In 2011, former Home And Away actor Dan Ewing, 32, was charged with assaulting his then-fiancée, Marni Little, during a dispute at their Northern Beaches home.
And although the charges were later dropped, on Saturday, Marni took to social media to draw attention to the past altercation.
Taking to Instagram to use the ‘#METOO’ hashtag on an article that saw a direct quote from Dan reading; ‘I don’t regret a thing’, the 34-year-old revealed that after two years of silence she wanted to speak up.

‘After two-years of one-sided articles I wanted to speak up,’ she exclusively told Daily Mail Australia.
‘I was protecting my son by not giving interviews earlier but repeated requests to leave us out of Dan’s media have been refused.’
Taking to Instagram, the brunette beauty posted a photo of the ‘I don’t regret a thing’ TV Week cover and captioned shocked and confused emoji faces with the captions, ‘Not a thing?’ and ‘#METOO’ – the viral phrase that’s recently been used to denounce assault and harassment.

The couple married in 2012 and welcomed their first child Archer Grason in September 2014 before calling it quits two years later.
‘Dan and Marni Ewing amicably decided to end their three year marriage in December, 2015 due to irreconcilable differences,’ read a statement released to New Idea at the time.
‘The couple remain friends, and will continue to co-parent their son, Archer, who will be two in September.’
‘We wish nothing but the best for each other and are both committed to focusing our attention on Archer,’ they added.
