MAFS' Dom & Ella cop more backlash after Jono, Ellie interview: 'Cancelling yourselves'

The former MAFS stars are under fire again days after the controversial Jack Dunkley interview.

After a week of controversy following their interview with MAFS groom Jack Dunkley, former Married At First Sight stars Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding are under fire again for their interview with Jono McCullough and Ellie Dix.

MAFS fans are less than impressed with the interview, with Jono sharing his side of the story as to what happened with ex Lauren Dunn, and Dom and Ella continuing to make some questionable remarks about Lauren less than a week after they said she had "pushed" Jack to breaking point when he unleashed his misogynistic "muzzle your woman" comment. (You can read about that here.)

The interview with Dom and Ella started with the girls saying they couldn't quite find words to "describe" Lauren, and things deteriorated from there. Jono talked about the "pact" he and Lauren had to stay on the show as well as the "cheating" storyline with Ellie. Jono said that Lauren knew he had been messaging Ellie because he had told her and that Tori had also given Lauren a heads up that she was going to bring up the messages, which led to Ella and Dom accusing Lauren of acting, with Dom saying she should go on "Home and Away or something".

Jono also stipulated that the pact he had with Lauren initially involved them going through with final vows and saying yes, and pretending they were still together after, with him and Tim Calwell supporting each other through dating "really strong, slightly aggressive" women and "trying to make it through".

Dom then said she assumed Lauren and Sara would look at the interviews coming out about them from Jono and Tim's side of events, and said they looked "stupid as hell".

Different versions of what really transpired between Jono and Lauren aside (let's be real, we may never know the full truth), people weren't happy with Dom and Ella picking sides during interviews and slamming Lauren, while giving people like Jack Dunkley a platform to explain his edit.

"Why is every interview with the cast putting Lauren down? What happened to girls supporting girls? You say you don’t want to judge and you don’t take what you see from the show for real, example Jack & Tori! But with Lauren you are ripping her a new one?" one person commented.

"Can we stop bashing Lauren? It’s enough," another said. "Can’t wait for more air time of a man bashing a woman down! Yasss slay the house down, queens," someone else said.

"I’m really surprised you guys would release this after your last episode with Jack and Tori. I hope Lauren is okay," someone else commented.

"Not us witnessing the downfall of this podcast. Literally cancelling yourselves," someone else commented.

"I think you should give Sara and Lauren a chance to speak," another person pointed out. "I’m tapping out of this. Really disappointed as I liked you both on MAFS, but these last 2 interviews ain’t it," another disgruntled fan said.

"I don’t understand why they don’t read these comments.. like some of us were huge fans of them. So disappointing that they can’t even apologise to all the fans they’ve lost," someone else said.

In a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle, Lauren's rep said: "Lauren was busy at Fashion Week with Shark Beauty, living her best life and is not concerned nor interested in Dom and Ella’s podcast with Jono and Ellie."
