Former Married At First Sight bride Bec Zacharia has returned to Instagram, a week after her account was deactivated<\/a> over a scandal at Australian Fashion Week<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Bec \u2014 one of MAFS season 13\u2019s most talked-about participants<\/a> \u2014 claimed earlier this month that her Instagram profile was taken down after she was \u201cmass-reported\u201d by users following a viral interview during AFW.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In that interview with The Gloss Over Podcast<\/a>, Bec claimed she spent $20,000 on her wardrobe throughout her time on MAFS, adding that she was \u201cthe only bride\u201d who bought her outfits as opposed to hiring them.<\/p>\n

The comment was quickly refuted by Aussie dress hire company RESRVD, whose owner, Savannah, shared receipts on social media that showed Bec had enlisted her services for an outfit worn in the Final Vows ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bec copped backlash over the claim to the point of receiving mass reports on her Instagram, resulting in it being deactivated. <\/p>\n

But the reality star\u2019s page has since been reinstated, and she shared an Instagram post with her MAFS co-star Alissa Fay<\/a> over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The aftermath of the viral interview<\/p>\n

Soon after her account was deactivated, Bec said her social media page \u201cwas literally my income source\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, my Instagram being deleted because of so many people reporting me has literally completely stopped any form of income I had coming up, and it\u2019s detrimental to my whole life,\u201d she told PEDESTRIAN.TV<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m barely surviving, and I\u2019m completely cash poor,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bec apologised to Savannah and RESRVD for the interview that got her into hot water in the first place, saying she \u201cnever meant to maliciously hurt Savannah\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honest and genuine mistake. As soon as I realised her grievances, I posted it and tagged her and thanked her and apologised,\u201d Bec told PEDESTRIAN.TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Savannah has not responded to Bec\u2019s apology, but she did share a video thanking viewers for their support last week.<\/p>\n
