The long-time partner of a 'golden boy' AFL star has been accused of turning a blind eye to his alleged cheating ways.

A scathing blind item, posted by an Instagram gossip account recently, claimed an unnamed public figurehas engaged in sustained affairs with multiple young women behind the scenes for years—all while publicly playing the role of a devoted partner.

The post has gone on to suggest his girlfriend is in the know about his illicit affairs but chooses to ignore his acts in an effort to protect their public image.

'He's not who he pretends to be. And his partner has decided it's easier to keep up the image despite being told and asked for help by multiple young girls,' the post read.

It goes on to claim: 'But for those of us who have seen the damage up close, it's infuriating. 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 original post, which for legal reasons cannot be shared in its entirety here, began by saying this mystery man is a 'golden boy' to the Australian public, claiming he is 'charming' and 'articulate'.

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 which 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...' 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,' the post continued.

'So they stay quiet, while he keeps getting rewarded...'

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.
