John Aiken rubbishes Olivia Frazer’s MAFS editing claim in new interview

John Aiken has opened up about MAFS bride Olivia’s latest claim about this season, rubbishing suggestions things are not as they seem.

Relationship guru John Aiken has sensationally backed MAFS bride Domenica Calarco in a candid new interview as her nasty feud with fellow bride Olivia Frazer continues to play out.

Aiken, 51, who was praised for scolding the group on Sunday night amid the season’s explosive nude photo drama, rubbished Olivia’s recent claims that fan favourite Domenica was actually the secret mean girl and “had a go at everyone” during filming.

Olivia has claimed she’s been the victim of strategic editing.

It comes as viewers continue to blast Olivia for sneakily circulating a naked photo of Dom among the group after several weeks of tension between the two women.

During Monday’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, Jackie asked Aiken if there was any truth behind Olivia’s claim that Dom was actually the “villain” on set.

“I don’t think Dom calls out people unnecessarily,” he said.

John Aiken backed Dom again after Olivia's stunning editing claim.

“I think Dom’s a straight shooter, she’s opinionated, and that’s one of the reasons why people really connect with her … it’s because she’s authentic.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Kyle Sandilands asked John to pinpoint the exact moment it all started to unravel between the brides.

Recalling a commitment ceremony in which he had reprimanded cheating bride Carolina for her behaviour towards her match Dion, Aiken said it was the moment Carolina sat back down with the other couples that seemed to strike a nerve for Olivia.

“Dom gave it to [Carolina] across the room and called her a bully, and at that point, something changed with Olivia and she stepped in and said, ‘Now I’m going to take you on, Dom.’ And from that moment, it really escalated,” he said.

Things kicked off between the two rivals after Dom called cheating bride Carolina a "bully" during a commitment ceremony.

The radio interview came after Olivia admitted she felt no empathy for exposing her co-star’s OnlyFans account during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony, prompting a dressing-down from fellow expert Alessandra Rampolla.

“It just wasn’t a big deal,” Olivia said in defence, with Alessandra clearly having none of it.

“Maybe there’s a little room there for a little human empathy,” the sexologist had suggested.

“As far as empathy … I just don’t have it,” responded Olivia to the shock of fans watching along at home.

MAFS expert alessandra appeared puzzled by Olivia's response

Just last week Olivia had declared that most of the bad things she’s said on the show had been taken “completely out of context” and that it’s “warped reality”.

The 27-year-old teaching student started out as the nice girl of the experiment but in recent weeks has come under fire from viewers for her admittedly “petty b*tch” behaviour towards Dom.

Speaking on KIIS 101’s Jase & Lauren in the Morning, Olivia said she was “embarrassed” by how poorly she’d been edited on the dating show.

“I know people who have good edits are like, ‘Don’t blame the edit’, but a lot of what I say is completely taken out of context,” Olivia argued.
