Tinder lothario Gable Tostee, also known as Eric Thomas, has lashed out after grabs of his new dating profile were circulated online.
Mr Thomas made headlines after New Zealander Warriena Wright plunged to her death from his Gold Coast 14-storey apartment block on August 8, 2014 after meeting up with the self-confessed playboy through Tinder.
He was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in 2016 but public interest in the case has remained high – with women posting screen shots of his latest Tinder account and circulating them on Twitter just this week.

‘There are still others out there trying to vilify me. Please do not let this go unchallenged and report for harassment,’ the 33-year-old posted on Facebook.
‘I’ve saved it all and intend to file for both defamation and criminal harassment.’
The original Tweet shared two images of Mr Thomas from his online dating account – one where he is wearing a ‘Make Australia Great Again’ cap and another weather a flower lei around his neck.
The tweet read: ‘Remember Gable Tostee? The guy involved in the tinder date balcony death?
‘Well he’s on Melbourne tinder now going by the name Eric. Go figure.’
Mr Tostee changed his name to Mr Thomas and moved to New Zealand in 2016 with a partner, before moving back to the Gold Coast.

Mr Thomas is no stranger to controversy following his highly publicised trial and has shared several provocative posts to his social media accounts since.
In a Facebook post last year Mr Thomas wrote: ‘The best cure for feminism is a good root,’ accompanied by a photo of a raised middle finger.
The backlash he received on social media failed to deter him, as he went on to make more controversial posts.
Mr Tostee has also referred to his murder acquittal in an online post, saying: ‘the only thing I murder is p***y’.
