Dom has revealed that she tried to reach out to Olivia during the infamous OnlyFans scandal that happened on MAFS, but said she could only reach her co-star through the show’s publicist.
During an appearance on the How to Fail podcast, Dom said that Olivia had blocked her on all platforms, so she had no way to get in contact.
“In terms of Olivia and that whole [OnlyFans] storyline, I tried to reach out to her. She blocked me on every platform possible. So the only way for me to even get anything through was through the publicist.”
She continued, “You know when everything was going down and she was copping a lot of hate and it was just a lot of pressure. It was a lot in Australia. That didn’t sit well with me.
“Obviously, she had hurt me and there was a lot of animosity between us but it didn’t sit well that this woman was copping all of this hate and my name was attached to that.
“It wasn’t a selfish thing like, ‘oh my god I don’t want to be associated with that’, it was more like I can’t sit back and just watch this happen – knowingly just sit back while she’s copping all this shit and not try and do something about it.
Dom explained that while she couldn’t contact Olivia directly, she tried to send her support through a publicist for Married at First Sight.

“[I was] messages through them being like ‘Olivia I just hope that you’re ok and I don’t want to try and perpetuate this.’
“You know, yes we did have all animosity and yeah I don’t think she’s particularly a nice person and she had hurt me but I don’t wish on her what she received from the press and from the public.”
Olivia received major backlash after admitting to finding a risque picture of Calarco that was used to promote her OnlyFans account, and sharing it with other participants in the MAFS experiment.
