Bernard Tomic's girlfriend Donay Meijer is reportedly angry at pictures of her that have appeared in a lad's magazine.
The 21-year-old Gold Coast student and model, who has been dating tennis player Tomic for about six months, was photographed in January 2010 for a council initiative aimed at swimwear designers. However, she was said to be annoyed to discover that the images had resurfaced in Zoo.
Tomic told The Daily Telegraph: "I know the photos are very, very old. It's stuff that gets thrown at us [and] we can't do anything about that. She's not too flattered. She'd prefer not to be in any of them."
Meijer's mother Dorothy added: "I was shocked to see my daughter in that magazine... it is not a nice magazine."
During the recent Australian Open, Meijer said of their relationship: "I'm happy to just support Bernard in any way I can. I am happy for the focus to be on his tennis."
Her mum said: "They are a lovely couple and I am happy for them but I don't want to get in trouble by talking about it. She's very academic and she was getting a lot of modelling work before she returned to her studies."
Tomic will soon face charges of dangerous driving in an Australian court.
