Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Jessika Power targeted with death threats daily – as her concerned family ‘live in fear’
Married At First Sight’s Jessika Power is currently being branded as one of ‘Australia’s most hated women’ following her ‘affair’ with Dan Webb.
And in the past week, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that the level of hate against Jessika, 27, has escalated from abusive comments to explicit death threats.
With the violent messages mounting, Jessika’s aunt Bec has admitted the family are now living in fear of a physical attack.
Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Jessika Power is being targeted with death threats daily – as her concerned family ‘live in fear’
‘I know [the trolls] are mostly just keyboard warriors but they are just so hateful,’ Bec said during an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia.
‘Jess is waking up every day to people telling her to kill herself and that she needs to die. I’m copping threats too from local people, and so are the rest of the family.
‘I am concerned, as her auntie, that someone really will hurt her. She was on the train yesterday and I felt sick. I have to work and can’t be with her every day.
‘I’m worried that people are going to act upon what they say.’

Jessika’s aunt Bec then detailed a recent incident in a shopping centre between the reality star and a male viewer.
Bec claims that the beauty was politely approached by the male, who was posing as a fan, for a picture – with the male then slating Jessika online after she’d obliged.
‘She did the selfie with him and minutes later he put it on Instagram, tagged her and wrote, “I guess they let dogs in here now”‘, explained Bec.
‘That man approached her so nicely at first and that’s what scares me.’

Controversial: Jessika’s ‘affair’ with Dan Webb prompted the growing backlash
In a desperate plea to end the threats, Bec concluded: ‘We’re not trying to elicit sympathy. Jess went on the show and knew what she was getting herself in for.
‘Well, she pretty much knew, but not to this level, obviously. Threatening people and violence is absolutely disgusting.
‘All of these people are saying that Jess has no morals, but if she ever spoke like some of these people are then I would be appalled.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Nine for comment.
