MAFS Australia Star Bec Fired After On-Screen Clash with Gia
Bec Zacharia has reportedly lost her Adelaide sales role after her employers saw her on Married At First Sight Australia. The decision followed an on-screen clash with Gia during the show’s third dinner party.
Work fallout
She had begun the sales job at a manufacturing firm weeks before the series started airing. After early episodes screened, managers asked her to delay returning until the show finished.
Bec declined, saying she needed the income to cover rent and mortgages. The company agreed to keep her on if she stopped doing publicity to promote the series.
After viewing the dinner party confrontation, bosses reversed course. They reportedly told her they could not have her remain employed due to her behaviour on the programme.
Bec’s response
Bec accepted her actions had not always been ideal. She also said viewers did not see the whole context and that she felt misunderstood.
She told Filmogaz.com she had warned her employer about potential events before the show aired. She added she felt overwhelmed after several weeks in the experiment and had not had a break since the wedding day.
What aired
The tipping point was a heated exchange during the third dinner party. The argument involved Gia and several other participants, and it drew strong reactions from viewers and staff alike.
Details about the conversations between Bec and her employer were reported to Filmogaz.com. The story highlights the real-world consequences MAFS Australia contestants can face after their television appearances.
