Salim's personal update after leaving prison
Shared to his Instagram story overnight, Mehajer revealed a glimpse of his new-found freedom with a selfie.
Sporting his new haircut and a grey tracksuit, the 39-year-old former Auburn mayor wrote only his initials in the top corner of the post.

The selfie comes only weeks after Mehajer was released on parole after spending five years in jail for back-to-back sentences and multiple convictions.
Shortly after his release, Mehajer made stops at Service NSW to apply for a new driver's licence and a cosmetic dentist in Hornsby.
It has been reported Mehajer was hoping to get his teeth fixed after his time behind bars, with teeth-whitening services offered at $549 and a full mouth implant starting at $24,990 per arch.
On Monday, Mehajer – who has ditched the man bun he was sporting when he walked out of prison – announced he would be represented by Zali Burrows in his appeal.
His appeal argues the domestic violence conviction and sentence were 'defective' and unfair.
He was jailed in November 2020 after being found guilty of two counts of perverting the course of justice, and one count of making a false statement under oath.
In 2023, he was found guilty in separate trials for domestic violence and fraud matters.

He was convicted of punching his ex-partner in the head, squeezing her hand and crushing her phone during an argument inside his car.
Mehajer was found guilty of suffocating her by putting his hand over her mouth and nose until she collapsed, and threatened to kill her mother.
A jury found him guilty of six charges – including assault, suffocating and intimidation – and was also found guilty of forging signatures of his sister and Ms Burrows, who was his solicitor at the time.
As part of his parole, Mehajer must report to a community corrections officer, participate in domestic violence programs as directed, receive ongoing treatment by a private psychologist and undergo alcohol and drug testing.

‘Destroyed my life': Vladimir Putin's ‘secret daughter' slams him in cryptic post
Don't miss out on the headlines from Leaders. Followed categories will be added to My News. Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged secret daughter has spoken out against her father in a cryptic post, condemning the man who 'destroyed' her and 'took millions of lives'. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, a 22-year-old art school graduate living in Paris who is believed to be the leader's youngest daughter, shared the messages on her private Telegram, in line with her increasing openness on Instagram as she's started to share more images of herself, The New York Post reported. 'It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again,' she wrote, according to German magazine Bild. 'It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life.' The Telegram chat, named 'Art of Luiza', references her work pseudonym Luiza Rozova. Ms Krivonogikh didn't explicitly name Putin in either post, but has also never shot down the popular theories surrounding her true parentage. The budding artist was born in 2003 after a suspected affair between Putin and her mother, Svetlana, the President's then-housekeeper. The bombshell was first revealed after a 2020 investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt, citing Ms Krivonogikh's 'phenomenal resemblance' to Putin. He isn't listed on her birth certificate, but 'Vladimirovna' was included, translating to 'daughter of Vladimir'. In 2021, slain journalist and Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny exposed Ms Krivonogikh's Instagram, which showcased her life of luxury and her family's staggering wealth that many have attributed to their connection with the country's pesident. While Ms Krivonogikh originally celebrated life in the spotlight, she retreated after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2021 and her Instagram was suddenly shut down. She's since returned to the platform, but was more reserved in her posting at first, hiding her face in many photos. She's now seemingly changed her tune – and swapped sides on the devastating war after previously mourning her inability to 'make an extra lap around my beloved St Petersburg'. Ms Krivonogikh has since denounced her previous lifestyle of obscene wealth, speaking openly against her alleged father's actions in Ukraine. She also works in a Parisian art gallery that specialises in anti-war works. Ms Krivonogikh also adopted an extra pseudonym, Elizaveta Rudnova, inspired by Putin's late ally Oleg Rudnov – a cheeky stab at her elusive parentage. Still, critics of Putin haven't quite bought her reshaped image and insist that she shouldn't be working in a space where she could be interacting with Ukrainians, regardless of her stance. 'Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?' Ms Krivonogikh wrote. Putin is also rumoured to share two secret sons, a 10-year-old and a six-year-old, with his former gymnast lover and Olympic gold medallist Alina Kabaeva.

Controversial social media personality Lil Tay makes over $1 million in three hours after joining OnlyFans on her 18th birthday
Controversial internet personality Lil Tay claims she made more than $1 million within three hours of launching an OnlyFans account on her 18th birthday. The social media star announced the launch of her OnlyFans page at 12.01am on July 29, as soon as she turned 18, calling herself the 'youngest girl on OnlyFans' in the account link. On Sunday, she shared a screenshot of her earnings with her 5.8 million Instagram followers, claiming she had broken the platform's record. '$1M in 3 hours. We broke the f*** out of that OnlyFans record,' she wrote. 'For all the grown haters who've been hating since I was nine years old, look at me now. What y'all got to say? Y'all been doubting me for seven years. You can hate me all you want — you can't say Lil Tay ain't winning,' she said in a video. She went on to encourage others to live life on their own terms. 'So for everybody out there, do whatever the h*ll you want with your life, who gives a f*** what people have to say?' 'And remember this: Lil Tay Rich and finna get richer.' According to Tay's post , more than $511,000 came from subscriptions, while $486,558 was earned through private messages. Lil Tay first rose to fame at just nine years old, posting videos of herself rapping. The explicit content of her lyrics ranges from bragging about selling drugs, to getting in fights and driving $200,000 cars without a licence. In August 2023, Tay became the subject of a viral death hoax after her Instagram account was reportedly hacked. A statement falsely claimed that the then-14-year-old had died 'suddenly and tragically,' along with her older half-brother, Jason Tian. 'It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire's sudden and tragic passing,' the statement read. 'We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.' A day later, Tay clarified both were alive. 'I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I'm completely heartbroken and struggling to even find the right words to say,' she told TMZ . 'My Instagram account was compromised by a third party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumours regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. 'My legal name is Tay Tian, not 'Claire Hope'.' That 'fake' post was later deleted.
