Lawyers for Karl Stefanovic will issue a subpoena to the journalist who recorded his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn slagging him off.

During the interview Thorburn told Jonathan Marshall, who sold the interview to a gossip magazine, that her ex was “fake” and a narcissist.
Sunday Confidential believes Stefanovic’s long-time manager Sharon Finnigan has been dealing with Caroline Bass at Swaab Attorneys on her client’s behalf.
It is believed the pair reached out to Marshall this week who has agreed to comply with the order.
Stefanovic’s legal team will be using the recording to assess whether Thorburn has breached arrangements that had been agreed to, including both promising not to say negative things about each other in public.
The interview sold to the gossip magazine is believed to have fetched more than $15,000 and the audio from it will hit news websites tomorrow.
However Confidential believes Thorburn has since enlisted lawyers in a bid to prevent the audio from coming to light.
That is likely to cause a massive credibility blow to Thorburn, who has denied giving any interview to a reporter at Sydney Airport.
