A woman who was wrongly arrested for allegedly creating an Instagram account that leaked voice notes from TOWIE star Ferne McCann has hit out at the reality star after being told police will take no further action.
Police confirmed in March that they had interviewed a woman under caution over a series of incriminating audio posts from Ferne McCann.
The former TOWIE star, 33, was forced to issue a grovelling apology over a number of shocking voice notes were posted on social media in which she appeared to make cruel comments about her co-star Sam Faiers, allegedly calling her a “narcissistic b***h” and a “fat c**t”.
Ferne was also heard labelling one of her ex Arthur Collins' acid attack victims as a 'silly b****'.
After the voice notes went viral, Annie Bullah - who is the fiancée of Ferne's imprisoned ex-Arthur Collins - was quizzed by Met police on the leak and faced a potential two years in prison for harassment and malicious communication if she was found guilty.

Annie Bullah has accused Ferne McCann of 'ruining her life' after she was 'falsely accused' of leaking private voice notes from the TOWIE star (Instagram)After a year long ordeal, Bullah has now been told by police they will take no further action.
In a new interview, 35-year-old Bullah vented her fury at being wrongly blamed and went so far as to insist that McCann has ‘ruined her life.'
Bullah - who is engaged to McCann’s ex Collins, currently in prison after being found guilty of a 2017 acid attack - spoke to MailOnline about the mental toll of her arrest. Bullah said she found her arrest ‘very distressing’ and spoke of her anger over the fact McCann continued to make a number of lucrative TV appearances while she suffered.
Ferne sobbed on This Morning as she spoke about the voice notes (ITV)'[McCann] has a platform where she can speak to millions of people and she needed to use it to say she's human and I said some horrible things but instead all she thinks about is money and showbiz and I was put in the dirt when she should have taken accountability,’ said Bullah.
'Ferne got to keep her TV show and she just came back whereas I emailed the police daily telling them I was depressed but all they said to me was to go to A&E if I felt low. I struggled for a year. Arthur and his family supported me through it, but it was a dreadful time... she ruined my life.'
After the voice notes came to light, McCann appeared on This Morning in March to apologise for any hurt she’d caused, telling Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: ‘It wasn't my finest hour and it definitely was a very difficult time in my life when those voice notes were leaked. I need to take this opportunity to publicly apologise again to those affected.’
While McCann was on This Morning, a clip from her show Ferne McCann: My Family And Me was shown in which she discussed the clips, prompting her to continue: "I do need to take this opportunity to publicly apologise again to those affected. Obviously the words that I used were unpleasant and I have reached out privately to those people.”
At the time McCann says she made the comments, her then-boyfriend Collins had just been sent to prison ahead of the former couple welcoming their first child.
They share daughter Sunday, while McCann is also a doting mum to baby Finty who she welcomed in July with her fiance Lorri Haines.
Mirror Online has approached Essex Police and McCann’s reps for comment.
