Tammy Hembrow has distanced herself from her younger brother, Henri Oscar Thynne, after he was found guilty of crimes against his ex-girlfriend.
The 21-year-old admitted to charges of common assault, stalking and two counts of strangulation in the Brisbane District Court in June.
His fitness influencer sister, 31, has since disowned him, revealing on TikTok earlier this week that she has ‘nothing to do with him’.
The admission came in the comments in a vlog she posted on Tuesday, showing herself and her children grocery shopping.
‘How’s your brother?’ a follower wrote beneath the video.
Hembrow responded with two comments, writing in the first: ‘I wouldn’t know. I have nothing to do with my brother as I’ve addressed before, so leave me out of it.’

‘I wouldn’t know. Nothing to do with me,’ she said in the second message.
Thynne was released from prison three months ago after pleading guilty to a series of domestic violence offences against his ex-girlfriend.
He was sentenced to a maximum three years in prison, but a minimum sentence that ended on June 19, given time already served at Queensland’s high-security Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre.
The court heard that during one incident, the then-couple were watching a movie together when Thynne hit her in the head and called her a ‘c**t’.
On another occasion, he pushed her against a wall and choked her while saying, ‘I own you.’
Thynne’s victim—who cannot be named for legal reasons—bravely read aloud a powerful victim impact statement recounting the impact his violence has had on her.
‘I question my safety in everyday situations. This experience has left lasting marks on my life,’ she began.
‘[Before the assaults] I was a happy, confident and expressive person through my personality, social media and network interactions with other people.’

The court heard she was now so fearful that she packed up and moved interstate twice.
‘Since experiencing the abuse and assaults from him, I have changed.
‘I had to relocate homes two times in two different states to attempt to feel safe, but no matter where I went, it was flooded with anxiety and fear that I would be confronted by him.’
Thynne showed little emotion while sitting in the dock, occasionally rocking back and forth, his head bowed.
Defence barrister Greg McGuire said the couple had an ‘odd’ relationship, with both of them being bodybuilders who used steroids during their relationship.
A medical report stated Thynne had diminished emotional control and impaired judgment due to severe steroid use since the age of 16.
Thynne’s parents, father Nathaniel Thynne and mother Nathalie Stanley, did not appear to be in court during the sentencing.
Soon after sentencing concluded, the victim posted a stark warning on her social media page.

‘Lock your doors! A criminal has been set free in Brisbane even after pleading guilty to everything!’ the post began.
‘Pre warning—he pleaded guilty to sexual assault, assault, strangulation x2 and unlawful charges like breaches of the DVO [domestic violence order] and bail and still got released on parole!’
‘Law legislation needs some work… this is not acceptable and best believe it will not be the last time you hear from me about it,’ she concluded.
Before Thynne’s imprisonment last July, he took to social media Q&A after being asked if his musculature was ‘natty’, or natural.
Instead of answering yes or no, Thynne replied with a meme that read: ‘That’s a nice argument you have there. Unfortunately my muscles are bigger than yours.’
He added he had been ‘tired of being a small sad nerd c***’ and boasted that his buff physique was a result of ‘hard work paying off’.
‘Not gonna stop ’till I’m number one,’ he said.
In recent months, Thynne’s crimes have caused grief for his high-profile older half-sibling Tammy, who faced fierce public backlash after publicly denying rumours she was supporting him.
In a TikTok clip, she denied she bailed out her younger brother, stating she’s not involved in ‘any of the legal situation’.
‘I don’t usually address things like this, but this is a very serious topic, and what’s being said about me is just not true,’ she said.
‘Firstly, I have had no involvement whatsoever in ever bailing my little brother out of anything.
‘I’m not involved in any of the legal situation. I’ve [had] no contact with my brother. I haven’t seen my brother.
‘I’m not involved at all, in any way. So I wanted to make that clear.’
She then explained she doesn’t condone ‘violence in any form’ and reiterated her ‘heart goes out to everyone involved’.
