Months on from the latest season of MAFS coming to a fiery end, the contestants have reignited their vicious feud, with one star threatening legal action.

Kicking off this week, it all began with Jackson Lonie, Olivia Frazer and Carolina Santos piling on Domenica Calarco following the announcement she is set to host a new web series with Channel 9.

On Tuesday, the official Instagram page for MAFS shared a trailer for Dom’s spin-off series, Dom’s Debrief, which will see her calling up her former castmates for an update on life after TV marriage.

But it seems she might have some difficulty, with Carolina Santos and Jackson Lonie both commenting that they had blocked her number in a public dig at the reality star’s new venture.

“Your number is blocked hon oops. Devo that I missed it … Chatting to you would be like a dream of mine,” wrote Carolina with a cry laughing emoji.

Meanwhile, rival bride Olivia Frazer called out favouritism from producers for continuing to hire Dom over other season 9 contestants.

She later called out the video for including a clip of one of her and Dom’s on-screen confrontations and therefore suggesting that she might feature in the webseries.

Defending Dom, former Bachelor star-turned-radio host Abbie Chatfield then chimed in on her own Instagram Story that the others were just “jealous”.

“They’re jealous and they wish their career had the same outcome as Dom’s and now they think that if they gang up on her and bully her online then they will get more attention and everyone will start to dislike Dom, but it actually has the opposite effect,” she said.

Abbie urged the feuding MAFS stars to 'stay in their lane'.

“Just try and slay in your own lane, you know? That’s my opinion.”

Hitting back at Abbie’s assertion, Carolina explained: “You said we were all ‘jealous’ and ‘desperate for attention’, but if that was the case, don’t you think we would all have said yes and benefited from the extra 5-10 minutes of TV time?” she argued.

“We all disliked Dom because she used to come for everybody, attack everybody and meddle with everybody’s business in a very aggressive attacking way all for exposure, all for TV time. And that’s exactly what I think you do Abbie.

“That’s why you’re meddling in this situation that has nothing to do with you, and that’s why I think you two are a perfect match! Go be friends, besties, because you two are very alike.”

Olivia also responded to Abbie’s comments, saying there was “no jealousy whatsoever” in light of Dom’s post-show media opportunities, adding that the “whole cast” should have been involved in the webseries.

“We’re an ensemble. The show wasn’t a one woman monologue,” she wrote.

“And when a proposed show is about catching up with cast members, wouldn’t it be imperative that the whole cast want to be involved?”

She went on to call Dom a “violent individual”, slamming the Nine Network for “promoting” her “bullying and vitriol”.

Fellow contestant Jessica Seracino similarly weighed in that there was no jealousy towards Dom, claiming the Sit With Us podcast host “verbally abused and bullied” her on the show.

“I had no family or friends in Sydney and I would go back to my hotel and cry and vomit from how much stress my body was taking,” she added.

The pile-on prompted a furious response from Dom, who took to TikTok to rubbish Jessica’s claims.

“I am sitting here shaking with rage now and sweating because of the pure lies of this, like, oh my god. Everyone was f**king there but of course, everyone that was there is going to say that I did this because they all hate me for some f**king reason. This never happened Jess … Seriously, just stop.”

In a separate video on her Instagram Story, Dom spoke directly to her co-stars.

“This is targeted towards people that have blocked me because I’ve got no other way of contacting them because they all block me because they’re all f**king scared of me apparently and they don’t want to have any form of communication because they can’t handle it,” she began.

“Stop calling me violent, stop calling me abusive. Because if you keep doing that, you’ll be getting a f**king cease and desist in your inbox. I’ve got no other way of contacting you, so here you go. I hope all your little minions f**king send this to you in your DMs. Understand?”

In a third video, she said she was sick of women being labelled as “violent” and “abusive” for standing up for themselves.
