Three women who dated the same financial consultant are at the centre of a defamation lawsuit after they allegedly penned a letter to his fiancée telling her to leave him.
Melbourne man Constantine Arvanitis claims the one-page letter was sent to his partner Melanie Thornton and warned her that he was dangerous, violent and a sex addict.
Mr Arvanitis strongly denies the claims and says they are defamatory.
The letter was allegedly written by Selina Holder and two other women, who have not been named, who referred to themselves as the ‘sisterhood’, The Age reported.
‘We have to expose him,’ the letter allegedly read. ‘He will take all your money. He has to be stopped.’
‘You must contact us so we can protect you from this evil person. We all want to help you. We are in Melbourne together so please meet with us.’

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.
