MAFS Australia’s Stephanie slams Tyson after shock exit
Speaking on Ella Ding’s podcast The Ella Era, Stephanie did not hold back as she reflected on her experience with Tyson.
She claimed he often criticised her, including making remarks about what she ate and leaving her constantly on edge.
“I think I was paired with him to challenge him,” she said.
Steph added: “I found a voice I didn’t know I had within me. I’m not a fiery person by nature but there are some times where I really could have lost my [bleep] with him.
“Half the time I didn’t know if I was fight or flight, I was clammy in the hands and constantly reactive and combative. I was on edge all the time.
“I was not paired with someone who allowed me to be my true, happy, fun self. It sucks.”
Stephanie also addressed the comments Tyson made about her eating habits.
“There was a few times he would comment on what I was eating,” she said.
“I like most girls struggle with body dysmorphia issues.
“I spoke to him about that and he shared that someone in his close circle struggled with bulimia and almost died.
“Yet he’s then out there making those kinds of comments.”
Why Tyson’s mum missed his MAFS Australia wedding
Stephanie also revealed that Tyson never even unpacked his bags during their two week marriage.
She went on to before share what she was told about his mum’s absence on their wedding day.
Recalling the moment, she said: “As soon as he opened his mouth, I was like, ‘Good God’.
“We made it through the vows but, by our little photo shoot, I had noticed his audience.
“Even Alissa [Fay] said it, as she was sat behind his family. She was like, ‘Where are all the women?’. I had two gay guys and four women in my party.
“I was like, ‘Where’s your mum?’ He made a couple of rogue comments about that. He commented on her being a bit self conscious about her weight.
“He then went into how he encourages her to go to the gym and how she doesn’t like it.
“I’m the same with my mum, but I wouldn’t go out calling my mum fat when I’ve got a microphone on me on Australian national television.”
Stephanie has since moved on from the relationship following their turbulent time on the show and has a new boyfriend.
