The letter's contents were later posted by Emma Walters to her Twitter page. The identity of the note's sender is unknown, although the police said they were investigating the incident. In a quote to the paper, Emma stated that she is seeking a divorce, wants custody of the children, restraints on John, and for him to undertake therapy. She accused John of coercive control. He refused comment when contacted by the paper. Through his PR agency, he described the person who sent the anonymous letter as 'a coward'.

In November 2022 7News reported that Emma had moved to Adelaide with two of her children to escape Setka. Since moving two months earlier, it was reported that she had moved home four times in an effort to evade him. Emma also made allegations that intervention orders had repeatedly been breached. She expressed concern about Setka's control of the Adelaide branch of the CFMMEU, claiming it would mean that he would spend more time in that city, and stated that she was seeking a no-contact order between Setka and her children.
