The ex-partners of Vince Colosimo once discussed confronting him together about his ‘secret double life’ – as it’s revealed the star has taken on a surprising new role talking to kids about bullying.
Daily Mail Australia has previously revealed Colosimo, who is best known for his portrayal of Alphonse Gangitano in the first Underbelly TV series, and as Neville Bartos in the movie Chopper, was embroiled in an ugly spat between his long-time public partner Sabella Sugar and his secret lover of 20 years.
Chelsea – not her real name – said she attempted to organise a sit down meeting with Sugar and Colosimo in the hope of confronting the actor about his double life.

‘At one stage I even said to her let’s all meet up in the same room so we can confront him so he can’t deny it anymore and can’t play us against each other or play the ‘he said she said games’. But she didn’t want to because she knew I wasn’t lying.’
Colosimo has refused to address the allegations, with Sugar confirming she has since split up with him.
The troubled actor was spotted in Melbourne last Friday alongside his new lawyer Kimble Stynes and a woman believed to be his psychologist at a National Bullying Prevention Week gig.
The psychologist has been providing ongoing treatment to Colosimo and his daughter Lucia, who has also been moonlighting on OnlyFans.
The troubled actor was a keynote speaker at the Bully Zero breakfast, which raised the eyebrows of more than a few concerned members of the public who questioned his suitability.
The organisation prides itself on delivering ‘evidence-based bullying prevention workshops’ to schools across Australia, raising fears the drug-addled thespian might attend at schools.
Bully Zero CEO Janet Grima did not respond to Daily Mail Australia’s inquiries.
It was revealed last month that Colosimo claimed he had suffered from the hideous effect of methamphetamine use and addiction dating back to at least 2012.
One former friend of the actor, who asked to remain anonymous, said he had been well aware of Colosimo’s drug use since his rise to stardom in the late 1980s.
‘Back then it was cocaine. But eventually he found his drug of choice, which was meth,’ he said.
Colosimo’s rampant drug addiction had been used to convince a magistrate he could not repay $61,858 in unpaid fines.
‘He’s got every addiction there is,’ Chelsea said.

Colosimo’s former mate claimed the actor not only couldn’t afford to pay his fines, but had, at times, failed to pay his drug dealers.
The former friend claimed it was Colosimo’s constant womanising that eventually ended his marriage to beloved Aussie actress Jane Hall.
The former couple met in 1994 on the set of A Country Practice but separated in 2007 after 11 years together.

Things turned nasty between the two after a bitter property dispute over their North Sydney home, which they shared and renovated and was eventually taken to the Supreme Court.
‘He’s always had girls on the go at any one time,’ the former friend said.
In 2017, actress Diana Glenn announced her split with Colosimo after eight years together.
‘It was the best thing Diana ever did packing up and leaving Vince,’ the former friend said. ‘

Sources have told Daily Mail Australia Colosimo continues to deny the most recent claims he continued to carry-on a relationship with Chelsea after she was branded an ‘extortionist’ by him in January last year.
It is understood Colosimo claims the texts provided to Daily Mail Australia have been doctored.
Chelsea said it was folly for the actor to continue to lie about their relationship.
‘I have 20 year’s worth of text messages to him that can prove everything I say and that’s why it blows my mind as to how they could be so stupid to think they could say all that stuff about me and get it published in the papers and think they can get away with it,’ Chelsea said.
‘There would be CCTV footage of us together just a month ago at Bunnings, he helped me get some netting for my house. He even wrote it in my birthday message.’
Colosimo has refused to respond to Daily Mail Australia, with Mr Stynes accusing the publication of ‘bullying’ his client.
