Online posts fuel feud
Pechey girlfriend target of abuse on social media
THE girlfriend of former bikie Brett “Kaos” Pechey has been targeted with derogatory posts including a photoshopped “pig’s snout” as part on an ongoing Instagram feud between Pechey and his former friend, Ben “Notorious” Geppert.
The escalation in the feud came after Pechey was granted bail this week in the Southport Magistrates Court, where he had appeared on charges that allege he threatened to stab police during a three-hour siege on the Gold Coast.
The former Bandidos bikie boss is headed to Perth after receiving bail on Wednesday.
It is understood his girlfriend, Rikki Louise Sutton, is going west with him to escape alleged harassment.
Pechey is only allowed back on the Gold Coast for court appearances.
Those restrictions have not stopped former Hells Angels and Finks member Ben Geppert from taking a swing at his former friend and Ms Sutton online.
Geppert yesterday posted on Instagram a photo of Ms Sutton with a “pig’s snout” surrounded by two police emojis.
“Onion”, a derogatory term for the girlfriend of a bikie, was written across the picture.
On Wednesday, just after Pechey was granted bail, Geppert also posted an old mugshot of Pechey.
“Quick brah take da pic while I’m bridging up, main stream will be on the walk way soon I don’t want em to see me! #ProtectionDog #peaHeart PIN HEAD,” the caption read.
Geppert took swipes at Pechey and Ms Sutton in the comments.
Ms Sutton is the sister of Geppert’s girlfriend, Allaina Vader.
In the comments section he and Ms Vader call Pechey a loser and pin head.
“He’s a girl so I guess to him it’s normal,” Geppert wrote in one of the comments.
Geppert and Pechey were close until their friendship began to deteriorate publicly in late February.
Geppert claimed Pechey is a “dog”, or police informant.
It is understood Ms Sutton and Ms Vader have not been speaking since their boyfriends began feuding.
Ms Sutton yesterday made an attempt to move on from the feud.
“There are two sides to every story, and then there are the screenshots,” she posted on Instagram. “To be continued.”
Earlier this week she posted a snap of herself and Pechey with a statement she would “have your back till the end”.
She also made accusations against Geppert and Ms Vader on her page.
“The truth will come out in court for Allaina and co at a later date,” she wrote.
“I can’t comment publicly for now. I wish her all the best in life.”
Pechey needs to be in Perth by April 9 to make his first reporting date with West Australian police.
