She slammed producers on The Bachelor for their ‘negative portrayal’ of her brother Troy during hometown visits on the show.
And now Tara Pavlovic has shown further support for her sibling in a playful post on social media.
The 27-year-old leaned closer to her brother and told him she loved him in a video posted to her Instagram story on Friday.

But Troy took the opportunity to mock his own appearance on The Bachelor, which was infamous for a ‘confrontation’ with Matty ‘J’ Johnson.
‘Liar,’ he playfully responded to Tara, who laughed at the joke.
Last week, the favourite to be the next Bachelorette hit out at the show’s producers, who she claimed heavily edited a segment to make it look like Troy called Matty J a liar.
‘Troy was edited so badly. He was very welcoming towards Matty. They cut the word liar from a completely [different] conversation and put it elsewhere to make it dramatic,’ Tara said in an Instagram post last week.

Tara took to social media after the episode aired to defend her brother, who had appeared to give Matty a hostile reception during home visits.
During one conversation, Troy grilled Matty over whether he planned to pick Tara as the winner.
‘You’ve got, what, four girls still in the competition. You’re gonna break some hearts, aren’t you?’ Troy asked.
Tara emerged as a fan favourite to win Matty’s heart, but was eventually eliminated in the final three
Matty, trying to calm the situation, said: ‘I wish I could tell you right now if I was gonna end up with Tara… or not. At the moment, I don’t know the answer to that question.’
Not pulling any punches, Troy appeared to shoot back: ‘Liar.’
In her latest Instagram post, the ‘bronde’ beauty looked stunning in a plunging, bright blue wrap dress, and wore her hair in a side swept bun.
Fellow Bachelor contestant Florence Alexandra also made an appearance in Tara’s Instagram story, who she introduced as her ‘Dutch friend’.
Uncomfortable: Matty later said he found the whole experience very awkward
