AMBER HARRISON’S ‘REVENGE CAMPAIGN’
LOVER GOT $427K TO ‘SHUT UP’
AN AFL great has been dragged into the scandal surrounding the former lover of Seven boss Tim Worner.

Amber Harrison used a company credit card to splurge on luxury accommodation and beauty treatments for herself and the wife of Essendon legend Mark “Bomber” Thompson.

The former Seven executive assistant paid $1313 to treat herself and Jana Clack at the Crown Metropol Melbourne on April 24 and 25, 2011.

Ms Harrison also booked a table at the now closed Gordon Ramsay restaurant Maze, writing in an email, “Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson will be one of the guests, do you mind putting in a request for a table away from the thoroughfare if possible?”

The Daily Telegraph has reviewed documents, including invoices, receipts and emails on Ms Harrison’s spending while at Seven and understands a lengthy internal audit concluded she spent $200,000 on purchases during the five years she was worked there

Purchases included international flights, rooms at five-star hotels for herself and others, furniture for her flat and even a pair of $522 Sophie Webster designer high heels.

Documents on her 2011 Melbourne getaway show that on April 15 Ms Harrison emailed Ms Clack writing, “3.30pm massage 30 mins, 4pm pool & spa etc, etc, relax, more gossip snack. 8pm dinner at Maze for 3 — too late or OK?”

Ms Harrison’s lover at the time, Nova FM boss Paul Jackson, stayed with her at the Crown and also went to the dinner. There is no suggestion Mr Jackson, Mr Thompson or Ms Clack knew Ms Harrison was using a Seven corporate credit card to pay during the stay at the Crown Metropol.

Ms Harrison left Seven in 2014 when an audit concluded she had misappropriated $14,000 — a figure which blew out as investigators looked further into her spending. At the same time she blew the whistle to management on her 18-month affair with Mr Worner.

When Ms Harrison left she signed a deal in which she agreed to not speak publicly about the affair or say anything disparaging about her former employer in exchange for a $400,000 payout to be paid in instalments.

However, after Ms Harrison used social media in December last year to go public about her affair with Mr Worner and release sensitive company documents, Seven’s lawyer’s claimed she had breached that deed.

She is now facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees after Seven sought a court order permanently restraining her from speaking about the affair.

She read out a statement in court saying she can’t pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees because the media giant’s “pockets for litigation are deep and appetite for it is endless”.

Basically Channel 7 boss shags assistant, assistant uses company credit card to pay for freebie for friend, friend is married to Geelong coach who used to play for Essendon.

So now he’s a “bomber legend” but usually he’s the “successful geelong coach” (saga fatigue)

Talk about a nothing story though. She used the card for Thompson’s wife yet his wife would have had no knowledge of it at all. Yet “afl legend dragged into scandal”

I can’t see how any media can drag Essendon into this. Is the thread title just for click bait by the OP??

Things aren’t so rosy for Ms Harrison these days.

This story cracks me up. Fcks boss, spends $14000 illegally on company credit cards, and then gets asked to leave channel 7… but here, take $400,000 to keep your mouth shut.

But, Doesn’t keep mouth shut. She really has it in for Tim Worner.

AMBER HARRISON’S ‘REVENGE SUPPLEMENTS PROGRAM’
LOVER GOT $427K TO ‘SHUT UP’

An AFL great has been dragged into the scandal surrounding the former lover of Seven Dank’s boss Tim Worner.

Amber Harrison used a company credit card to syringe on off premises luxury accommodation and treatments of unknown origins for herself and the wife of Essendon Supplements scandal overseer Mark “Bomber” Thompson.

The former Seven Dank’s executive assistant paid $1313 to treat herself and Jana Clack at the Crown Metropol Melbourne on April 24 and 25, 2011.
Ms Harrison also booked a table at the now mysteriously closed Gordon Ramsay “restaurant” Maze, covertly writing in an email, “Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson will be one of the patients, do you mind putting in a request for a table away from prying eyes and the thoroughfare if possible?”

Amber Harrison and Mark “Bomber” Thompson. Harrison used a company card to pay for suspicious treatments that could potentially fall under the ASADA prohibited list of substances, for herself, Thompson’s wife and 34 others.

The Daily Telegraph has reviewed documents, including invoices, possible medical receipts and suspicious emails on Ms Harrison’s spending while at Seven Danks and understands a lengthy internal forensic audit concluded she spent $200,000 on unsanctioned purchases during the five years she was worked there.

Purchases included covert international flights, possibly to Mexico, rooms at five-star hotels for herself and others, furniture for her flat, possibly vials of unlabeled undisclosed liquids, and even a pair of $522 Sophie Webster designer height enhancing footware.

Documents on her 2011 Melbourne getaway show that on April 15 Ms Harrison emailed Ms Clack writing, “3.30pm massage 30 mins, 4pm pool & spa, supplements etc, etc, relax, more gossip, smack. 8pm “dinner” at Maze for 3 — too late or OK?”

Invoices from Crown Metropol pharmacy show Ms Harrison used Seven Danks credit card to pay for the hotel and treatments. There is, however, no evidence she paid for the “dinner” at Maze and under the effect of height enhancing footwear, she may or may not have done a runner in record breaking time.

Ms Harrison’s lover at the time, Nova FM boss Paul Jackson, stayed with her at the Crown and also went to the “dinner”. There is no suggestion Mr Jackson, Mr Thompson or Ms Clack knew Ms Harrison was using a Seven Dank corporate credit card during the stay at the Crown Metropol. Nor the reason why she didn’t contact ASADA after “dinner” to confirm her location.

When Ms Harrison left she signed a “deal” in which she agreed to not speak publicly about the scandal or say anything disparaging about her former employer in exchange for a $400,000 payout to be paid in subcutaneous installments.
