Just when you thought MAFS’ screenshot scandal was over, new information has proven it to be even worse than first thought.
Unseen footage aired on the fifth episode of MAFS: After The Dinner Party, which you can stream now on Stan, revealed just how Gia masterminded the entire reveal of rude messages rival Bec had shared about Alissa and David.
Footage from moments before the Commitment Ceremony, where Juliette exposed the content of the screenshots before storming out of the experiment, showed Gia in secret conversations between Juliette, Bec and Chris.
Through the four conversations, all within the space of 20 minutes, her “puppeteering” of the drama becomes clearer and clearer.
In one clip, Gia encourages Juliette to expose the screenshots to deflect from her own bad language, and coaches her on how to approach it.
In further clips, Gia then warns Bec of what is to come, before again going to Juliette to tell her that “somebody from production” gave Bec a heads up.
“She is the one who is in the middle of it all and trying to manipulate everyone around her,” Alissa reacted.
Finally, the last clip shows Gia warning groom Chris not to back-up Juliette when it all comes out on the couch.
“It’s a losing battle … we need to be careful,” she tells him.
Watching on, Alissa and David, as well as Juliette’s ex-husband Joel, were astonished.
“We all knew she was bad,” Alissa said.
“I just didn’t know it was to that extent, fully going to one person and telling a lie and then the other person, she doesn’t stop,” David agreed.
David believed Gia wanted to avoid “any heat” from the experts and group, so she used Juliette as a pawn.
“She is playing them like a fiddle. For her this is an absolute walk in the park,” Joel said.
