IT’S an extreme way to get attention, but when you’re Lisa Oldfield, nothing has been off limits in the debut season of The Real Housewives of Sydney.

The controversial business consultant and wife of former One Nation politico, David Oldfield, admits accusing her co-star Krissy Marsh of throwing a dead cat over her fence was her idea of a TV stunt.

The sick joke is exposed in tonight’s finale The Real Housewives of Sydney: Reunion, when it’s confirmed a photo of a felled feline which she touted as evidence she was being targeted by her TV rivals was, in fact, copied from the social media search engine Google.

Explaining the bizarre storyline, Oldfield tells News Corp Australia there was method to her madness, forcing producers to take her real security concerns seriously.

With her family receiving “a number of threats” after David’s appearance on SBS factual series First Contact last year, Oldfield’s anxiety escalated when her show premiered and she became a social media target too.

“The producers kept making me say, ‘I’m Lisa from [suburb]’ and I kept saying, ‘no, this is not right. I’ve had my [porch] light smashed. I’ve had people say that they want me dead, they want my children dead, that my husband’s a racist.”

In despair, Oldfield says, “one drunken night I found a photo of the dead cat and said, ‘Look, this is getting serious, please. Can we re-record so I say [I’m from the] Northern Beaches and not my exact suburb?’”

Disturbed producers agreed to re-dub the voiceovers and Oldfield got her way.

The explosive reunion special, Oldfield says, “was a 19-hour head-f!@#.”

“We had short breaks and the food wasn’t very good so we were tired and we were angry. We were just over it. I was quite happy to never see those girls again.”
