Channel 7 is fighting efforts by Cassandra Sainsbury’s lawyers to block a tell-all interview with her fiancé Scott Broadbridge from airing.
The 22-year-old’s Australian lawyers lodged an urgent injunction in the NSW Supreme Court to be heard before the Sunday Night report screens at 8.30pm.
Previews hinted that Mr Broadbridge would concede she would confess her role in smuggling 5.8 kilograms of cocaine out of Colombia via Bogota Airport last month.
He was also expected to explain what he knows about the international drug syndicate behind the cocaine deal, including why Sainsbury was in Colombia.
Sainsbury, who was still behind bars in Colombia, was understood to have given her partner permission to sell his side of the story.
In a promo for the Channel 7 interview Broadbridge says his partner’s flight to Colombia was a surprise to him.
Sainsbury’s mother Lisa Evans and sister Khala Sainsbury reportedly sold their story to the Channel Nine program for about $1 million.
Ms Sainsbury’s mother and sister travelled to Colombia this week for the first time since her arrest on April 11.
Last week Sainsbury expressed concern with her family’s attempt to sell her story. She urged them to wait until her trial was finished.
‘Once I’ve been sentenced I’m happy to talk about what happened because my case isn’t in jeopardy then,’ she said.
