Married At First Sight’s most controversial bride, Ines Basic, has broken her silence amid reports she’s been “living like a recluse” and has “lost 12kg” as backlash heats up around her cheating scandal.
Viewers were left shocked last night when Ines and Sam Ball — who are “married” to Bronson Norrish and Elizabeth Sobinoff respectively on the show — appeared to end up in bed together after sharing a secret date at a nearby bar.
But 28-year-old legal assistant Ines has attempted to justify her behaviour, describing her connection with Sam as “emotionally charged”.
“Everything with Sam and I was done at such a high-paced, emotionally-charged level,” she told 9Honey.
“We connected on a very different level. Like we didn’t really need to speak. We could just feel each other’s emotions. He said it was a very spiritual connection, a very mental connection. As if we could read each other’s thoughts and finish each other’s sentences.”
It may have been a trick of clever editing, but their date certainly didn’t seem that passionate on screen — a decent chunk of their time was spent discussing olives.
While Ines insisted there was much more of a connection than what was shown, she conceded the banter wasn’t great.
“We did a really nice dinner on the Gold Coast. We had the top floor, and it was a beautiful setting,” she said.
“During the time we were at that dinner, that really nice rooftop space, everything we were talking about was very like a substance, materialistic level. And I genuinely wanted to get to know him, like his soul.
“I was sort of expecting a more deeper conversation. I don’t know if it was because the cameras were around he didn’t want to be too vulnerable because off-camera he did open up a lot more when I spent the night with him.”
It comes amid reports Ines is struggling to cope with being the target of so much online hate.
A source reportedly told Woman’s Day the already-slim contestant has “lost about 12kg since filming finished” four months ago, and “everyone’s really worried about her”.
Ines first sparked rage among viewers with her frequent brutal verbal lashings of “husband” Bronson, including one incident where she repeatedly screamed at him to “shut the f**k up”.
But the real scandal emerged last week when she began her pursuit of fellow contestant Sam behind Bronson’s back.
The backlash has been so severe Nine has disabled comments on any post relating to Ines on MAFS’ official Instagram page, and the 28-year-old legal assistant has been protected from participating in any of the usual media rounds.
An Endemol Shine Australia spokesman told news.com.au: “There is a dedicated show psychologist and support team available to every participant throughout the entire production, broadcast and beyond.”
Despite Ines keeping a low profile in public she has continued to share Instagram photos on her personal account about MAFS but has been deleting and limiting comments.
It’s understood contestants are contractually obligated to post about the reality show while it airs.
Meanwhile, while their romance may be heating up on screen, Sam had nothing nice to say about Ines when grilled about her in a new interview with TV Week.
The 26-year-old tradie even said he regretted responding when she first reached out to him.
“If I had my time again, I probably would have never opened her message,” he told the magazine, describing her as “manipulative and smart”.
In a separate interview with NW, Sam claimed she may have been planted on the show deliberately.
“Ines is obviously there to cause drama,” he said. “She’s a key player in that.”
Married At First Sight continues tonight at 7.30pm on Nine.
