Married At First Sight‘s Martha Kalifatidis has denied cheating on boyfriend Michael Brunelli, after the couple’ former co-stars made extraordinary claims on Monday.
After Martha slammed Jessika Power and Ines Basic in an Instagram Live video, the two women united and unleashed on her in their own scathing posts.
They claimed that Martha cheated on Michael at the start of their relationship, and wanted to leave him for a richer man who could ‘take her shopping at Gucci’.
Martha denied all these claims to Daily Mail Australia, refusing to comment further.

The spat started on Monday when Martha was asked about her thoughts on Ines and Jessika after they famously fell out in early 2019 once their season aired.
‘Would I talk to Jess and Ines again? I would rather have root canal surgery from now until the end of time than ever speak to them again,’ laughed Martha.
‘Honestly, I wish them well, I do. I hope that they’re successful in their lives and they’re happy – but they’re just not for me, they’re not my people.’

‘Keep your mouth shut’: Offended by Martha’s remarks, Ines (right) was the first to publicly respond with this post (left), claiming that her former friend cheated on Michael in her house
Offended by Martha’s remarks, Ines was the first to publicly respond.
Ines wrote: ‘Oi b***h. Keep your mouth shut or I’ll sure sure your g**p boyfriend knows you f**ked someone in my house and cheated on him. Good luck with your facts you pig looking b***h.’
In her own post, Jessika claimed Martha was ‘sleeping with her ex-boyfriend’ over Christmas in 2018, which was after she left the show with Michael, and weeks before the cast then reunited in Sydney to film their reunion episode in January 2019.

Jessika continued: ‘Or the fact that during the experiment you would show me messages and crap about how you were considering leaving Michael, so you could be with an Arab sheikh?
‘Because, and I quote, ‘Who cares doll he wants to take me shopping at Gucci and YSL and that’s my lifestyle, you know? Michael is a school teacher! What could he ever offer me?’ Please note [Martha] said this towards the end of the experiment.
‘And the fact that you were romantically involved with a cast member at the start of last year and denied it. You’re as fake as it comes. Constantly talking down about people, even your fans! I’m over it and I’m sure everybody else is.’
Jessika claimed that she would have preferred to keep all of this private, but felt compelled to speak out following Martha’s remarks on Instagram.
Martha strenuously denies all of Ines and Jessika’s claims about her.
‘I’ve never felt so f**king mad’: On Tuesday morning, Ines reflected on the spat and once again slammed Martha
History: Jessika, Ines and Martha became close friends filming MAFS in late 2018
On Tuesday morning, Ines reflected on the spat and once again slammed Martha.
Ines said: ‘I reckon I slept about five hours because I’ve never felt so f**king mad. I’ve had heaps of messages, it’s actually so funny how many people don’t like a certain individual – and I can understand why.
‘For about a year and a half, she has been dropping low blow, degrading and vulgar comments towards me. For whatever reason, she’s decided to throw Jess into it as well. I don’t understand, Jess had never even had a problem with her.
‘I think it’s disgusting, you don’t speak about someone that way. It’s weak as p**s. If you are a strong woman, you do not go around dropping this foul f**king comments – so it was about time I ended up erupting. I don’t stand for that s**t.’
The end: Martha then fell out with Jessika and Ines as the show aired on TV in early 2019
