Mr Arvanitis strongly denies the claims and says they are defamatory.

Mr Arvanitis planned to sue all three women but will now only pursue the defamation suit against Ms Holder.
Court documents lodged to the Victorian County Court and obtained by The Age state Ms Holder shared a child with Mr Arvanitis.
The pair had been in a long-distance relationship, before moving in together and breaking up in 2015, according to the document.
The other two women were ‘casual’ relationships he had met on Tinder, Mr Arvanitis claims.
Mr Arvanitis claims Ms Holder also sent a letter to his sister-in-law Chantel Thornton and that the letters have ‘damaged beyond repair’ his relationship with his in-laws.
Ms Holder, who denies she sent the letter, has filed a defence claiming Mr Arvanitis spent $220,000 on cocaine, took meth and sold Viagra to colleagues while working at ANZ.
