The Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 Dinner Party was an absolute mess last night, with Jamie Marinos unleashing on both Carina Mirable and Rhi Disljenkovic.
Somehow, even though Lauren Hall started all the drama at the Couples Retreat, she was off having a lovely and peaceful dinner with her husband Clint Rice while the other brides went for the jugular.
At this stage, it seems like Carina and Jamie’s friendship is over. Jamie told Carina to shut her mouth, and Carina ended up walking out of the Dinner Party before crying.
Carina has now shared her side of the story on the Married At First Sight Official Podcast, telling Shelly Horton she was “shocked” when Jamie verbally attacked her.
“I’m not good at confrontation. When she was coming at me, which I never thought throughout the whole duration of that experiment, Jamie and I would be butting heads, and I was just a bit shocked by it and a little bit like, felt confused to a degree,” Carina said.
“I was like, I have been there for you; you have been there for me the whole experiment, we’ve given each other good advice; why do you feel like I’m not backing you? I might not say it, but I’m still there.”
@shellyhorton4 There was no retreating from that @Married At First Sight retreat. Jaime’s fierce loyalty is truly admirable. But does her firey nature go too far? It was tough to see Carina, who is the peacemaker under attack. Jaime’s stance is clear: if you aren’t defending her, you’re dead to her. But shouldn’t that anger be directed solely at Lauren who started it all? How important is loyalty in friendships for you? Should friends always defend each other, or is there room for peacekeeping?

Carina added that she wanted to be the “peacemaker” in the situation because she was friends with both Jamie and Lauren.
“I want us all to understand each other’s point of views, and just help each other out in the relationship, because essentially that’s what the whole experiment is about,” Carina said.
The bride admitted that Jamie “didn’t take it that way” and expected more support from her.
“And looking back, I understand that, and I understand that if the roles were reversed, I would want her to help me in so many ways,” she explained.
Are Carina and Lauren still friends after MAFS?
Carina told Shelly that she was taken aback after she watched the episode and saw all the insults Lauren hurled at the brides.
“I had no idea half of that stuff was going on. So yes, have I changed my view about Lauren? I haven’t spoken to her since we finished filming,” Carina revealed.
“I got along with her [at the time]. Do I condone the words that she said? Absolutely not, volatile, nasty words and I don’t stand by it.”
Carina added that Lauren and Clint’s decision to skip the dinner party makes them seem “weak”.
“It shows a lack of respect for everyone around them, it shows what they value and who they value and that’s a very big thing for anyone,” she declared.
“It also made me feel that they are weak to a certain degree, because why did they not face the music?”
This MAFS reunion is going to be very interesting!
