Attwood Marshall Lawyers' Family Law Associate, Breanna Farrell spoke to 2SM's Ron Wilson's on the breakfast program about the social media battle between MAFS's star, Jacqui Burfoot and her on-screen husband Ryan Donnelly, which has landed the pair in court.
10 April 2025, by Ron Wilson, 2SM Sydney.
Breanna told the 2SM breakfast presenter how social media posts have spiralled into legal action and have been used as evidence in legal disputes, in light of the pair’s battle over applications for restraining orders and apprehended violence orders.
She explained that some of the posts were allegedly harassing, abusive, and generally quite denigrating toward Jacqui. As a result, Jacqui sought a restraining order preventing Ryan from directly or indirectly threatening her or posting any content about her.
Breanna went on to reveal the role social media plays in the family law realm, particularly when it comes to applying for a domestic violence order or an apprehended violence order, and how social media can be woven into those applications.
She ended the interview by telling Ron her favourite catchphrase is to remind people “a screenshot can last forever”.
