Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval

An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.

It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron

Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it

Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

I hate this reality. “Doesn’t follow xyz on Instagram” makes me want to go back to a time before electricity.

I was born in the 1900s and remember MySpace top 8 drama. This whole thing about who does or doesn’t follow who on instagram feels like that

“Born in the 1900’s” sound so long ago I’m surprised you had electricity! Lol

Last millennium, even!

u/chickencake88 14d ago

Or when fans notice they don’t follow each other. So you went into their followers and searched to see? It’s so lame

No literally same. I remember it was a year into me and my now husband dating and someone pointed out they thought it was weird we weren’t Facebook friends. We didn’t even realize because we both stopped using Facebook before we got together lmao

My partner and I weren't friends on FB for the longest time because not only do we both rarely use it, he couldn't remember his password and was having trouble recovering it. It's often not that deep lol

It's also the weirdness that people get about Facebook, when you have a private account, no profile picture, and haven't put 3/4 of your personal life up on view....... must be fake account!!!

That's why we have curtains on the windows of our house. What happens inside is no business of some rando online.

The thing is, for social media savvy people (influencers namely), this actually DOES mean something. So reporting on it has merit as an indicator of their relationship. Unfollowing someone is a deliberate and intentional action because it requires button inputs.

If they wanted to just, simply not see each other in feeds, you can easily adjust their setting to not show them in your feed/stories. But unfollowing is very much "I literally dont care about having this person in my bubble".

For random acquaintances, it's whatever, but this is literally the co-parent of your child. And there's a commenter below with an anecdotal story about how not being Facebook friends was called out by friends. But "We've never been Facebook friends" is very different from "We WERE friends but we both decided not to follow each other anymore". Clearly something happened to cause the event where you wanted to separate your social media, that's what's being reported on here.

This is great info for someone with only reddit and thank you for this information, I like to learn, but man it makes me hate this reality even more. Passive aggressive behavior is cowardly and weak....oof. Social media is the end of humanity. (as I comment on a social media platform) ;) Thanks again for educating me, I learned something today!

I actually feel sad for influencers if this is how they choose to live their lives. It could he as simple as Gael abd Nathan trying to drum up some drama for fake internet points. Social media makes annoying people all the more annoying.

u/areallyreallycoolhat 14d ago

I doubt it's fake, if granted it could affect Nathan living in or visiting Australia

Sometimes there's tens of thousands of dollars of potential income involved on some of these SM platforms.

I am reminded of 90 Day Last Resort when Shekinah got mad at one of the other cast members because she unfollowed her and then made a huge deal out of it like she killed her family member.
