A Sydney podcaster has admitted to breaching an apprehended violence order (AVO), which was put in place to protect a former TV personality.
A lawyer for Megan Pustetto, who hosts celebrity gossip podcast So Dramatic, formally entered guilty pleas to two counts of contravening a prohibition or restriction in an AVO on her client’s behalf in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday.
The pleas follow dramas with Dannii Erskine, who appeared on the Seven Network’s Bride and Prejudice in 2019 and was recently granted a 52-day apprehended personal violence order against Pustetto.
According to court documents, an AVO was made “for the protection of Dannii Erskine, prohibiting or restricting the behaviour of the defendant Megan Pustetto”.
Under the AVO, Pustetto was prohibited from contacting or communicating with Erskine.
However, she has since pleaded guilty to two breaches of the order.
Details of the breaches remain unknown, with her lawyer telling the court representations were still to be made over the police facts.
The lawyer said Pustetto was living in Bali and wouldn’t be returning until the end of November.
The AVO was taken out after Pustetto published several pieces on her So Dramatic podcast and website claiming Erskine had faked her own death.
In 2023, a person purporting to be Erskine’s sister, Dee, told the controversial podcast Dannii had died in a car crash.
However, Erskine later came forward and revealed she was very much alive, and the death claim was a result of her Instagram account being hacked.
Pustetto published six episodes of her podcast detailing Erskine’s accident.
She is due to be sentenced on November 27.
