MAFS’ Alissa exposes Gia’s toxic behaviour

Married At First Sight bride Alissa Fay has lifted the lid on her toxic feud with Gia Fleur – accusing her of playing both sides in a brutal ‘Top Dog’ power struggle with Bec Zacharia while secretly using her as a pawn.

Speaking to Daily Mail, Alissa, 33, revealed the shocking extent of the manipulation she claims unfolded behind the scenes – and insists viewers have only seen a fraction of what really went down.

‘It was just Gia… wanting to use someone to get through and hurt Bec [Zacharia] as usual. It’s the middle man bulls**t that continues throughout this whole season,’ she said.

Alissa claims she was unknowingly dragged into the feud as part of Gia’s wider agenda.

‘Yeah, she definitely wanted to get back at Bec. She wanted to be safe. I feel like it’s just this war that they ongoingly have with each other,’ she said.

The bride didn’t hold back when describing the dynamic between Gia and Bec, warning their ongoing battle for dominance had spiralled into something far more sinister.

‘Those girls will use anyone to fight against each other… if it’s not me, it’s someone else.’

And according to Alissa, what viewers saw on screen was just the beginning.

‘It was way worse. The manipulation and the lengths that Gia would go to… to try and just bring up past hurts and things to make herself look better. It’s just ridiculous.’

Alissa also took aim at the infamous screenshot scandal, suggesting it was far from spontaneous.

‘She threw Juliette under the bus. She set that all up,’ she said.

She went on to say the situation quickly spiralled, leaving her and husband David caught in the fallout.

‘It’s just relentless. It’s just one thing after the other,’ she added.

And the impact on her relationship was significant.

‘They were really hurtful… and you just can’t really come back from something like that.’

In a revealing admission, Alissa said she had actually begun rebuilding friendships with both Gia and Bec – unaware of what was allegedly happening behind her back.

‘I was letting those girls back into my life… I was starting to build a friendship with Gia. I had forgiven Bec and I was moving forward there,’ she said.

But she was left blindsided when the drama resurfaced.

‘Then to be caught up in it again, I was just thinking, why am I so forgiving? Why am I so stupid? I look like an idiot,’ she said.

Despite trying to stay out of the chaos, Alissa said she and David became constant targets.

‘David and I were in the firing line continuously, even though we were just trying to shut it down and move forward in our relationship,’ she said.

‘It’s just drama after drama after drama.’

Perhaps most tellingly, Alissa insists the reality viewers are seeing has been heavily watered down.

‘There are things missing, there are storylines missed… there’s so much drama and so much noise,’ she said.

‘There is so much context missing. There is so much cut out.’

And in a chilling final warning: ‘You haven’t seen sh*t… you have not seen how bad it really was.’

Her explosive claims come as unseen footage aired during Wednesday’s episode of Stan’s MAFS After the Dinner Party appears to support her version of events.

The episode also featured multiple unseen audio clips allegedly capturing Gia orchestrating the situation behind the scenes.

In one recording, she is heard convincing a distressed Juliette to reveal the screenshots, while in another she warns Bec the situation is about to unfold.

The most damning moment comes when Gia appears to change strategy mid-way through, telling another participant they need to ‘be careful’ because it’s a ‘losing battle’.

Despite apologies from Bec, Alissa and David have made it clear the damage is done.

‘No, there is a lot of repetitive behaviour from Bec… I don’t think you can come back from that.’

For Alissa, the experience has left a lasting mark – both on her friendships and her relationship.

‘I didn’t know that I was gonna be back in high school… I signed up for a husband and I got a lot of drama in my way,’ she said.

And as the season hurtles towards its explosive finale, one thing is clear – the so-called ‘Top Dog’ war is far from over.

Married At First Sight continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Nine.
