Married at First Sight star Olivia Frazer has spoken out about her former feud with fellow contestant Domenica Calarco.
Taking to Instagram, Olivia responded to a fan question asking whether she had put their past “beef’ behind them.
“I have and have been open to mediation and/or any other means of reconciliation. I’ve moved on,” Olivia wrote, adding, “But I can only speak for myself here.”
The latest update on the reality TV feud comes almost one year after Domenica received backlash for criticising Olivia’s February MAXIM cover headline, with the star commenting, “Sex scandals and social media…I’m sure [Olivia] knows a lot about it.”
Olivia also spoke out about her relationship with controversial MAFS groom Harrison Boon, writing, “I gave him a chance and he burned me like he does everyone else.”
The reality star also gave a shoutout to Harrison’s ex-‘wife’ Bronte Schofield, adding that she “is and has always been my girl and is one of the toughest cookies I know.”
Speaking to Woman’s Day in August 2022, Domenica responded to Olivia’s claims that Domenica received special treatment from production with her social media accounts.
“There’s no such thing as favouritism. Every single person there still had their passwords … We were able to have our social media while [MAFS] was on,” Domenica shared.
“The only time that we handed over our social media was when the show aired and when they were posting on our behalf. I don’t know what she’s talking about. I don’t know if they specifically took hers away.”
In case you missed it, Olivia claimed early in August 2022 that she’d had her social media accounts “shut down” during the filming of the show’s latest season, while Domenica didn’t.
“I had an issue with Dom being given special treatment by production, like (among other things) being allowed to keep her social media accounts public and active during filming,” Olivia wrote on an Instagram story.
“(Which I showed producers and my cast mates, hence the whole ‘photo scandal’) when the other 21 of us had to shut down our accounts or give our passwords to production.”
While Domenica shut down the claims at the time alongside her best friend and fellow cast member, Ella Ding, she also shared her thoughts on the saga with Woman’s Day.
“I got in trouble multiple times if I did things wrong. Like say for instance, I would go to Ella’s room when we weren’t allowed, or I got reprimanded because me and Ella were talking on the phone, and we weren’t allowed to be doing that,” Dom revealed of the filming process.
“There was no such thing as a favourable edit. I didn’t get any treatment. No one did. There was no such thing as preferable treatment.”
She also claimed that Olivia and her on-screen ‘husband’, Jackson Lonie, left the filming set for a day, enraging producers.
“They have access to you 24/7 if they want to film you, even on weekends … but I remember they literally took off and just drove. They hired a car and drove off.”
“So, if she thinks that she didn’t get a favourable edit, all the producers were kind of against her, then she was doing things against producers as well,” Dom added.
“If you play by their rules and you do what they say, it’s easier because you’re not going to get in trouble. If you go against them and do things that they say don’t do, then obviously it’s going to be harder for you,” she shared.
Dom and Olivia had a well-documented feud on the show, which began with Dom smashing a glass when she became angry with Olivia over comments that she was “too loud” and her “voice was annoying”.
Things escalated when Olivia allegedly shared a photo of Domenica with the rest of the brides and grooms which was originally intended to promote her OnlyFans account.
The feud has dragged on in the months since, but Domenica claims she’s trying to move forward.
“I’m just trying to move on with my life, but she keeps bringing it up all the time,” Domenica says.
“I would just like it to be over, you know, it is what it is. And I knew what I was getting myself into by going on reality TV.”
WHO and Woman’s Day previously reached out to Olivia and the Nine for comment.
