Dan Bilzerian slams Aussie 'Candyman' for walking wife on leash

You know you’ve reached a low point when Dan Bilzerian gives you marriage advice.

The ‘King of Instagram’ has slammed Australian tobacco tycoon Travers Beynon after photos emerged of him walking his wife on a leash around their $3.7 million Gold Coast mansion.

The self-titled Candyman is known for posting scandalous images on Instagram, usually from one of his lavish house parties or of his extensive car collection.

But Bilzerian, who made headlines around the world for throwing a naked porn star off a roof, says Beynon's latest snaps go too far.

“I don't think you should have a wife and children living in a house with naked girls and partying,” Bilzerian said in a statement to the Daily Mail.

“I also am respectful to women who treat me respectfully, and would never put my wife on a leash in the driveway for an Instagram pic."

Bilzerian, who has nine million followers on Instagram, says Beynon should put his four children first.

“If you make the decision to get married and have children, then you have an obligation to raise them in an environment that isn't going to ruin them, warp their perception of the world, or close doors for them.”

Beynon has taken to social media to defend himself, telling anyone who has been bullied to “stay strong and keep moving forward.”

The former AFL player posted a photo on Instagram on Tuesday to try and show people he is a good husband and father.

“There is one thing I cherish more than throwing the biggest and best parties... and that is my KIDS AND FAMILY,” it read.

“Our mornings are like everybody else. I am their PROTECTOR & PROVIDER. #wearesafewithourdad #rolemodel.”
