New Idea claimed that ‘nothing would give her more satisfaction’ than beating her ex-husband at his own game, as she reportedly embarks on a new career in media.
But just hours later on Monday, Cassandra Thorburn unleashed her fury, penning a powerful open letter for Woman’s Day.
The 46-year-old stated that she ‘doesn’t need revenge’ after her partner of 21 years, Karl Stefanovic moved on with younger model, Jasmine Yarbrough, 33.
‘Don’t compare me to Jasmine!’ Cassandra Thorburn, 46, unleashed her FURY in a powerful open letter for New Idea on Monday, and said she ‘doesn’t need revenge’ after ex-husband Karl Stefanovic ‘left her’
‘I don’t feel the need to exact revenge on Karl for leaving me – I’m just happy to be starting a new chapter in my life. I’m most content spending time with my three children and making plans for our future,’ Cassandra wrote.
‘I find it very hurtful they feel the need to compare Karl’s new girlfriend Jasmine with me.
‘Karl and I created 21 years of memories – there’s certainly no competition between our years together and their lives now,’ the former journalist went on to say.
Cassandra added that she has no plans on embarking in a career in media, her next project simply being to release a children’s book early next year.

The brunette’s comments were in relation to a story published in Monday’s New Idea, that Cassandra is ‘weeks away’ from an announcement ‘that could make her even more successful than her Logie-winning ex.’
An alleged ‘insider’ told the publication: ‘Nothing would give her more satisfaction than beating Karl at his own game after everything he’s done to her.’
Cassandra met Karl, 43, at a party in Rockhampton, Queensland, in 1995, marrying that same year.
The former couple share three children together, Jackson, 18, Ava, 12, and River, 10.

Karl and Cassandra announced their split last September, and finalised their divorce later that month.
The Today show co-host reportedly met his new girlfriend Jasmine, 33, at the end of the same year at a party, and the pair have been dating since.
Following her split with Karl, Cassandra told Woman’s Day her ex-husband was ‘dead’ to her.
‘The children still have a father but I don’t have a husband. He really is dead to me and no, we won’t ever be friends again,’ she told the magazine.
