Australian actor Josh Lawson has had an amorous influencer by his side for a year after sparking a holiday romance in Bali and introducing her to his ‘daddy dom’ fetish, but she was heartbroken when she found out he already had a long-term partner.
Fina, who is from Brunei and lives in London, met Lawson, 41, on the holiday island just after her divorce was over.
Fina told Chron Australia how she first met the Mortal Kombat actor through celebrity dating app Raya in May 2022.

They then met in Bali in August of the same year while she was vacationing there.
The couple’s relationship quickly blossomed and Lawson soon introduced her to his addiction and asked her to call him “Dad” while he called her “little girl”.
Fina admits she hadn’t heard of the ‘House of Lies’ actor before they met, but noted that tourists recognize him.
After their vacation in paradise came to an end, Fina and Lawson stayed in touch, regularly texting each other with pictures and sweet texts — though it was all part of his elaborate “web of lies,” she claims.
The news included images of Lawson shirtless in bed and the actor declaring that their romance was “more than a holiday fling.”
In one message, he wrote, “When I saw you in Bali, I knew there was something.” I just felt a connection to you right away.
“And when our bodies touched, dad found his little girl.”
He later admitted he was new to the “Daddy Dom” fetish, but said he was “surprised at how much it turns him on.”
Lawson regularly promised to see Fina again, she claims, but those plans never materialized.

Chron Australia has seen messages Lawson sent to Fina revealing plans to meet at the Cannes Film Festivals and in New York. She also claims he has spoken of flying to London from his home on the Gold Coast.
It wasn’t until those plans kept falling apart – almost a year into their holiday romance – that Fina realized something was wrong.
She told Chron Australia how her heart sank when she realized Lawson was already in a long-term relationship after researching on Instagram.
“It was all a web of lies,” she said.
“I was so excited about what he promised me. ‘It was all so super deceptive.’
Fina said she was so in love with Lawson that she was considering a career in Australia so they could get closer – and that she felt he could be “the next person in her life” after their six-year marriage began 2022 ended.
The social media influencer added that Lawson is “amazing” about his “Daddy Dom” fetish and doesn’t mind going along with it.
Fina, who is 1.70 meters tall, said he liked that she “looked young”.
“You’re like a little girl,” she claims he said.

Fina has decided to raise her voice to warn other women about the dangers of dating a famous person online – and how they can use their power to “manipulate” people.
“I don’t want that to happen to anyone else.” The only way to change someone’s behavior is to confront them.
“With his reasonably convincing acting skills, he convinced me how special I was to him.” He has repeatedly promised to visit me in London from the Gold Coast.
“He told me he was coming to London. I trust in these words.’
Fina texted Lawson’s friend Rebecca Moore after realizing she had been seduced.
Ms Moore responded and sympathized with Fina, saying his affair in Bali was “something he needs for his ego”.
She also revealed that she was in Bali when Fina met Lawson as the trip was for his birthday.
“Unfortunately, you’re not his only little girl,” Ms. Moore added. “He makes me call him dad too.”
