A former Miss Australia was found guilty in court of emotional abuse and threatening her ex-husband.
On Wednesday, March 5, Kathryn Isobel Hay, 49, was Miss Australia and Miss Tasmania in 1999, according to the Associated Press of Australia (AAP).
Hay pleaded not guilty to emotional abuse or intimidation in 2023 before facing a hearing last year, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
She was accused of emotionally abusing her ex-partner Troy Shane Richardson within a timeframe that occurred between January 2014 and November 2022 on the ABC. The media said the former couple was together from 2010 to 2022 and shared their two children.
Australian labor politician Hay (formerly a former member of the Tasmanian Parliament) was found guilty of “most details” in every nine news.

Richardson told the hearing in 2024 that his ex-partner had verbally abused while together and accused her of threatening him with violence, beating him and beating him several times with his shoes.
The ABC added that the hay also threw a bowl of cereal at him and often abused him online. Media reports said Hay claimed she was a victim of abuse.
Richardson said he encountered hay at the dog show in 2009, and then they ended in 2012, after telling the court that their relationship worsened around 2013 after their second child was born.
“She often debates in public just to make me feel frustrated,” he said, saying the alleged abuse, alleged that the suspect beat him in 2020, saying he had dark eyes.
The following year, according to the AAP, Hay was detained by police after being accused of slapping her then-partner partner. A domestic violence order was filed against her, but the victim claimed that the suspect “later asked him to revoke the order.”
“The prosecutor’s case is a case in which the defendant controls and abuses the complainant,” Justice Simon Brown told the court Wednesday.
“It’s the defense case that’s the case,” Brown said.
Hay reportedly was a Labour Party member in bass seats in northern Tasmania between 2002 and 2006, and reportedly claimed the couple’s finances were “full control” by her former partner, the publication said. However, Brown claims that this may not be the case, as ABC added that she allegedly bought a property in Norwood, northern Tasmania.
“The evidence here proves that it is the defendant [Hay] Who is the main mover…she paid a handsome, somewhat over-exaggerated price [for the property]. The property is registered under her name and her name. Brown said, according to the exit.

“She has caused complaints over the years,” Brown said. “If the defendant stops thinking, she should know that her actions will cause her husband to be threatened.”
