Abbie Chatfield slams 'disgusting' MAFS cast over nude photo scandal
Reality TV queen Abbie Chatfield has weighed in on this week’s explosive Married At First Sight scandal, which saw Olivia Frazer admit to sharing a nude photo of Domenica Calarco from her private OnlyFans account amongst the cast.
The former Bachelor star, who prefaced her outrage by saying she hadn’t watched a single episode from season nine besides the most recent dinner party, labelled the cast as “pathetic and spineless” on her national radio show Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield on Thursday night after they failed to stick up for Domenica.
“Sorry, you're all disgusting, except for Ella [Ding] and Domenica and Jack [Millar],” she said. “All of you are embarrassing, you should be embarrassed. I am disgusted by your lack of behaviour. They didn't do anything, they didn't defend Domenica, they didn't apologise.”
Abbie was particularly outraged with the participants who not only decided to wait until the dinner party to tell Domenica about the NSFW photo, but also chose to shame her for having an OnlyFans account.

“All of these women think they are being feminists and think that saying, ‘We're not shaming you!’ absolves them because they know that their internalised misogyny and their slut-shaming ridiculousness is in fact anti-feminist, and they are shaming her,” she added.
“There is nothing wrong with having an OnlyFans account. There is nothing wrong with taking nudes for free, there is nothing wrong with being sexual in any way you want to be sexual, whether it is as an occupation or if it is to just send a nude around, like I do all the time.”
The I’m A Celebrity champion then turned her attention directly to Olivia, labelling her behaviour as “deplorable”.
“How come you didn't send around a photo of Domenica, I don't know, working at a juice bar? Did you find her LinkedIn and go, ‘Oh look, she was a personal assistant’. No, because you don't see shame in that,” she argued.
“You see shame in OnlyFans and you see shame in naked bodies and you see shame in sexuality and you are choosing this very manipulative and very disgusting way to try and subtly shame her because you think - and unfortunately, you were right - the whole group would turn against her after seeing this.
“And unfortunately, the pathetic, spineless people at this table all don't like Domenica and they want her to be a villain.”
‘She is scum’
Abbie’s fiery comments come shortly after Domenica spoke with Yahoo Lifestyle about the incident and revealed whether or not she plans on pressing charges against Olivia.
“Yes, I have gotten legal advice and I'm taking that advice and I’ll pursue that as necessary,” she told us.
“I think people seem to forget that we've actually had a really big overhaul of laws here in New South Wales in the last year, and yeah, that's all I can say.”
She also said she wants nothing to do with the 27-year-old teaching student outside of the show and she doesn’t believe any of her apologies.
“I could not give a s**t if she apologised to me, I do not need that from her,” she said. “She is scum. I do not need her around me, I do not need her energy and I do not have time for her at all.”
Married At First Sight airs at 7pm on Sunday and 7:30pm on Monday to Wednesday on Channel Nine and 9Now.
