A controversial influencer trip involving a ‘rib contouring’ procedure has led to an unlikely war of words between two former Married at First Sight (MAFS) brides: Domenica Calarco and Bec Zacharia.
In an Instagram post for MAFS Funny, Bec spoke about delaying a divisive planned procedure she was set to do in Bali. “I walked in and I thought ‘I’m not ready yet’, I don’t know if I will be ready or if I’m going to get it done,” Bec admitted in the video.
The comments were mostly people praising Bec for taking her time and not rushing the decision. However, a fellow divisive MAFS bride has accused Bec of staging the whole trip as a PR stunt.
Domenica Calarco, a standout bride from the 2022 season of MAFS, took aim at Bec. “Ohh, I get it now,” the mum-of-one wrote. “Just another PR ploy to fix her public perception.”
Fans accuse Domenica of having ‘double standards’
Fans have called Dom out for ‘double standards’ over her criticism of Bec’s decisions, as she famously released t-shirts with the slogan ‘My body, my choice’ during her season of MAFS after Olivia Frazer shamed her for having an OnlyFans account.
“You cant have ‘my body, my choice, but…’, it’s either ‘my body, my choice’ or its ‘I don’t think we should be able to do what we wish to our bodies’. You can’t be in both camps. Love you usually Dom, but this one is a miss,” one person wrote on a MAFS Funny Facebook post.
Another fan argued that Dom’s comments were at odds with her own past stance on cosmetic procedures, referencing Instagram posts she shared while pregnant about being unable to get Botox.
“Interesting take coming from someone that was complaining she could have local anaesthetic for dental procedures but couldn’t have Botox while breast feeding and literally had a tantrum about it!” They wrote. “A number of times too and a number of insta stories, so it wasn’t a joking manner. Sad she has to interject about someone else’s choices in life.”
Bec responds to Domenica calling her rib surgery a ‘PR ploy’
Dom’s comment about her rib surgery being a ‘PR Ploy’ was seen by Bec, who spoke to Chattr about her reaction to Dom’s harsh words about her, claiming that their friendship has turned sour recently.
“Dominica has made a habit of commenting negatively on almost everything I do. The funny thing is, there was a time when we were actually friends and voice-noting each other regularly,” Bec said.
“Unfortunately, that seemed to change the moment it became more beneficial to publicly criticise me.”
In an Instagram post shared in March, Dom accused Bec of ‘copying’ her idea for making MAFS-slogan t-shirts.
Bec declared she has since ‘blocked’ Dom on social media. “I’ve blocked her because I don’t have room in my life for toxic people who seem determined to stay involved in my story and keep themselves relevant by way of me.”
Bec denies that her Bali procedure was a PR trick. “Delaying a medical procedure was a personal choice, not a PR strategy. Some people move on with their lives, whilst others seem determined to stay relevant by attaching themselves to someone else’s,” Bec said.
“I sincerely hope she gets to feel the validation she’s seeking by consistently inserting herself into my story.”
Dom has clapped back at Bec’s claims that the pair were once friends, saying that she told Bec she wasn’t a fan of her.
“We weren’t friends. We sent a few voice notes over TikTok. I also told her straight to her face I didn’t ike her, we bitched about Danny. There’s your story,” Dom wrote in the Chattr comments section.
As it stands, Bec is potentially still going ahead with the divisive procedure in Bali.
