Seven-time Bathurst 1000 winner Craig Lowndes has spoken publicly about a three-year online relationship with a woman he never met.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph, Lowndes’ wife Lara kicked the 47-year-old out of their home after discovering their flirtatious Instagram messages.
Lowndes and his wife claim to have been “tormented” by the unidentified individual since the V8 racing icon ended the online relationship in April.
The woman has allegedly created multiple online accounts and sent abusive messages to Mrs Lowndes.
“I’m ashamed to be talking to you about this, it’s very sensitive to myself and Lara,” Lowndes told The Daily Telegraph.
“Basically, I was in a bad place, but I’m not in that place anymore. I’m getting help. It is what it is, but I can honestly say Lara knows all about this and this third person is no longer in my life.
“Lara and I still live together, we had some time apart, but now we are committed to working through it all.
“Social media is an evil thing at times, it can be very beneficial, but it can also be very evil … we don’t even know this isn’t a catfish.”
