Married At First Sight Australia's David Momoh has taken a savage swipe at his on-screen wife Alissa Fay after watching unaired footage of her making nasty comments about his financial status during the experiment.
Alissa, 33, made a string of sly remarks about David's 'unstable' life choices, fueling fresh tension between the couple whose marriage is beginning to crumble on television. Homestays Week proved disastrous for the once-solid pair, as they faced multiple dramas in Alissa's hometown of Adelaide.
During the mini-break, Alissa spent most of her time 'spiralling' about her future, worrying about when to have children and whether David, 31, would move to Sydney and then Adelaide to raise a family. While David kept his cool and received praise from her friends and family for being 'exactly the kind of man she needs', Alissa was blinded by panic and later ripped him apart to producers for 'not being able to provide' the 'lavish lifestyle' she wants.
In a shocking clip now watched by David during his appearance on After The Dinner Party, Alissa told MAFS cameras that he needed to 'do something with his life'. She sighed: 'Are we both gonna be able to live this lavish lifestyle that I want to live and that he wants to live? Are we gonna be able to afford it? Because it's important that we can keep up with each other.'
Her comments worsened as she criticized him for not owning a house yet and questioned whether he owned his car. 'Obviously, you know, he's still renting,' she added. 'He might drive a car that he might own. Um, but where are your assets? I need to know that you are financially stable and you can look after a family.'
David reached his limit upon hearing exactly what his wife thought about his finances and has since taken several swipes back at her. Not only has he offered to show Alissa his official bank balance as proof he is 'financially stable', but he has also made jibes on social media.
Taking to TikTok to poke fun at her cruel comments, he posted a video showing himself sadly eating dinner at a restaurant with co-star Scott McCristal, with the text: 'POV HOW YOUR FOOD TASTES WHEN YOU HAVE NO ASSETS, AND A CAR YOU MIGHT OWN.' In another humorous clip, capturing him begging for spare change on the floor before getting into his car, he wrote: 'POV: LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE NO ASSETS.'
It is clear their marriage is slowly going downhill on the show, and outside the experiment they have definitely not found their happily ever after. Viewers will wait to see what else gets exposed on social media now that the battle lines have been drawn.
