Lauren Dunn: Alleged DV victim of former Fremantle Docker Ryan Crowley thankful for police, positive messages
The former reality TV star who has accused ex-Fremantle Docker Ryan Crowley of serious domestic violence offences, has broken her silence for the first time since details of the horrific allegations surfaced. Lauren Dunn, who is an ambassador for Polished Man — a movement that aims to end violence against women and children in Australia — said she had been overwhelmed by the messages she had received over the past two days. Mr Crowley faced Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday accused of unleashing a torrent of abuse on Ms Dunn, a former Married At First Sight contestant, which included beating then choking her until she fell unconscious at a house in Claremont on Tuesday and Wednesday. The 41-year-old denies the charges with a duty lawyer telling the hearing his client disputed the severity of the allegations put before the court and the physical contact that was alleged. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Ms Dunn vowed to continue to advocate for changes to the way domestic violence was reported in the media in Australia and praised WA Police for how they dealt with her claims. 'This has ignited a fire in my belly to continue to use my voice as an advocate for others and to work to change the way Australian media reports on DV in Australia,' Ms Dunn wrote in statement posted to her Instagram account. 'I can say that WA Police have been nothing short of amazing. 'I felt empowered and strong and supported. I hope that (others) out there can read this, and it will give them confidence to go to police. I am doing well, I am OK and it's business as usual.' During Mr Crowley's bail application hearing, the court was told the pair had been in an on-and-off relationship for five years, between 2018 and 2023, that had been marred with allegations of domestic violence. It was revealed in court there were six prior incidents involving the pair between 2019 and 2020 where police had been called out regarding allegations of arguments and controlling behaviours including one claim that Mr Crowley was the alleged victim, however no charges were laid. Mr Crowley has been charged with a string of offences including aggravated assault causing bodily harm and is set to appear in court again in July.

Her academic credentials include not only a doctorate but also two master's degrees, which further demonstrate her dedication to understanding international affairs and political science at a high level. Academic foundation and early career beginnings Crowley's academic journey began with her undergraduate studies at Colgate University, where she earned her BA in political science. She then pursued advanced studies at Columbia University, where she completed her Ph.D. in international relations in 2000. Although Columbia's internal investigation found "localized instances of plagiarism" in her dissertation, it did not reach the level of research misconduct, a conclusion that helped her continue her career in public service. Her academic background helped launch a career that bridged media and politics. At 22, Crowley worked as a research assistant to former president Richard Nixon, assisting with his last two books and later publishing two books about Nixon herself.

The Trump administration defended her, calling the accusations a 'politically motivated attack.' Despite these challenges, Crowley's appointment as ambassador and chief of protocol highlights her resilience and the administration's confidence in her capabilities. She is expected to represent the US at major upcoming events, including America's 250th birthday in 2026, the FIFA World Cup in 2026, and the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Monica Crowley's educational qualifications have laid a strong foundation for her influential role in US politics and diplomacy, underscoring how academic rigor combined with practical experience can shape a career dedicated to public service.
