Anthony Bell’s lawyer has told Waverley Local Court that the champion Sydney to Hobart racer is seeking a divorce from his wife, television presenter Kelly Landry, after he was served with an apprehended violence order (AVO).
Chris Murphy told the court that the claims behind the AVO application were “fallacious” and were made by someone “perhaps suffering a little bit of celebrity deprivation”.
The terms of the AVO prevent accountant and yachtsman Bell from coming near the former Getaway presenter within 12 hours of drinking or taking illicit drugs.
Despite not appearing in court, Murphy said Bell accepted the terms of the interim AVO.

The differing language displayed between his letter to his clients "the emotional, physical and mental wellbeing of Ms Landry and his daughters are all I care about" and his lawyer telling the court (and media) that he never wants to see his wife again etc (he realises she's the mother of his children right??) is horribly contradictory and Jekkyl & Hyde - frightening.
She sounds like she's better off, he sounds like a vindictive child because she's dared to call him on his (alleged) behaviour
