An AFL player known for his clean-cut image has been accused of cheating on his long-term partner.
The scathing blind item, posted by a gossip account on Instagram, claims the unnamed public figure has engaged in sustained affairs with multiple young women behind the scenes for years - all while publicly playing the role of a devoted partner.
'To the Australian public, he's the golden boy – charming, articulate...' the post begins.
'But those of us in the industry know what's actually happening.'
The anonymous source alleges the man has preyed on early-career professionals -including interns, assistants, and junior journalists - by promising mentorship, media opportunities and career support before manipulating them into personal relationships.
'He knows exactly how to make them feel seen, special, like they're getting a shortcut to the spotlight… until they realise what he actually wants.'

It's also claimed the star has a troubling history of substance abuse that continues behind closed doors.
'There are people who've seen him in recent months spiralling - partying, using, and texting women he met when they were barely out of high school - despite being well into his thirties,' the post alleges.
'Some of these messages go back to his AFL days.'
The post goes on to suggest the man uses his influence and popularity to shield himself from accountability - often cutting off communication with women once 'the damage is done,' and continuing to receive accolades and media opportunities while victims remain silent.
'The worst part? The women he's hurt, especially the ones just starting out, are terrified to speak,' the insider writes.
'Careers get quietly iced out. Doors stop opening. So they stay quiet, while he keeps getting rewarded...'
In a further bombshell, the post claims the man's long-time partner is complicit.
She has allegedly ignored warnings from multiple young women in order to protect the couple's public image.

'She has decided it's easier to keep up the image – despite being told/asked for help by multiple young girls,' the source continues.
'He's not just a cheater. He's a manipulator. And sooner or later, that mask is going to crack no matter how big the stage he's standing on.'
The post has prompted furious speculation online, with followers trying to unmask the celebrity at the centre of the allegations.
While no names have been publicly confirmed, the industry is buzzing with theories.
