WATCH: MAFS’ Ivan threatened to bash Michael with a pool cue

Sydney real estate agent Ivan took to Instagram on Thursday to lament his relationship, writing under a picture of him and Aleks: “Don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.” 

One fan wrote: “What a shame! You two seemed perfect together.”

Ivan’s sorry post comes after it was revealed that he was pushed to his limits during the boys’ night by Michael Goonan.

Speaking about the brutal altercation with the entrepreneur, Ivan— who once called the producers a “pack of c**ts” during a meltdown — said the gloves came off when Michael spoke badly about his TV wife, Aleks Markovic, admitting he was so enraged, he was ready to fight him! 

“One thing they didn’t show is that [the other grooms] actually pushed me a little too hard, and I suggested we go outside and sort it out as men,” he told Hit Mid North Coast’s Krysti & Bodge. “Stop hiding behind the cameras sort of thing, let’s go take it outside. But you obviously didn’t see that part.”
The quirky reality star— who was recently forced out of his job due to his appearance on MAFS— said he started arching up after being interrogated by the other grooms for “a good 40 minutes”. They were badgering him about whether he slept with his bride, why he threw Josh under the bus and whether he really did show his co-stars that raunchy video of Aleks. 

“I said what I had to say, and that didn’t stop Michael. My response was, ‘Keep going, buddy. Don’t let my exterior fool you. Let’s have a scrub out the front,'” the still enraged star said.

When asked whether he was actually serious about potentially hurting Michael, Ivan didn’t think twice before saying: “I was ready to go! I told him I was going to put a pool cue over his head,” he bragged.

Michael and Ivan’s feud has only escalated since that mysterious event, with the Adelaide dad claiming Ivan really did show  “provocative” and “sexual” videos and photos of his wife to their co-stars. 

“I saw them. They were having a bit of fun in his car and there was one in there,” Michael said, leaving both Jackie and Kyle understandably lost for words. “She was being a bit of a naughty little girl and Ivan decided it was a Kodak moment.” 

Although he wasn’t sure who else had seen the racy content, Michael revealed Ivan didn’t hesitate to show him proof that they were getting it on when the cameras weren’t rolling. And when his wife Stacey Hampton asked to see what they were looking at while sitting on the couch, Ivan quickly passed his phone to her.

“I think when faced with hard truths, some people will either fight or flee. I hadn’t even gotten started. What was coming was a full meal at the commitment ceremony and Aleks knew that and wasn’t ready to face it.”

Understandably, many take Michael’s confessions with a grain of salt, but what peacekeeper Mishel Karen think of the scandal? She’s siding with Michael, admitting Ivan and Aleks had sex— a huge bombshell seeing as they fled after the topic of intimacy arose. She also says Josh Pihlak saw the videos in question and would have no reason to conceal the truth.

“All I know, and I heard it through Josh, and Josh and I and Stacey and I are close, that Ivan did show the video to other people, a video of Aleks being provocative,” Mishel said on news.com.au’s Not Here To Make Friends podcast.

“I think that’s not cool to show that to them, but that’s hearsay, so I’m not sure if that’s true. But I actually believe Stacey and Josh,” she said, adding, “I wouldn’t doubt them. There’s no reason for them to lie,” she added.
