiority.
During a brief prison release in 2019, Mehajer made a point of telling journalists how highly popular he was behind bars.
He told a reporter how ‘all the other inmates hadn’t initially warmed to him, only for him to become the most popular prisoner in the place – even amongst the guards’.
