1. “I feel like an absolute twit.” MAFS’ Martha says she regrets defending Jess over her affair.
In the understatement of the century, MAFS contestant Martha has admitted Jess’s approach to striking up a relationship with Dan – while still married to Mick – was “quite ruthless”.
You don’t say.
And, despite her fiercely defending the controversial bride on the show, particularly during Sunday’s intense commitment ceremony, she now says she “regrets” the stance she took on the matter, and seemingly encouraging Jess’ behaviour.
How… convenient.
To get you up to speed (in case you haven’t been watching MAFS, but… pls) during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony, Jess and Dan opted to leave their partners Mick and Tamara respectively, revealing that they had been seeing each other in secret – which is why they had chosen to remain in their failing marriages for so long.
They ended up sending Mick and Tamara home in tears, re-entering the experiment as a new couple, breaking every sacred MAFS rule and p*ssing off the nation.
“Knowing what I know now, I feel like an absolute twit defending Jess because she was quite ruthless in the way she went about what she did,” Martha, who knew about the affair all along, told 9Honey.
“Like I did stress to her ‘There is a right way to do this and I think you should tell Mick and just be clear with Mick because Mick would be so happy if you said you wanted to leave and you were done with him,'” she added.
… Did you though?
2. When Jameela Jamil was 19, she rejected a man and got punched in the face.
The Good Place actress and feminist icon Jameela Jamil just shared a downright terrifying story about how she was punched in the face by a man whose advances she rejected.
All when she was just 19 years old.
Speaking to Twitter about her experiences of being aggressively pursued by men, she began by recalling a recent incident in which a man shouted at her after she turned him down.
“Was out at the shops with my friend. Man ogles me. Man then approaches me to give me his number. I explain I have a boyfriend but thank him for the offer. Man then threatens my career, saying I better remember that I rejected him. And then Shouts at me that I’m low class...” she wrote.
A fan pointed out how "gross" it was that he wasn't discouraged by her revealing she had a boyfriend, to which Jameela added the shocking story from her teen years, highlighting the fact that it doesn't matter whether you have an "excuse" or not, and that "being a woman is truly, constantly scary".
Then, Sam retaliated by saying, “I would run out of breath or more likely get hungry, tired or bored.”
WHY ARE WE SO INVESTED IN THIS?
Sam claims Ines started the ‘rumour’ (it’s about oral sex, to be clear) because he supposedly refused to have sex with her.
But now Ines has backup.
