The Married At First Sight Australia drama continues, with Olivia Frazer today addressing last weekend’s cheating scandal involving her expert-chosen partner, Jackson Lonie.
Sharing a post to Instagram Stories today, Frazer has finally addressed Lonie’s “horrendous” infidelity.
““Thank you so much for the love and support during this horrendous time,” she wrote. “I’ve seen so many beautiful messages and people checking in and I just wanted to let you know that although I’m so heartbroken and so embarrassed, I am okay.”
Thanking fans for their kindness, Frazer continued, “I will be focusing on healing from this privately.”
ICYMI – 31-year-old Lonie was spotted kissing a 20-year-old woman at Lava Nightclub in Melbourne on Friday night.
Fellow MAFS star Domenica Calcaro called the scandal a “publicity stunt” – a claim subsequently denied by the couple’s publicist, Max Markson.
“It’s very kind of Dom to compliment me on my work ethic. I do like to think I work hard,” Markson told the Daily Mail on Monday. “However, this whole situation was nothing to do with me. Definitely not one of my PR stunts.”

A second woman later claimed to have kissed Lonie the same night.
“We were at [Lava Lounge]. He started talking to me, just asking me questions,” the woman told So Dramatic!. “I went to walk away back to my friends and he pulled me back and kissed me a few times.”
The woman told the publication she wasn’t aware of Lonie’s “celebrity” status, but her friends were “all excited” about the kiss.
The first woman that was reported to have kissed Jackson that night, Hannah Hughes, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show she did “know of” Lonie prior to the kiss.
“Obviously I’ve never watched all the MAFS stuff, [but] I’ve seen some clips here and there,” she told the show’s producers. “But we didn’t orchestrate it or anything like that. As any young adult would when they’re going out, if you see your friend kiss someone, usually you just take a photo and the next morning you’re like, ‘Oh, look at this, look what you did!’ You know what I mean?”
As So Dramatic! reported earlier today, the scandal has worked in Frazer’s favour in terms of her Instagram following, which has jumped more than 10,000 followers since the news broke on Saturday.
