Billionaire heiress Heloise Pratt has accused her former husband Alex Waislitz of using the couple’s shared assets to provide “loans” to his singer-actress fiancee, Rebekah Behbahani.

The claims were revealed at a court hearing on Friday where Pratt is suing Waislitz for the alleged mismanagement of a trust controlled by the now estranged couple.

Pratt launched action in the Victorian Supreme Court last year to remove her former husband as a director of their jointly controlled private investment company, Jamahjo, alleging he had falsified records and had been improperly paid $1.147 million from a jointly controlled family trust without her knowledge or input.

Waislitz, who runs the Thorney investment business, hit back at the claims in his defence filed before Christmas, saying his former wife had abdicated her role as a director through her limited interest in their business affairs over several years.

Since breaking up in 2015, both billionaires have moved on to new relationships, with Waislitz engaged to Behbahani and Pratt in a relationship with former Noiseworks frontman Jon Stevens. Behbahani, who performs under the stage name Behani, has been busy over the past year promoting her reality television series about her journey towards becoming a recording artist.

On Friday morning, Pratt’s counsel Allan Myers, KC, argued in court it was necessary to hold a preliminary hearing to resolve whether an independent trustee should be placed to oversee the trust until the trial, given there were already concerns about the management of the trust.

“And it’s not only a distribution of money under the trust. It is, for example, the companies making loans,” Myers said.

“We’re very concerned about that. Indeed, the evidence is Mr Waislitz’s girlfriend will be getting loans from the trust, and they’ll call them loans – though they aren’t – until they work out what else they could possibly call them. So we say that there are matters that require the position of the trustee to be clarified,” Myers said.
