Former MAFS star Nasser Sultan was reportedly turned away when he tried to enter the ARIAs last night.

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, security checked the list of names of people who were invited, and Nasser’s wasn’t on them. Shortly after his snub, the reality star was seen making angry calls on his phone nearby.

“Nasser thought he was there as one of the big celebrity guests, had spent weeks planning his outfit and thought he’d be walking the carpet and interviewing all the big names inside. He got a reality check when he arrived and found out he was stuck behind a barrier,” a source told the publication.

However, despite the humiliation, Nasser manage to later sneak into the event and spent the evening avoiding security. The publication reported that he received media accreditation for the event, which means he was meant to stand in a small area with other journalists off the red carpet.

Once inside, Nasser shared a story on his Instagram. “I want to toast to everybody that supports me and has been with me for the last four years. I’m at The ARIAs, which is one of the biggest events, music events of the year, and I’m honored to be invited. Thank you very much. Nasser, Australia’s favorite celebrity,” he said to the camera.

While Nasser was officially invited to the event, there were a handful of other celebrities who were. Among the attendees were Domenica Carlarco (MAFS), Ella Ding (MAFS),  Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant (MAFS), Josh Moss (Love Island), Brittany Hockley (The Bachelor and The Challenge and Angie Kent (The Bachelorette).

“I’m just so excited to be here celebrating Australian music,” Dom told Channel 9 of attending the music awards.
