Truth behind Sydney's Eastern Suburbs 'cheating scandal' exposed - after mystery Range Rover is spray-painted with brutal message
The social set of Sydney 's eastern suburbs was sent into a frenzy over the weekend after a black luxury Range Rover was spotted vandalised with the word 'cheater' sprayed in bold silver paint across its side.
And now Daily Mail Australia can reveal the truth behind the mystery.
While many assumed it was a savage act of romantic revenge, it turns out to be a cheeky and cleverly executed PR stunt by cult beauty brand Nude by Nature, orchestrated by PR maven Danielle Williams of The Concierge Agency.
The stunt first unfolded early Saturday morning when the eye-catching vehicle appeared parked along Campbell Parade in Bondi Beach.
The word 'cheater' was sprawled across the doors, prompting stunned locals to whip out their phones to capture the explosive scene.

Among them was Love Island star Aidan Knox, who quickly posted a snap of the defaced SUV to his Instagram Story with several laughing emojis.
A closer look revealed the Range Rover had been fitted with fake licence plates, adding to the intrigue.
Later that afternoon, the same vehicle was spotted again - this time parked across the road from Double Bay's Royal Oak Hotel.
Gym-goers and brunchers couldn't help but notice a message plastered across the windscreen which read 'Don't deny it, I have the receipts!' accompanied by a mysterious QR code.
Naturally, curious passersby scanned the code in droves, expecting a bombshell exposé on a local love rat.
Locals say the car remained parked for hours, with dozens of people filming it for TikTok, uploading photos to Instagram and scanning the QR code to get in on the action.
But instead of a scandalous identity reveal, they were redirected to a dedicated landing page on the Nude by Nature website, promoting their new mascara, Lash Affair.
The tongue-in-cheek page declared: 'Cheater! You've clumped and flaked. You are toxic'.
It then offered the new ceramide-infused formula for just $1 and invited beauty lovers to 'cheat on your toxic mascara' and have a clean Lash Affair.
The bold activation had already made waves online by that point, especially in the Bondi Local Loop Facebook group, where amused locals posted the photos and debated whether the vehicle was the result of relationship drama or a publicity stunt.
'Well deserved,' one user commented.
Another called the act 'too funny,' while others speculated: 'Who did they upset?' and 'This is gold.'
Some commenters suspected it was a PR move from the start, given Bondi's history of outrageous marketing stunts.
Marketing Manager Xenia Charovatova told Daily Mail Australia: 'We knew the word 'cheater' would turn heads and that's exactly what we wanted. But our goal was to reframe it with a wink.
'We want Australians to feel confident cheating on their current mascara in favour of a cleaner, more nourishing formula that actually performs. It's time to ditch the drama, not your lashes.'

Jack Vidgen appears in good health as he attends church service with his mother after seventh stint in rehab
Jack Vidgen is on the mend after a recent stint in rehab. The troubled former Australia's Got Talent star stepped out on Sunday for a visit to a local Sydney church with his mum. The pop singer was joined by mother Rachel Hayton, with the pair enjoying a coffee and a walk after the service. Jack appeared in good health and good spirits as he strolled along sipping from a takeaway cup and puffing on a vape. He kept warm in a crisp white hoodie paired with pale blue track pants and a pair of sneakers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Jack completed his look with a pair of sunglasses and chatted happily to his mum, who brought her dog along for the walk. He had earlier sat down at a local cafe with his mum and enjoyed a spirit conversation that left him smiling. It comes after Jack shared a heartbreaking 'belated' Mother's Day message to his mum ahead of his seventh visit to rehab. The 28-year-old, who announced earlier this year that he was once again battling addiction in a rehab centre after a recent relapse, shared the sweet post for his followers. He included a selfie, in which his adoring mother can be seen embracing him on a park bench. Jack said it was a 'late' Mother's Day post, explaining he didn't get to see his mum for the big day earlier that month. He also confessed that when the picture was taken his mother had travelled to see him and asked him to get him professional help for his addiction battle, but he refused. 'I took this pic of mum and I on the 16th April, last month. It was right in the middle of my relapse,' he continued. 'She'd driven from down from the coast, where she lives, in hopes we would have coffee and that I would come back with her and maybe check in to rehab. 'I saw how much it broke her heart as I told her I had no plans of getting sober and that I wouldn't be coming back with her. 'I know that being the person with the addiction is hard, but being a family member, I think especially a parent of someone who goes through addiction, would be so painful and would leave you feeling helpless. 'Mum, you are an absolute angel and warrior. You've been through so much yourself and you've loved and supported me through this battle with such compassion yet also giving me tough love when I've needed it. 'You're an incredible woman and are so loved by so many, I hope you know that.' He signed off the message 'Bestest mum in the whole wide world' and added two kisses. Jack earlier posted to social media with a tearful message to share the sad news that he had returned to a rehabilitation centre for the seventh time. The singer explained he recently suffered a relapse and was once again fighting addiction. 'Hi, this is not the video I was hoping to make five months down the track after [not] posting anything on Instagram,' Jack said. Choking back sobs, Jack detailed his recent experience. 'I relapsed, that was two months ago,' he said. 'Just like that - I feel like I've let a lot of people down and I wasn't going to talk about it again, because half of me is like "Oh shut up Jack, no one wants to hear it."' Jack also revealed he made a police 'report' over an unspecified matter that has led him to 'feeling scared'. 'But I just feel like I need to tell someone that I have a situation coming up in a couple of months...' he continued. 'I just feel think I'm just really scared. I've been really scared for so many years.' He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay'. Jack, who has often taken to social media over the years to share his addiction troubles, also posted a lengthy caption for the video. He signed off by telling followers he was not 'doing okay' but he would be 'okay' 'I made a police report five years ago and it's just been lingering like this dark cloud over my life for so long and I just want it to be over and I think I just wanted to do a reach out,' he said. 'If you're a victim you understand. If you're a victim through addiction you'd understand even more. 'It's just been really hard and i don't know I just want to talk about it because I want to talk about it with people but they don't get it. 'Anyway the point of this video was just to check in and say hello and just let you know that i'm not doing okay but I will be doing okay.' Elsewhere in the post Jack said: 'I'm scared for the future. As I mentioned I have a situation coming up in the next couple months that's been lingering for the last 5 years. Something that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I've been so terrified but it's time I step into my strength and my truth. 'As a victim of sexual abuse I will get through this. Alive. I love you all. Jack x.' The performer rose to fame after winning the fifth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2011. After bowing out of the spotlight for a few years, he returned to prominence in 2019 as a contestant on The Voice. He made it all the way to the semi-finals before being eliminated.

Love Island fans ‘calling the police' as Islander goes missing saying ‘has she secretly gone home?'
It comes amid fans predicted doom for the Glasgow-born star ALARMING Love Island fans 'calling the police' as Islander goes missing saying 'has she secretly gone home?' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans say they're "calling the police" as Alima went missing again. It came as Harry tried to graft Shakira last night, Toni and Shakira cleared the air with Emily, and Megan revealed she wasn't sexually attracted to Tommy. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Alima's absence has caused alarm among Love Island viewers Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 She was previously called a 'background character' Credit: Eroteme But as all the drama unfolded, original girl Alima was nowhere to be seen. She was only mentioned when Shea branded her "boring" in a challenge, when asked to describe each islander with one word. Fans have been up in arms over Alima's poor edit. One said: "I would like to report a missing person. Her name is Alima and if you do see her let us know." Another wanted to know: "Does Alima even enjoy her time in the villa? I feel like that villa is so toxic and that's why she's always missing from group settings and just vibing alone w her mans." Another raised the alarm, writing: "MISSING ALERT Alima's been missing from our screens! If she returns please contact me!" And a fourth said: "Is it just me or have these two been properly stitched up in the edits? Barely seen them the last 3 or 4 eps…I think one of those two are definitely out next." Fans previously called Alima a "supporting character" in the villa. Alima is coupled up with 24-year-old bombshell Remell Mullings. Despite recent tensions, a U-turn saw them share a passionate kiss. However, show alums Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack had earlier predicted things could go awry for the couple. Love Island hosts predict doom for couple claiming villa boy is stringing girl along after her surprise U-turn Speaking on their Love Island: Morning After podcast, Amy said: "Thing is as well, with Remell and Alima, most people can count, right? "You go in the villa and there's more boys than girls. Which means that boys will be at risk. "So, I need to find a girl - and I'm not saying that Alima was an easy option. "She's a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and she's amazing." Continuing, Amy remarked how Remell "didn't even speak to anyone else" and observed her bond with Blu wasn't the strongest. She added: "He saw her and was like, 'That's my target' and then now he's wanting to kiss people in the challenge. "I just think, on paper, it looks like Remell came straight in for Alima, went for her and now they're in a couple. "Whereas it's not all those things." The villa couple previously butted heads when Remell kissed anyone but his partner in a challenge. Alima told him: 'I think you were so disrespectful, I'm not gonna lie…do you feel like you did everything right?' Their conversation continued, as Alima added: 'You say you like me and do things that just don't match, it's worse you can't even take accountability…maybe we're not compatible…"

Gold FM radio legends Jonesy and Amanda 'jumping ship' to another Sydney station as their potential replacement is revealed
Speculation is mounting that Gold FM stalwarts Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones could be readying to jump ship to a rival network. The pair, who have been hosting breakfast at the Sydney station 101.7 (formerly WSFM) for 20 years, have been rumoured to be eyeing off a spot at Triple M. According to recent reports, management at Gold are contemplating shifting the pair's popular Jonesy and Amanda show to the drive-time slot. Taking their current spot would be Melbourne based Gold star Christian O'Connell. Since this would mean a salary cut for Jonesy and Amanda, reported The Australian's Media Diary on Monday, insiders say that the pair are 'in talks' with Triple M. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Keller, 63, and Jones, 57, could be a catch for Triple M, after their Sydney breakfast team suffered a brutal blow in the third radio ratings survey of 2025. The Triple M trio of Beau Ryan, Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods and Cat Lynch's lost 1.5 per cent of the market share in survey two, and dropped another 1.5 in the latest survey. This puts them with a 4.4 market share from a previous 5.9. Meanwhile, Jonesy and Amanda finished third in the survey with a 9.3 per cent audience share, with 2GB's Ben Fordham in second place. It comes after the wildly popular Kyle & Jackie O Show was again number one in FM breakfast in Sydney, with a market share of 12.5 (up by 0.2). Though their performance in Melbourne has slightly dipped again and they dropped 0.7 to a 5.1 market share following the gains they made last survey. Sydney juggernauts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson have been embroiled in the battle since their multimillion-dollar expansion into the city saw ex KIIS FM stars Jason 'Jase' Hawkins and Lauren Phillips be axed. On April 29, 2024 Sandilands and Henderson took The Kyle & Jackie O Show to Melbourne in a huge multimillion-dollar expansion deal. The move triggered the axing of Hawkins and Phillips own KIIS FM breakfast show. Sandilands and Henderson have since struggled to capture the Melbourne market. In November, Sandilands vowed to reduce the graphic sexual content on his KIIS FM radio show this year to appeal to the Melbourne audience more broadly. Brisbane listeners, meanwhile, have only embraced the pain tentatively with their syndicated drive-time slot, 'Hour of Power' finishing this survey with an 11 per cent share of the audience. The result puts them behind the Nova, B105 and Triple M in the same slot.
