Married at First Sight Australia 2023‘s Tayla Winter has responded to allegations she hooked up with her mate Olivia Frazer‘s ex, Jackson Lonie.
ICYMI: Olivia recently told So Dramatic! that she had cut ties with her fellow MAFS alum after sources claimed Tayla and Jackson were intimate.
She later revealed that she’s since unfollowed Jackson on Instagram because he’s “banging new MAFS B-grade stars to try to stay relevant”.
Safe to say the tea is well and truly boiling and now, Tayla has taken to social media to give a “behind the scenes on the latest scoop”.
In screenshots of a recent message to Olivia posted on her Instagram Story, the 27-year-old apologised for her “delayed response”.
“Nothing has happened with Jackson and I. He was up on the Goldie with the guys the other weekend when I was up there but I have never hooked up with him, kissed him or anything,” she wrote.
“It takes a long while for me to build up trust with someone to get to that point.”
“I know these gossip mills are killer and I’m sorry this has obviously had an impact on you. They get to me a lot too and are so frustrating.”
Tayla Winter slams Olivia Frazer for calling her a ‘pick me girl’
In the lengthy message, Tayla criticised Olivia for calling her a “pick me girl”.
“You’ve jumped the gun with assumptions and referred to me as a ‘pick me girl’. I don’t need to be anyone but myself around the guys and that’s why I love hanging out with them so much,” she continued.
“They don’t crack on and there’s a lot of respect shown, always. We’ve all been through a lot with the aftermath of MAFS , and is it really bad that I’ve made some great friends, just because they’re blokes?
“I’ve had a lot of people ask about Jackson and I, we are friends. We get along really well.”
The Tasmanian-born TV bride then said if anything were to become romantic with Jackson or “anyone’s partner from MAFS“, she would “make sure the relevant people were okay with it first”.
“I like to keep my romantic life extremely private but if I felt like it could take a toll on that person with any media outlets creating drama, I would let them know,” Tayla concluded.
Damn. We need a drink!
