Married At First Sight: KC Osborne takes out IVO against Stacey Hampton

The feud between Married At First Sight exes Stacey Hampton and Michael Goonan has taken a bitter turn.

Stacey’s best friend, Bitcoin trader Anthony Hess, filed an Interim Intervention Order against Michael on Thursday.

Interim orders were made by the Melbourne Magistrates Court preventing Michael, 29, from going within five metres of Anthony or Stacey, or within 200 metres of Anthony’s South Melbourne home.

It comes one week after Michael’s girlfriend, KC Osborne, filed a similar intervention order against Stacey, 26.

Michael told Daily Mail Australia that KC, 32, had been the victim of targeted harassment and threats from Anthony and Stacey, prompting her to file her own IVO against Stacey on May 7.

Michael said the harassment had left KC ‘too scared to leave her home’. 

When asked if he had filed an IVO against Michael to get back at KC for filing one against Stacey, Anthony said: ‘Not at all, I had already planned to. This isn’t a war.’

Anthony, 39, is best known for convincing a Sydney magistrate in February to throw out an Apprehended Violence Order brought against him by PR queen Roxy Jacenko.  

He was photographed at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday submitting the application for the order against Michael.

In the complaint, Anthony claimed that Michael had sent him a ‘threatening text message’ and made ‘two threatening phone calls’. 

The Interim Intervention Order lasts until June 10, when Anthony will have to argue his case again to have it extended and Michael will have the opportunity to put his version of events before the court.

In a screenshot of the expletive-laden message obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Michael threatened Anthony to ‘keep his distance’ from him.

‘I’ll give you this, you are a good looking c**t. Though, know I like you. You will see [it] will take an army to rock me,’ Michael wrote.

‘Make sure the bullet goes straight throw [sic] my head. Because I’ll fly charter a jet with the hardest c**ts from Russia just for the banter.

‘Trust me to stay your distance. Bikies wanna go me, wear their true colours, I’ll always respect the lads.’ 

In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Michael accused Anthony and Stacey of ‘harassing’ his girlfriend.  

‘Stacey and Anthony have made multiple threats against KC,’ he said.

‘They’ve intimidated and harassed KC to the point where she was too scared to leave her own home while I was away on a business trip. No woman should feel unsafe in her own home.

‘It’s my job to protect and care for KC and I will continue to protect her. This repeated harassment must stop. KC and I want nothing to do with Stacey and Anthony. 

‘Their continued attacks on us are a poor attempt to remain relevant. We just want to be left in peace so we can get on with our lives.’ 

The two women were recently engaged in a social media spat over a toy Nerf gun.

The feud began earlier this month when Stacey lashed out at Michael and KC after they uploaded a TikTok video in which they played with her son’s Nerf gun.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, the law graduate, 26, said she had left the toy at Michael’s house after their split in January and wanted him to return it.

She then accused KC of imitating her style by wearing the same Stuart Weitzman boots that she owns, as well as staying at her preferred hotel in Melbourne, Crown Towers.

Frustrated by Stacey’s claims, KC responded with her own Instagram rant, saying she did not know to whom the toy belonged.

She also denied she was copying her by wearing Stuart Weitzman boots and staying at Crown Towers.

‘I’m really, really over explaining myself but again, here I am. Firstly, apologies that it was her son’s Nerf gun that we used in the video,’ said KC, who had just assumed the toy belonged to Michael’s two-year-old son, Connor.

As for the designer boots, she posted a photo of herself wearing them in 2018 as proof she’d owned her pair for two years.

KC also clarified she had stayed at Crown Towers, where Stacey stays during her fortnightly business trips to Melbourne, for work purposes.

‘Stop thinking everything is about you, because it’s not. I wished you well, I’ve never come out and said anything nasty about you. If you could just leave me alone, that’d be really good,’ she concluded.

Michael later promised to return to toy to Stacey’s son as a peace offering. 

‘I will return the Nerf gun – except I refuse to pay postage. I ain’t sending it express,’ he said.
