However, the case against Gray and her co-accused collapsed after the first mention hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on May 28, when Moslehi Roudi suddenly, and without explanation, retracted his statement of complaint.
Moslehi Roudi declined to comment.
“I’ve got nothing to say to you brother,” the 27-year-old bodybuilder said, when contacted by The Age.
Gray, who lives in Queensland, admits she was at the South Melbourne gym at the time of the attack, but denies she instructed the men to assault Moslehi Roudi.
“I did not know that they were going to be armed when I went in … I can’t tell them what to do. I was running around the gym making sure there was no one to witness that so they didn’t traumatise anyone. In my head it’s my gym and I can do whatever I want,” Gray told The Age.
Despite the withdrawal of all charges against Gray and her co-accused, she remains under police investigation over another alleged attempt to seize control of the gym.

Corporate documents and emails obtained by this masthead reveal ownership of Halo Fitness South Melbourne Pty Ltd was transferred to Gray on February 15, when she was also appointed as sole director and gained access to the company bank account.
The changes to the corporate register were made by Gold Coast accountant Andrew Ters, who was acting on email instructions purportedly sent by Moslehi Roudi.
Gray then advised Ters in an email on February 23 that “AK said he sent through an email with the documents attached.”
“AK has told me this is really time sensitive as he has to go into a shareholders’ meeting this afternoon. If you could please process as soon as possible it would be greatly appreciated,” Gray said in the email.
Police officers from the Redcliffe Criminal Investigation Branch in Queensland are now investigating allegations the email purportedly sent by Moslehi Roudi to Ters was actually sent from a fake account, according to emails obtained by The Age.
Ters confirmed he had spoken to police as part of their investigation.
“It was a fake email from what I’m told. It had AK’s name on it and we initially thought it was AK’s email, he’d signed it and we thought it was from him,” Ters said.
The Age does not suggest Ters acted improperly.
Gray admits creating a fake email account in her former husband’s name.
“I created a whole identity. I’ll take accountability for that, but it’s rightfully my gym from the start anyway. I paid for it. I’ll cop the charge for that. I don’t care,” she said.
Moslehi Roudi regained control of the gym by shifting the business into a new corporate entity Halo Gym Group Pty Ltd. However, it was abruptly closed last month and all equipment has been removed from the premises.
The estranged couple are also in dispute over a loan that Gray claims she made to her former partner.
Gray said she lent the money with the proceeds of a cryptocurrency business she has operated over the past decade, but concedes there were no loan documents between the pair.
SMS messages reveal Gray threatening Moslehi Roudi, who was born in Iran, with deportation if the alleged debt is not settled.
“You will be deported before you get a chance to take the business from me. I’m asking you nicely to do the right thing as you promised. Be the man you led me to believe you are,” Gray said in an SMS message.
