Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 bride Alissa Fay has slammed Brook Crompton’s apology following the explosive Dinner Party fallout, saying she can’t “blame producers and alcohol” for her behaviour.
The confrontation comes after the dramatic second Commitment Ceremony, during which the relationship experts called Brook out for her actions at the Dinner Party, prompting her to storm off and exit the experiment.
Prior to her exit, Brook apologised to Stella and Alissa during the televised Commitment Ceremony, and later shared a social media post following the Dinner Party, offering another apology to both brides. However, Brook also told Woman’s Day that producers were “egging” her on to make drama at the Dinner Party, and said she drank “two bottles of champagne” before going in.
In an interview with Chattr, Alissa said that she doesn’t agree with Brook’s explanation and said she needs to learn from the mistakes she’s made.
“Honey, you had a choice. You can’t blame producers and alcohol for your actions. Like that is a choice. We have a choice to show up every day. And the more that you say that [it was the producer’s influence], the worse it looks. You just gotta just take it on and then move forward.”
Alissa went on to say she wasn’t sure whether Brook — and Gia, who also hurled insults at her during the Dinner Party — were sincere in their apologies.
“I think it was a [case of] everybody else is doing it, so I better, and it wasn’t real and authentic, because if you watch back, you will see Brooke and Gia are looking at each other and smirking while I’m talking, which is pretty disgusting,” she said.

Alissa is empathetic towards the backlash Gia and Brook have received
Alissa added that she’s received multiple private apologies from Brook, but can’t see them ever making amends.
“With Brooke, I received an email apology about two days ago, and obviously, I received an apology five weeks after the dinner party as well. I have accepted what it is, and I’ve moved forward, but, those girls are dead to me. They are not my people, and that is okay, but I’m I wish them all the best, and you know, I just hope that they’ve learned something from this and that they can be better.
Alissa added that while she isn’t on good terms with Brook and Gia, she still has empathy for what they’re going through.
“I think she’s feeling very embarrassed and remorseful, I really do. But yeah, it is a little bit too late for it
“I just hope that they’re moving forward and can really take a deep look at themselves and just show up as better people. Because, wow, the response to all of this has been just hectic, and it’s been heavy, and I couldn’t imagine what they’re going through right now as well.”
