Mark Latham’s ex-fiancee will be asked to hand over any records she holds of booking sex workers on the same day the former Labor leader celebrated his 64th birthday in February, in the latest legal salvo between the former couple.
In a new subpoena served on Nathalie May Matthews, 37, Mr Latham’s legal team asserts she has several ‘aliases’ including Nathalie Darrough – which is believed to be her maiden name – and her Muslim name, Maryam Abdullah.
The legal document also requires Ms Matthews to hand over all entries, postings, images and videos from her OnlyFans account from January 2021 to the current date.
The fresh legal filing specifically zeros in on the date of Mr Latham’s 64th birthday on February 28, 2025.
It requests a copy of all communications including emails, receipts and credit card records for “the booking of escorts on February 28, 2025 at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney with Red Door Escort Agency”.
News.com.au does not suggest that Ms Matthews made the booking or that she or Mr Latham had sex with escorts, only that his legal team has sought documents in a subpoena.
Sex work is legal in NSW and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing.
Mr Latham said the subpoenas were designed to test his ex-lover’s claim he made her have sex with other men.
“She’s falsely claimed in her private application to the court that I made her have sex with other people, so this allows us to interrogate the people that, unprompted by me… she’s had sex with, and there are many,” Mr Latham said.
“So the (subpoenas are) directed in part ... to get information that’s relevant to her application so it can be tested in the court, which, of course, is the process of justice.”
As to the claim he defecated on his former girlfriend during sex, he dismissed as “nonsense, complete nonsense”.
“(She is) making things up… as I said earlier in the week, most of the things she’s complaining about, or 95 per cent of the things she’s complaining about, she initiated,” he claimed.
Red Door Agency promotes itself as a leading agency, providing high class escorts for couples seeking a “ménage a trois”.
“Have you always wanted to add a beautiful woman into your bedroom universe? Do you imagine having a woman who you and your significant other could enjoy?,” the website states.
“Our agency is high-end, elite, and most importantly, discreet. No one will ever know you and your partner enjoyed a Red Door threesome unless you tell them.”
‘Sexed up’ relationship
Mr Latham has spoken out over the breakdown of the relationship, insisting on Saturday it was a “sexed up” relationship until their break up in May, when he alleges Ms Matthews confronted him “covered in mud”.
“This was like something from World War Z,” he said.
“(But) one thing’s abundantly clear – what we had for over two years was a sexed-up consensual open arrangement between adults with a fair bit of other contacts, such as fun days of the races thrown in. I didn’t make any moral judgement about her.
“I just enjoyed our time together, and it was enjoyable for 90 per cent of the time. The other (10) per cent could be dark and disturbing, but I rationalised it by thinking at my age, an age at which my father had already dropped dead, 90 per cent beat 10 per cent.
“But ultimately, there was an incident that ended it all as I mentioned earlier: the races.”
Leaked sexts
Leaked texts have laid bare the breakdown in Mr Latham’s relationship with his ex-lover and the couple’s habit of graphic sexting exchanges and the use of tracking devices to find a “f*ck parlour”.
Ms Matthews has sought an AVO from police but the matter is yet to be heard.
Mr Latham denies the allegations and has not been charged with any criminal offence.
The texts, first published by The Daily Telegraph are sexually charged and graphic.
In one text exchange on February 20 at 11:06 am, the former Labor leader writes, “Master’s c**k needs relief too. Very hard thinking about you.”
The 64-year-old follows up with a series of emojis including a purple eggplant and a tongue. “Haven’t c*m in days,” he writes.
“Lots of c**k tension.”
The messages continue throughout the day with Mr Latham referencing parliamentary work around 8pm.
“Made it back for the first vote after dinner,” he writes. “I needed that. You’re amazing.”
‘Master’ nickname revealed
Ms Matthews has alleged he asked her to call him “master” and engaged in degrading sexual acts in a shocking apprehended violence application.
She outlined the claims in an application to the NSW Local Court and is seeking a no-contact order for up to two years.
Mr Latham who is a New South Wales Legislative Council member, has issued an emphatic denial about the claims.
“The claims you’ve listed there are absolute rubbish,” Mr Latham said.
“Comical in fact.”
Mr Latham said the relationship was entirely consensual and he never pressured her to have sex with other men.
He says they had an “open relationship”.
‘Degrading’ sexual acts alleged
Ms Matthews is seeking an order preventing Mr Latham from going within 100m of her, alleging an “ongoing, reasonable fear of harassment, intimidation, and potential harm”.
“Throughout our relationship, the defendant engaged in a sustained pattern of emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, and financial abuse, including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash,” the application states.
“Forcing degrading sexual acts, pressuring me to engage in sexual acts with others, demanding I call him “master,” telling me I was his property, and repeatedly telling me that my only value to him was for sex to demean and control me.”
News.com.au does not suggest the claims are true, only that they have been made in an application to the NSW Local Court in pursuit of an AVO.
In Ms Matthews original AVO application she claims Mr Latham encouraged her to engage in sexual acts with others, “demanding I call him master telling me I was his property, and repeatedly telling me that my only value to him was for sex to demean and control me”.
Billionaire dragged into text mess
On Friday, fresh texts revealed that Mr Latham joked with his ex-lover that billionaire Richard White owed her “big money” and urged her to seek compensation for a nondisclosure agreement in new leaked texts.
Messages exchanged between Mr Latham and Ms Matthews also reveal that the former Labor leader joked she should perform oral sex on Mr White.
In the sordid text, he suggests she should do so to “celebrate” after a series of board members quit the tech company in the wake of a sex scandal controversy.
Mr White is not accused of any wrongdoing.
News.com.au does not suggest Ms Matthews and Mr White engaged in a sexual relationship, only that Mr Latham joked about his partner performing oral sex on the 70-year old billionaire.
In the text messages published by The Australian, Mr Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article about the scandal engulfing the billionaire’s company.
“He owes you big money,” Mr Latham wrote.
“Get the compo NDA!!!”
According to The Australian newspaper, Ms Matthews replied there were “not really grounds”. “I could kill my professional career,” she wrote.
“Remember I don’t have a secure job.”
The pair had a series of discussions about the billionaire with Mr Latham predicting Mr White “coming back as CEO will make him a huge target”.
On February 24, Mr Latham sent Ms Matthews a news article noting several WiseTech board members had quit.
“He will want you to suck his c**k to celebrate,” Mr Latham wrote.
“What an honour!!”
He added a shocked face emoji.
Mr Latham then suggested Mr White would soon be “back as CEO” which would “increase share price”.
“So buy 30k at 2pm today,” he wrote.
“Bargain.”
When Ms Matthews jokingly questioned whether this was “insider trading”, Mr Latham replied: “Insider f**king.”
“Haha,” he wrote. “Not insider trading at all.”
Latham denies insider trading
On Saturday, Mr Latham again denied he ever bought or sold WiseTech shares despite discussing financial information about the company with Ms Matthews – which he learned of through her private conversations with Mr White.
“I’ve never bought a share in my life,” he declared to reporters.
“Next question.”
Mr Latham would also not deny he had sex with Ms Matthews in his parliamentary office, insisting people could “write whatever they like”.
“Members of parliament are allowed to run their own office,” he said.
“These are not matters of public interest … but the truth is, members of parliament have privilege for whatever happens in their office, (it) is their own domain.”
Statement from Ms Matthews’ solicitor
In a statement, Ms Matthews solicitor said she has no comment to make at this point in time.
“However, what is disappointing in this situation, where an individual has sought help from the judicial system, and before the court has even had the ability to hear the matter, is that my client has been subjected to character assassination, reputational damage and trial by media,” she said.
“Domestic violence is a serious issue in our society.
“Any individual in genuine fear should have the right to seek protection without vilification.”
