Rebecca Jane Klodinsky – the owner of IIXIIST swimwear and the girlfriend of recently retired Geelong defender Lachie Henderson – and her ex-lover Gregory Peter O’Shea are being pursued for breach of contract by company, ABF Smith Pty Ltd.ABF Smith is seeking $371,917, plus interest, after Klodinsky and Mr O’Shea allegedly defaulted on a written agreement, made in August 2016, to buy 800,000 shares, worth $800,000, in the Lionsgate Income Fund No. 1 Unit Trust.Court documents obtained from the Brisbane District Court allege Klodinsky and Mr O’Shea paid a $100,000 deposit, but failed to cough up the remaining $700,000.Klodinsky, 31, and Mr O’Shea, have also now launched counterclaims against each other.Klodinsky claimed she “had limited experience in property and commercial transactions” when she entered into the deal with Mr O’Shea.She said she was asked to urgently sign the deed to assist Mr O’Shea’s business and was told her former partner would be liable for any loss or money required to be paid under agreement.Klodinsky said Mr O’Shea, who she says she began an intimate relationship with in December 2015, “had, or professed to have, experience or expertise in real estate, property and, or in the alternative, commercial transactions”.Klodinsky is asking that the court order Mr O’Shea indemnify her for any loss or damage suffered by ABF Smith — and for any money being found to be owed by her.She is also seeking damages for breach of the indemnity agreement by Mr O’Shea.In his counterclaim, Mr O’Shea, who now lives in Melbourne, described Klodinsky’s claim that she had limited experience in property and commercial transactions as “embarrassing” given that she had owned and operated IIXIIST since 2014.He denied agreeing to indemnify his ex, saying the pair had received legal advice before signing on the dotted line, and that Klodinsky “did so freely and voluntarily.”In the tit-for-tat legal battle, he also disputes when their relationship began, saying they were living together from February 2015.Klodinsky and Mr O’Shea did not respond to requests for comment.
