Aysha Learmonth says she was "hacked" when cryptic Instagram of ex Salim Mehajer was posted.

Aysha Learmonth, the estranged wife of disgraced former Auburn City Council deputy mayor Salim Mehajer, says the image of the property developer posted to her Instagram account on Friday evening was the result of her account being “hacked”.

“Don’t judge my choices without understanding my reasons,” the since-deleted photo caption read, with a love heart emoji on the end.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, Ms Learmonth posted on her account, and said she was not responsible for the cryptic post.

"No longer hacked... for now," the text post read.

Police obtained an AVO against Mr Mehajer on behalf of Ms Learmonth in July 2016 - just weeks before the couple's first wedding anniversary - which stipulated Mr Mehajer was forbidden him from going within 50m of his estranged wife and from contacting her outside her lawyers for a month.

At that time, The Daily Telegraph reported that Mr Mehajer once placed a tracking device on Ms Learmonth's car and bombarded her with as many as 70 phone calls in a single day.

In documents submitted to Wollongong Local Court, it was revealed that Mehajer tried to report his estranged wife as a missing person in July that year, telling police he feared she'd been kidnapped as she was five hours late for an engagement.

He then reportedly showed police maps from a tracking device that he had allegedly installed on her car, the publication reported.

The court also heard that Mehajer managed to track down her new workplace by calling numerous businesses until he ultimately found the right one.

Footage obtained by A Current Affair in August heard the 30-year-old shout,"Aysha you've got five minutes to give me a call.

"If you don't call me in five minutes I'm going to rape your mum. Your mum and your f***ing dad. Call me now."
