Tayla has said that she believes she was given a “villain edit” on MAFS because there were no other females who could be painted in a bad light.
“I’ve definitely been given the villain edit,” she told Hit100.9’s Dan & Christie. “They didn’t really have a female villain this year and I had to slide into that role a little bit.
“I don’t think it’s a true representation of myself and it’s not reflecting who I am, but it is what it is. The people who know me know me.”
Tayla added that she went into the relationship experiment “extremely naive”.
“I was taken full advantage of over there, they manipulated me quite a lot,” she said.
“Even last night, they edited my audio so much to make it sound like I wanted to stay. I never wanted to return from Tassie but I had to.”
The revelation comes after Daily Mail Australia reported that Tayla shared a deeply personal three-page letter with her fellow grooms and brides that had some of her castmates in tears, but the scene was cut out of the episode.

“Tayla barely got through the letter, she was crying her eyes out,” a source told the publication
“She didn’t tell anyone about it. She just pulled the letter from underneath her dress and began reading it out.
“It was a deeply personal letter, and it explained why she would always keep her guard up.
“Tayla was very raw and vulnerable … it was a side that none of the cast had seen from her.
“It was tough for everyone. The cast were in tears and ran over to comfort her.”
