Footage of private bathroom conversations spearheaded by controversial Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur have been leaked – and prepare to pick your jaws up off the floor.

In a sequence of clips shared on the Stan series MAFS: After The Dinner Party following Wednesday night’s explosive episode, polarising participant Gia is exposed as being the “puppet master” who appears to have played fellow brides, Juliette Chae and Bec Zacharia, against each other.

The shocking footage captures Gia playing them “like a fiddle” as she evidently orchestrates the entire screenshots saga which exposed a WhatsApp group chat whereby Bec called fellow bride Alissa Fay a “c**t”.

When the drama played out on screens this past week, Gia watched on silently as Bec and Juliette exchanged barbs – Bec was livid that Juliette called her the “dumbest c**t” at the retreat last week, while Juliette felt Bec was a hypocrite for using the same C-bomb to describe Alissa in her vile texts.

But in revealing clips captured in the 20-minute lead up to Sunday night’s commitment ceremony (watch above), Gia was caught on camera pulling the strings in three separate conversations with the pair.

In the first leaked audio, Gia chats to Juliette behind the scenes, instructing the distressed bride to use screenshots Gia had sent her as a defence for calling Bec the C-word.

“I reckon they’re going to bring up the c**t thing and they’re going to say, ‘This is a pattern and you’re a f***ing bad person.’ That’s what I think they’re going to say. And then what are you gonna do?” Gia quizzed her.

“Say, ‘I used the word c**t because I thought that language was something Bec’s used to. And I though it would be OK to use that when I was angry … Oh, whoops,’” Gia advised.

She then told Juliette to whip out the screenshots to support her argument.

“‘Here’s the screenshot that shows you said [c**t] in one message. Do you not say c**t?’ And then I’d walk out,” Gia suggested. “There’s things that are gonna save us. People aren’t dumb. You think everyone’s going watch this and agree with Bec?”

However, just five minutes later, Gia chatted to Bec from behind closed doors of a bathroom, in which she appeared to do a 180 and side with her on-screen rival, warning her that Juliette was about to read out her distasteful texts about Alissa.

“I have to tell you …” Gia whispered, not knowing her mic was still on. “[Juliette’s] bringing the screenshots out … Old convos I sent her from ages ago. I sent her, like, four weeks ago and she’s printed them out. I just found out … I’m actually doing something nice right now, so shush.”

Following that bathroom admission, Gia then returned to Juliette to reveal that Bec knows about the texts, claiming someone from the MAFS production team had told her.

“She knows about the screenshots,” Gia told Juliette. “Somebody told her in production. She said, ‘What does Juliette have on me? And I said, ‘I don’t know.’ I just admitted it to her.

I said, ‘Babe, you need to stop what you’re doing,” and she goes, ‘Why?’ And I said, There’s screenshots.’”

An annoyed Juliette told Gia that she shouldn’t have shared that information because it was her only “saving grace”, to which Gia then blatantly lied, “But she doesn’t know what the f**k they are and she doesn’t know that you’re doing it.”

After all the back and forth between the brides, Gia then pulled aside another participant, her on-screen confidant Chris Robinson, just before entering the commitment ceremony to tell him that can’t back Juliette after all.

“We can’t back Juliette. Just trust me. It’s a losing battle,” Gia told him. ‘Stand up for yourself. She’s leaving anyway, so we need to be careful.”

MAFS: After The Dinner Party host Jules Lund was left gobsmacked by the footage, calling it “puppeteering”.

“[Gia] obviously never backs a losing horse, and she clearly saw that Juliette could not back it up,” he concluded.

Indeed, during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony Juliette was left out to dry as she brought up the screenshots to the group. When she was met with indifference from her own posse consisting of Gia and Chris, Juliette spectacularly up and left the couch.

Before her exit, she said she was “covering up so much” and that she believed the experiment was not for her, much to the shock of husband Joel Moses.

“Gia, what the f**k?” Juliette then questioned her supposed friend as she stormed out.
