The estranged wife of the Today host has received a lot of attention in recent months, following the announcement she had separated from her husband of 21 years last September. Now, the mother-of-three has become the victim of a targeted attack – on her home turf. New Idea has exclusively obtained photos of a car owned by the Stefanovic family, parked outside Cassandra’s home, with the rear window vandalised.
