EXCLUSIVE: Gia has taken responsibility for her fair share of mistakes after her and Scott’s explosive MAFSFinal Dinner Party break-up.
“The experiment brought up things I probably haven’t worked on. I do have pretty bad anxious attachment and abandonment issues,” Gia told nine.com.au.
After cooking up a plan with the help of co-star Bec, Gia tried to win Scott and his trust back at the Final Dinner Party.
After reading her speech “basically saying ‘let’s give it one more shot'”, Gia was hopeful Scott would want to try again.
Scott read out a letter of his own, saying him and Gia were “of different calibre” and calling it quits for good. He left his wedding ring on the table and stormed out for good.
Gia didn’t anticipate such a strong reaction from Scott.
“When he stormed out I just thought, did the last three months mean nothing to you that you can just storm out so quickly and give it nothing?” she said.
“Three weeks before that at the Dinner Party he was calling me his soul mate. It was very confusing for me and really sad.”
Gia owned up to her series of missteps throughout the experiment.
“I feel like I pushed him away a lot, I pressured him because I was in love with Scott but he wasn’t in love with me yet,” she said.
“I was pressuring him too much and ultimately I was pushing him away.”
For Scott, his dramatic exit was a build up of all the things he’d stayed quiet about for son long.
“The whole experiment, I never had a voice. I thought it was my only time to speak up and not let anyone shut me down,” he told nine.com.au.
Scott said he walked out because he knew if he stayed Gia would just have made an excuse for her behaviour.
Despite all the conflict between Gia and Scott, both of them wished each other well.
Scott said he has “nothing but respect for Gia” and wishes her “all the best”.
Despite moving on with a new partner, Alan Wallace, Gia still has “so much love for Scott”.
“I do think he’s a great guy. I think it was just the wrong time for us and the experiment wasn’t good for me personally.”
