Police took out an interim AVO to protect Jodi from Sebastian following an incident at her eastern suburbs home on November 27, just one week after she went Instagram official with the British investment portfolio manager.
On the day of the incident, police were called to Jodi’s house in Double Bay shortly after midnight after reports of a disturbance.
‘Around 12.30am on Friday, November 27, 2020, officers were called to a unit at Wiston Gardens at Double Bay,’ a NSW Police spokesman said.

‘Following inquiries, officers from Eastern Suburbs suspended the investigation at the request of the victim. No further action is expected at this time.’
Police subsequently took out an interim AVO to prevent Sebastian, 30, from assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing or intimidating Jodi.

Home: Jodi’s six-year-old daughter from her marriage to retired NRL star Braith Anasta was not believed to have been present at the time of the disturbance at her home
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Sebastian is alleged to have done any of those things, and police have laid no charges against him.
Jodi’s six-year-old daughter from her marriage to retired NRL star Braith Anasta was not believed to have been present at the time of the disturbance at her home.
Sebastian consented to a one-year order when he appeared in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday without making any admissions of wrongdoing.
He told Daily Mail Australia outside court the pair was still together and ‘moving forward’.
