‘Married At First Sight’s’ Martha Reveals The Real Reason Her Parents Are Supporting Her

After the bride controversially stated she wasn't working

At Married At First Sight’s Sunday night reunion dinner party, bride Martha Kalifatidis made controversial comments about her current living situation that has angered fans. 

The freelance make-up artist sparked outrage on the Channel Nine social experiment when she poured a glass of wine over co-star Cyrell’s head during the explosive final dinner party. However, it was also Martha’s comments about how she’s living that angered fans more.

“I don’t know how I keep still getting money,” fellow controversial bride Jessika told Martha.

Martha responded: “Me either, somehow it manages to just find its way into my account.”

Joking about her financial status, Jessika added: “Yeah, my dad is like, ‘Do you need five grand?’ and I’m like, ‘Yes, daddy’.” 

Speaking to Kyle & Jackie O on Monday morning, Martha attempted to justify her statement. 

“That reunion was filmed literally during the Christmas break and I didn’t go back to work,” she said. “I do work and I don’t rely on my parents.”

The controversial contestant told the KIIS FM hosts she was too scared to go back to work as a freelance make-up artist.

“I don’t want to be just turning up to people’s houses,” she said. “I don’t feel safe at the moment, I really don’t. I don’t know who I can trust.

“I did ask to go back to my old job, which was at a retailer, but it was too much of a liability for them.”

For now, Martha has returned to her parents home in Melbourne.
