MAFS’ Bec Fired After Explosive Dinner Party Controversy
Filmogaz.com can reveal that Married At First Sight bride Bec Zacaria has lost her sales role in Adelaide. She was 35 when the employer dismissed her soon after a controversial episode aired.
MAFS’ Bec has been fired amid the explosive dinner party controversy that followed the third episode. The decision came after strong viewer backlash and a workplace meeting the next morning.
Timeline at her workplace
Bec had been a few weeks into a new sales role at a manufacturing firm. The company first asked her to delay public appearances until the show finished airing.
She refused because she needed income to cover rent and mortgage payments. Management then allowed her to stay under the condition she avoid publicity for the program.
What changed after the third dinner party
The third dinner party episode showed Bec interfering in multiple couples’ relationships. Viewers reacted negatively and experts reprimanded her at a later commitment ceremony.
The morning after the episode aired, her employer called her back for a meeting. They informed her they could no longer keep her employed due to the fallout from the show.
Her response and current situation
Bec accepted that her behaviour was poor but said she had warned the company about potential events before airing. She was still on probation when she was let go.
She is now seeking new work but is reportedly struggling to find employment because of her television portrayal.
