She’s the self-described firecracker this year, and it seems that Morena Farina is really living up to her name outside the experiment too, with the Married At First Sight star going rogue at a bizarre viewing party thrown in her honour – by herself!
Defying the network’s usually watertight contract, the 57-year-old DJ and fitness instructor organised a huge viewing party in her home state of Victoria last month to watch the show’s first episode as it went to air.
Complete with a red carpet, media wall – which featured a life-size cardboard cut-out of herself – and a huge crowd of friends, family, and former MAFS stars, Morena ensured she made the most of her moment in the spotlight by going on an almighty tirade against her TV husband Tony Mojanovski.
Morena said she thought she would “end up with maybe someone who smelled, maybe someone who was up to my nipples, I knew I was going to end up with someone who I wasn’t physically attracted to. But never, ever, ever did I expect to be matched with someone who is unavailable,” Morena is seen announcing to the gobsmacked crowd in footage obtained by Daily Mail Australia.
This comment could be seen as Morena alluding to the rumours that Tony, 53, was separated but still married when he entered into the experiment, however, she could also be pointing to their communication issues on the show.
“But that’s OK, that’s my journey,” she adds. The star also revealed she had actually tried to remove her edit from the show.
“I actually said to them, if you can remove me, and make me invisible – make Tony just marry himself!”
Morena then ends proceedings by taking aim at MAFS’ broadcast network, saying that she “can’t believe that Channel Nine get away with what they do.”
The gloves are firmly off! And to top it all off, Tony’s second wife Tatiana has been dragged into this year’s antics after it was revealed they may have still been married during the experiment, but the ex has made it clear she wants no part of the drama – and more specifically, Tony’s on-screen wife Morena!
“Morena has tagged Tatiana in a few bizarre posts on Instagram and sent a friend request but there’s zero chance she wants anything to do with her,” a source tells Woman’s Day.
As for Tatiana’s relationship with Tony, an insider revealed that “Tatiana has no hard feelings towards her ex-husband and they still talk occasionally but she has 100% put their marriage behind them. Tatiana still hopes they can maintain a friendship.”
