Legal Representation

A spokesperson for Tossoun issued a statement addressing the charges on Saturday night. 'Ms Tossoun is taking this matter extremely seriously and has retained lawyers to represent her interests,' they told the publication. 'Now that the matter is before the court, she will not be making any further comment.'

It is not yet known what relationship exists between Ms Jreissati and Tossoun. The marketing director of family-owned winery Levantine Hill Estate, Ms Jreissati is often seen at society events, but largely keeps a quiet social media presence. She has since disabled her social media platforms.

Tossoun also recently deactivated her accounts, however she still has a profile on The Richmond Dentist website, where she worked as the practice manager. 'She oversees all operations of the clinic, and mostly works behind the scenes to ensure patients have a smooth experience,' her bio reads. 'Amy's three young children keep her quite busy, and on occasion will make surprise appearances at The Richmond Dentist.'

Reality TV Connection

The Herald Sun reported in February that Tossoun had been shortlisted to appear on the reboot of the Real Housewives of Melbourne series, which first launched in Australia in 2014. It wouldn't be the first time Tossoun has made it on the silver screen. She previously appeared on the 2023 season of The Block alongside her ex-husband, when they purchased the Hampton East property for a 'bargain' price of $3.035 million. They attended the filmed auction day and then travelled by helicopter to celebrate at the races.

Tossoun has also attended star-studded events like the invitation-only Glamour on the Grid party at the Australian Grand Prix, and the Melbourne Cup Carnival, and has also featured in magazines like Vogue Australia.

Her estranged brother, Tony Farag, was charged in March with stealing event passes for the recent Australian Grand Prix. He is due to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court in September.

Daily Mail has contacted Ms Jreissati and The Richmond Dentist for comment.
