Married At First Sight bride Alissa Fay has revealed details of a heated feud with Gia Fleur, accusing her of manipulation in an ongoing ‘Top Dog’ battle with Bec Zacharia. Alissa, 33, claims producers edited out much of the behind-the-scenes drama, leaving viewers with only a partial picture.
Gia’s Alleged Tactics in the Feud
Alissa describes Gia as using others to target Bec while positioning herself safely. “It was just Gia wanting to use someone to get through and hurt Bec as usual. It’s the middle man nonsense that continues throughout this whole season,” Alissa stated.
She portrays the rivalry between Gia and Bec as escalating into a broader conflict where participants become collateral. “Those girls will use anyone to fight against each other… if it’s not me, it’s someone else,” she added. Alissa insists the on-screen events represent just the tip of the iceberg, with Gia’s efforts to dredge up past issues far more intense than shown.
Screenshot Scandal and Fallout
Alissa points to the screenshot incident as premeditated, claiming Gia implicated Juliette to advance her agenda. The situation quickly intensified, drawing Alissa and her husband David into the crossfire. “It’s just relentless. It’s just one thing after the other,” she said.
The drama strained her marriage significantly. “They were really hurtful… and you just can’t really come back from something like that,” Alissa reflected.
Rebuilding Friendships Derails
Despite efforts to move forward, Alissa had started mending ties with both Gia and Bec. “I was letting those girls back into my life… I was starting to build a friendship with Gia. I had forgiven Bec and was moving forward there,” she shared.
However, renewed conflict left her feeling betrayed. “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.” Even as they tried to focus on their relationship, Alissa and David faced constant targeting. “David and I were in the firing line continuously, even though we were just trying to shut it down and move forward,” she noted.
Unseen Footage Supports Claims
Unseen clips from Wednesday’s MAFS After the Dinner Party on Stan appear to corroborate Alissa’s account. Audio captures Gia urging a distressed Juliette to share screenshots and warning Bec of impending developments. In another segment, Gia shifts tactics, advising caution as the conflict turns into a “losing battle.”
Alissa warns that significant context remains absent. “There are things missing, there are storylines missed… there’s so much drama and so much noise. There is so much context missing. There is so much cut out.” She concludes starkly: “You haven’t seen anything… you have not seen how bad it really was.”
Bec’s apologies have not repaired the rift for Alissa and David. “No, there is a lot of repetitive behaviour from Bec… I don’t think you can come back from that.” The season’s ‘Top Dog’ war shows no signs of ending as Married At First Sight continues Sundays at 7pm on Channel Nine.
