Married At First Sight: Martha’s too scared to go outside after receiving death threats

Martha outraged Married At First Sight viewers when she bragged about getting money from her parents. Now she’s hit back.

Martha from Married At First Sight is back-pedalling after saying in last night’s episode that her parents support her financially.

At the final dinner party, Martha was shown saying to Jessika, “I’m not working. My parents are supporting me”.

She added that “somehow it (money) manages to find its way into my account”.

Not surprisingly, the comment didn’t go down well with viewers.

These girls are unemployed and still leeching off their parents? Why am I not surprised#mafs #MAFSAU #MAFSAustralia #martha #jessika

Martha and Jess talking about not working and getting money from their parents like that’s supposed to be something to aspire to... Next time, there should be two tables. Sit those girls at the kids tables to eat their nuggets and chips while the adults talk #MAFS

I love how Martha craps on about how she's built a life for herself in Sydney and that she's successful, then brags about how her parents have to support her. So embarrassing... #MAFS

Martha and Jess got angry when Jules called them girls, but both of them are proud to have their parents support them? How DISGUSTING. #mafs #mafsau

This morning Martha, who is a freelance make-up artist, attempted to set the record straight during an interview with Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa.

“When we filmed the reunion it was just during the Christmas break so I hadn’t gone back to work,” Martha said.

“In between wrapping up filming which was in December and then filming the reunion which I think was in January, I didn’t go back to work. It was the Christmas break and there really was no work for me.

“During that little stint my parents did support me, yeah. To say that they support me throughout my life — they don’t, no. If I ever needed help they would help me out, but they don’t support me.”

Martha is currently staying at her parents’ home in Melbourne and she told KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O that she’s too afraid to leave the house due to the number of death threats she’s received.

“The amount of death threats and violent threats that I received, I actually said to Michael, ‘I’m actually scared now’,” Martha said. “Last night was a new level. They know exactly the places that I go to.

Martha and Michael are still together.

“I’ve been going to the local shops by myself, and they’re messaging me going, ‘Wait until I see you at so and so’. Michael even said, ‘Maybe just don’t go out alone for a while’.

“Some of these messages were really scary,” she added. “It’s just a show. People have taken it so seriously and are so emotionally invested.”

The controversial contestant told the KIIS FM hosts she was too scared to go back to work as a make-up artist.

“I don’t want to be just turning up to people’s houses,” she said. “I don’t feel safe at the moment, I really don’t. I don’t know who I can trust.

“I did ask to go back to my old job, which was at a retailer, but it was too much of a liability for them.”

On a lighter note, Martha also set the record straight about that dress that got drenched in red wine at the dinner party.

“That’s not the Prada dress,” she told Kyle and Jackie O. “The Prada dress is tonight.”

The white dress viewers saw her wearing last night was designed by the woman who made Martha’s wedding dress, and no, it didn’t get ruined.

“We had it dry-cleaned,” she said. “It’s brand new again, it’s perfect.”

The Married At First Sight finale airs on Channel 9 tonight at 7.30pm
