Emily Seebohm threw shade at her ex-boyfriend last night in a bitter message to her 41,000 Instagram followers.
The 26-year-old broke up with fellow Olympic swimmer Mitch Larkin this month amid rumors he was having an affair with another swimmer outside the Australian team.
She posted a note on her Instagram story on Monday night reading: ‘Something I’ve learned about people… if they do it once, they’ll do it again.’
Seebohm also posted a cryptic tweet which appeared to be addressed to Larkin and suggested that details of their break up will soon become public.
‘I’m over the drama you created. Now you can deal with what comes next,’ she wrote.

Seebohm reportedly discovered details of Larkin’s alleged affair on 12 July and immediately called off the relationship.
The pair were taking part in Treasury Brisbane’s ICON fashion show that night, with an insider claiming they saw Seebohm ‘leave the hotel and it looked to me like she was crying’.
‘They were not tight [backstage] like I had seen them previously and she looked quite agitated,’ a source told Daily Telegraph.
Seebohm announced the shock split to her Instagram followers the next day.
‘I would like to take this opportunity before more speculation and rumours are spread,’ she wrote.
‘Due to current events that have occurred, Mitch Larkin and I have decided to end our relationship and go our separate ways.
‘As always I appreciate your support and ask for your understanding and privacy on this matter,’ she said.
The swim star couple had bought a house together in Brisbane late last year.

On Sunday, the Olympic medalist flaunted her athletic body in a racy Instagram picture, just over a week after dramatically announcing her break-up.
The 26-year-old took to social media to share the image of herself hanging upside down on a pole with the caption: ‘This is the only bender I go on these days.’
The glamorous athlete wore nothing but lacy black underwear, a pink crop top and a pair of towering heels as she held her body up with an impressive handstand.
Fans congratulated the swimmer for her passion for pole dancing, praising her for posting the snap after her break-up.

She took to social media to confirm the sudden end of the relationship and received support from Larkin’s ex-girlfriend Meagen Nay who also spoke out about the break-up.
‘There is hard evidence in here, trust me,’ Nay wrote on social media in relation to the rumours.
She also posted an identical photo that Seebohm had posted on Instagram – an image overlaid with text stating ‘What is coming is better than what is gone’.

As the Australian swim team headed to the Great Barrier reef on Saturday, Larkin was notably absent from the trip.
But an Australian swim team spokesman told the Courier Mail it was ‘business as usual’ for the team and Larkin was focused on ‘getting his performance right’ for next month’s Pan-Pacific Championships.
Coincidentally, it was during the Pan-Pacific Championships Trials in Adelaide three weeks ago when rumours of the alleged affair surfaced, according to sources close to the pair.
Seebohm was spotted getting a new look on Friday with foils in her hair during a trip to the hairdresser in Brisbane.

Larkin, Seebohm and a spokesman for the Australian Swim Team declined to comment on the rumours of an alleged affair.
Swimmer and friend Grant Irvine said the team wants to respect the privacy of Emily and Mitch.
‘It’s their business,’ he told the Courier Mail.
Seebohm won Olympic gold in relay events in 2008 and 2012 and also has five World Championships golds and seven in the Commonwealth Games.
Larkin won five gold medals at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast earlier this year.
‘As always I appreciate your support and ask for your understanding and privacy on this matter,’ she said
