Dom has said that her former co-star Olivia Frazer and her boyfriend Jackson Leonie attended the MAFS reunion with COVID, and passed it along to her.
During a recent Q&A on her Instagram stories, Frazer admitted that she and Jackson had COVID when the show’s reunion episode was filmed.
“Jack and I actually caught it on our flight on the way to the reunion in January,” Olivia said in response to a fan asking if she had had COVID yet.
“I was actually very sick and couldn’t breathe and stuff, so that’s why we looked so run down at the reunion, because we were very sick with COVID.”
Dom confirmed Olivia’s claims during an Instagram conversation with the So Dramatic! publication.
“Her and Jackson had COVID and knowingly attended the reunion,” she wrote on Facebook. “[It] was great that they passed it onto me which I then passed onto my parents,” Dom said.
“I just wanna be clear here too, the show did the right thing,” she penned. “At that time COVID rules had changed especially around testing etc. but for them to turn up and knowingly feel unwell… That’s what I was very angry about.”

The same publication has also claimed that there is currently an ongoing “investigation” undertaken by NSW Health and NSW Police probing whether protocols were breached.
This was “following concerns raised by more than a couple of contestants that COVID health guidelines were not followed, particularly during the reunion which in turn led to a number of participants contracting the virus,” a source told the publication.
It’s not the first time Olivia and Dom have butted heads. Throughout their entire season of MAFS, the two women were embroiled in multiple dramas, including one that saw Olivia admit to circulating racy photos she’d found of Dom to the other castmates behind her back.
