Married At First Sight star shares Abbie Chatfield's signed apology letter after winning defamation battle over false slurs - and makes surprise move to protect her despite their legal clash

Married At First Sight groom Harrison Boon has shared the extraordinary moment he officially triumphed in his defamation battle against Abbie Chatfield.

Boon has revealed the signed legal apology letter Chatfield was forced to send after falsely accusing him online.

The controversial reality star, 35, uploaded the formal apology to Instagram on Monday, alongside a series of comments from supporters celebrating his legal win.

The letter, addressed directly to Harrison via his lawyers, read: 'On 26 April 2025, I published on my Instagram page certain false and defamatory statements about you.

'I unreservedly withdraw those comments and apologise to you for the harm, hurt and distress caused to you and your family by reason of the publication of the false statements.'

The statement was personally signed by Abbie Chatfield. Harrison captioned the post: 'Result.'

'Huge thank you to those that supported me through this,' he added.

However, in a surprising move, Harrison urged followers not to target Abbie despite the public humiliation.

'Please don't disparage Abbie in the comments. Thank you,' he wrote.

He later reinforced that message, adding: 'Guys, I cannot host any disparaging content towards Abbie. Any comments that disparage her will be deleted. We can celebrate a win without stooping to a low level.'

The legal victory comes after Abbie made headlines this week when she publicly apologised to Harrison following his defamation lawsuit over comments she made in April 2025.

The feud began when Harrison launched legal proceedings and a GoFundMe campaign in October, alleging Abbie had spread damaging lies that harmed his business, reputation and personal life.

Among the false claims were allegations that Harrison supported fascism, white supremacy and Nazi ideology.

Daily Mail does not suggest these allegations were true and accepts they were false.

At the time, Harrison said the accusations were defamatory and financially devastating.

Abbie publicly retracted the claims on Instagram on Wednesday night.

'On 26 April 2025, I published on my Instagram page certain fake and defamatory statements about Harrison Boon,' she wrote.

'I unreservedly withdraw those comments and apologise to you for the harm, hurt and distress caused to him and his family by reason of the publication of these fake statements.'

Fans quickly flooded Harrison's post with support.

'Justice at last,' one wrote, while another added: 'One for the good guys!'

Someone else chimed in: 'Great result, deserved apology!'

The outcome marks a significant reputational victory for Harrison, who has spent months fighting to clear his name.

Funds raised through his GoFundMe reportedly went towards legal fees, court filing costs, mediation and expert witnesses throughout the lengthy process.
