Abbie Chatfield appeared downcast when she stepped out solo in Sydney on Friday.

It was the first time she had been spotted out and about since former Married At First Sight star Harrison Boon announced he was launching defamation action against the influencer, just days after she settled another defamation case.

Despite looking quite forlorn, Abbie stepped out in a colourful outfit, including a lemon-coloured tube top that featured a cute floral embellishment.

She also wore an eye-catching $250 maxi dress from Sydney-based label Katherina Lou.

The pink plaid dress flowed freely down Abbie’s legs, finishing just above her ankles.

The influencer finished the casual look with a pair of black leather boots and a similarly coloured canvas bag that she slung over her shoulder.

Leaving her trademark curly brunette locks down for the occasion, Abbie accessorised with a pair of subtle silver earrings and a horseshoe pendant necklace gifted to her by boyfriend Adam Hyde.

The necklace, designed by Melbourne-based artist Millie Savage, is a replica of one worn by Abbie’s late grandmother, Carmel.

Abbie’s new piece was made even more meaningful by the inclusion of her and Adam’s birthstones.

She appeared lost in thought on her outing, sporting a downcast expression as she strolled.

It comes after MAFS star Harrison Boon revealed that he had launched a GoFundMe to help pay for a proposed defamation action against the former Bachelor star.

Just six days ago, Harrison launched a GoFundMe to bankroll his legal costs, accusing Abbie of spreading ‘constant lies, slander and bullying’ that he claims have cost him business and tarnished his name.

Harrison took issue with a series of explosive social media posts 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.

Harrison claimed that those comments were false, defamatory, and deeply damaging to both his reputation and livelihood.

All funds raised by Harrison’s GoFundMe will go directly towards his lawyer and court filing fees, as well as mediation and expert witness costs.

The fresh legal action comes after Abbie recently settled another defamation case –this time with her former ‘male best friend’.

The social media influencer will be forced to pay law student and former Virgin Australia guest services officer Heath Kelley $79,000 after she consented to a Federal Court judgment against her.

The court has also ordered Abbie pay Heath’s legal costs, which amount to an estimated $30,000, leaving her facing a total bill of more than $100,000.

Heath sued Abbie for defamation after his lawyers sent her a concerns notice stating her online comments about him were indefensible and false.

She did not attempt to fight the claim and earlier this month Justice Wendy Abraham made orders against her by consent.

Abbie, who has about 550,000 followers on Instagram, published the defamatory remarks about Heath on her Stories about 5.30pm on May 7.

That day, Abbie had posted in support of Greens leader Adam Bandt who lost his seat of Melbourne to Labor’s Sarah Witty at the 2025 federal election.

Heath, who had known Abbie since their school days from about 2011, responded by sending her a private message containing a video and comment about the Greens leader.

Further private messages were then exchanged between Abbie and Mr Kelley which Abbie later published to her followers.

Abbie: ‘Why are you sending me this.. ? Are you pro Israel? Gross.’

Heath: ‘Sending you this because its incredible news that he lost his seat. And I’m going to sleep better at night knowing the Jewish population of Melbourne will feel safer with him gone.’

He continued: ‘And yes, as a supporter of gay and women’s rights, I am pro Israel having been to the region twice.’

Abbie: ‘Okay so you’ve lost the plot. By (sic) dude lmao.’

She then took to her Instagram Stories, reproducing some of her exchange with Mr Kelley, naming him and tagging his account.

‘Not my high school ex friend (EX FRIEND for a reason) sending me this???’ she posted. ‘We haven’t spoken in 3 years, and before that maybe 6 or 7 years???

‘Delusional g*cide supporter now weirdly trolling me about a PROGRESSIVE AND KIND politician narrowly losing his seat.’

Abbie and Heath were once so close that their relationship sparked romance rumours.

The pair made tabloid headlines in 2019 when they danced together in a raunchy online video. Abbie ground up against Heath and said, ‘I love this song and I love this man.’
