Salim Mehajer's estranged wife doesn't want to be in the same room as him when she gives evidence at a hearing over his alleged breach of an apprehended violence order.

The controversial businessman unsuccessfully opposed an application by prosecutors on Monday for Aysha Learmonth to give evidence via video link, with his lawyer saying she was being "nothing more than a drama queen".

"My client's view is this is nothing more than the alleged victim grandstanding and trying to demonstrate her self-importance," Geoffrey Foster told Burwood Local Court.

But magistrate Jacqueline Trad ultimately granted the application, saying Ms Learmonth had given physical and mental reasons by way of a supporting document from a medical practitioner for not wanting to come to court.
