After confessing to biting and hitting her former fiance Sam Cochrane, Tara Pavlovic has fled Australia’s shores, jetting off to seek solace in Europe.

But while Tara has been putting on a brave front, posing with glasses of champagne on her business class flight and checking into four-star hotels in Sweden’s Gothenburg, sources say the 28-year-old is increasingly worried after fans have called for her to be charged with assault.

This comes after she shockingly claimed Sam “pushed her” to hit him after they got into a fight the night of their engagement party.

One e fan wrote on social media, “Domestic mestic violence is wrong, end of. Not sure why this trashy woman an thinks it’s acceptable or is making excuses.”

Another other insisted the police should ld take action and arrest her. “She She needs to be [arrested]. He would ould be if the shoe was on the other ther foot.”

Even en the airline Tara flew with has been een called into question for allegedly edly giving her free flights. “Is it true you gave Tara Pavlovic free business class flights in exchange ange for social media posts while she admitted she abused @samual.cochrane. Not good for a ‘family’ brand,” wrote the fan.

Meanwhile, Tara is believed to be concerned about the strain the revelations have put on her new romance with Gold Coast plumber Nick Shepherdson.

‘Domestic violence is wrong, end of’

“Nick’s friends and family have raised some concerns about her behaviour,” says a source. “Nick’s just a really nice, down-to-earth guy, who doesn’t want any drama.”

As Tara has previously told Woman’s Day, her boyfriend Nick is a “hardworking tradie who treats me like a princess – he even cooks for me”.
