Married At First Sight’s Domenica Calarco has revealed that she is speaking to lawyers after being accused of “violent” behavior during filming of the Nine show last year.
The former makeup artist, 29, says three former MAFS stars, Olivia Frazer, Jessica Seracino and Carolina Santos, defamed her by claiming on Instagram that she was “offensive”, “violent” and aggressive towards them.
Calarco denies the allegations, saying that she only has a strong personality and that the conflict arose because of the tense environment surrounding the experiment, but she never crossed the line.

“I do not take defamatory language lightly at all,” Calarco told The Daily Telegraph on Monday.
“It’s not about the language of ‘jealous,’ but when it comes to calling me ‘violent’ and ‘abusive,’ it just has to stop. Some of the language used against me [last week] was really defamatory against my character.
“People need to know that online hate is not okay and that they will be held accountable for their words and actions.”

Frazer, Seracino and Santos made claims about Calarco last week after Channel Nine announced Calarco’s new spin-off webshow Dom’s Debrief.
The series met with opposition from some cast members, who accused the network of favoritism towards Calarco. In particular, there’s a feeling that several MAFS stars were unfairly portrayed as “bad guys” so that they could get a shiny edit.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph, Frazer said on Instagram, “My problem is with the producers who chose to keep a violent person on set and then did nothing but encourage that person and, as a result, bullying and hateful people against him to promote me what was repeated in yesterday’s promo [for Dom’s Debrief].’
Meanwhile, Seracino took to Instagram to accuse Calarco of violently yelling at her in scenes that weren’t televised during the cast meeting.

“None of us are jealous [about the web show]. I speak [about] a certain person like me because from the second I walked on this show I was literally being verbally abused and bullied without them knowing anything about me or my situation,” Seracino claimed in an Instagram comment.
“I had no one, I had no family or friends in Sydney and I would go back to my hotel and cry and throw up because my body was under so much stress.
“One night this psycho girl cried at the psychologist and yelled foul language at me.
“Funny how people get off the TV and forget how much goes on behind the scenes and the power of false narrative.”
It’s unclear what Santos said to allegedly defame Calarco.
Calarco already threatened her co-stars with legal action last Wednesday in a video she posted to Instagram in response to Seracino’s allegations

“This is aimed at people who have blocked me,” she said, adding a filter over the clip so she appeared to have “devil horns.”
‘Because I have no other way of contacting them because they’re all blocking me because they seem to be all freaking scared of me and they don’t want any form of communication because they can’t handle it,’ she added.
“Stop calling me violent, stop calling me abusive. Because if you keep doing this, you’ll get a fucking cease and desist letter in your inbox.
‘I have no other way of contacting you, so go ahead. I hope all your little servants send this to you in your DMs. Understand?’
Hours earlier, she had categorically denied Seracino’s claims in a TikTok video.
“I can’t believe I have to fucking answer that, but this is fucking ridiculous,” she said.
“Well, Jess addressed that at the reunion that I yelled at her when she cried when I was talking to the psychologist.”
“It gets my bloody blood boiling for nothing because I would never do that,” she added.
“I would never yell at or verbally abuse a person when they are crying and talking to the psychologist.

Calarco admitted last week that she may struggle to defend her reputation over fears the other MAFS stars will all back Seracino
“I’m sitting here shaking with anger and sweating because of it [the] sheer lies of how… oh my god.’
Calarco then admitted she may have trouble defending her reputation over fears the other MAFS stars will all support Seracino.
“Everybody the fuck has been there,” she said, “but of course everyone who’s been there is going to say that I did that because they all hate me for some damn reason.”
“That never happened. Jess, I don’t understand what you have against me,” she continued.
‘However. You do not like me. I do not like you. It’s good. These cops ** not only. Seriously, just stop it.”

Calarco closed her TikTok video by saying she’s past the drama and trying to move on with her life after MAFS.
“It was the show,” she said. “We were there to talk about relationships. I didn’t know what was going on behind the scenes.’
“Of course you didn’t give enough. i asked you questions You didn’t answer them,” she added of her on-screen confrontation with Seracino.
“Yeah, I went a little hard,” Calarco then admitted. “That’s my personality. Sorry, but that… I never called you names. Never. So cut it off!’
