The multi-millionaire boss of UltraTune is locked in an ugly legal battle with his glamorous ex-girlfriend after the blonde bombshell secretly taped the automotive tycoon and handed the recordings over to police.
Sean Buckley lawyers have logged an application to the Federal Court for an injunction to stop about 100 recordings from ever being made public.
Jennifer Cruz Cole said she made the recordings because she needed proof about certain aspects of their relationship, which ended in December.
The model who has a two-year-old daughter with Mr Buckley told the Herald Sun she thought no one would believe her if she didn’t have something to back up her claims.

It is not clear what’s contained in the recordings but Ms Cole has spoken candidly about the time the couple spent together and some of the stranger facets of their relationship.
Ms Cole said she was forced to take a lie-detector test to prove her fidelity after Mr Buckley bought her an engagement ring.
The couple first met on the set of an UltraTune commercial featuring Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and AFL great Warwick Capper.
Ms Cole was cast alongside the Hollywood star in the comedic ‘Unexpected Situations’ TV ad that aired about a decade ago.
In 2017, after meeting at Crown Casino in Melbourne they formally started dating.
From that point they were ‘inseparable’ and ‘got along really well’.
‘He was fun to be with, it was easy, obviously there was the nice luxury part of life,’ Ms Cole said.

The elective surgery nurse was initially drawn to the automotive entrepreneur because she ‘prefers older men’.
‘Hot guys who are young and cool are good to look at but I like being courted. It was a lavish lifestyle. I was completely delusional these kinds of people existed – I had never been exposed to that kind of money,’ she said.
She said the two had ‘amazing times’ and that she was fascinated by his lavish lifestyle.
For most of their relationship the two lived at Crown Casino where Ms Cole had a weekly ‘allowance’ of about $1750.
Mr Buckley’s lawyers said the businessman spent about $300,000 on her rent, hand bags, jewellery and other luxury items.
But the model says the ugly battle the two are locked in is not about the money which has now dwindled down to $463.

In the midst of Melbourne’s coronavirus outbreak which shut down the city for most of the year, she worked several weekends as a nurse to help out during the crisis.
But Ms Cole claims Mr Buckley, who is in his 60s, was so concerned about contracting the virus he offered to pay her double what she was getting to stop working during the pandemic.
Police have also spoken to two other Melbourne-based business associates of Mr Buckley in relation to the tapes.
Both men have ongoing disputes with the UltraTune juggernaut, which now has about 300 franchises across Australia.
Jimmy ‘Mr Vegas’ Seoud, who once ran Gold Coast strip club Toybox Showgirls is one of the men – and the other is Anthony Swords, a former managing director of Gattocorp who worked for UltraTune for two years.

Mr Seoud said the recordings were concerning.
Mr Swords said he ‘felt sick to his stomach’ after hearing the tapes.
But Mr Buckley’s lawyers have refuted the claims.
‘He (Mr Buckley) doesn’t fear anything on there – it’s normal girlfriend-boyfriend stuff, mood swings, fights, what can you say? He just thinks it is part of trying to get money … to hold them against him, but it won’t work.’
His legal team maintains the recordings were made without his knowledge and therefore unlawful.
They also claim the tapes may have been ‘cut and spliced’.
