Married At First Sight Australia star David Momoh has revealed his belief that bride Alissa Fay's sudden personality change was a result of bullying from other participants. The couple, who appeared on the latest series of the Australian reality show, initially seemed perfectly matched but their relationship unravelled in later episodes.
David explained that Alissa became a 'shell of herself' after being targeted with cruel texts by fellow brides Bec, Gia and Brook. However, when she later reconciled with them, her behaviour took a dramatic turn. He told TV Week: 'She came out to a different side of herself, and then things just changed.'
The 32-year-old claimed that Alissa's newfound confidence led her to dominate conversations and bulldoze discussions. He admitted to Pedestrian.TV that he felt unable to engage in disputes: 'I’m a guy. I see myself as intimidating. I’m not gonna have a word battle with a woman.'
Reflecting on the relationship, David told WHO magazine he ignored 'red flags' early on. He said: 'In hindsight, knowing how much I cared for her, I overlooked so much. I went above and beyond to show how much I cared. It makes no sense to me how she sort of flipped the script.'
The couple ended their journey at Final Vows after a tumultuous few weeks, with David now believing they were a terrible match from the start.
