Married At First Sight’s Melinda Willis breaks her silence as she reveals the truth behind her ‘feud’ with ‘hottest bride ever’ Evelyn Ellis
Married At First Sight’s Melinda Willis has finally broken her silence about her alleged ‘feud’ with co-star Evelyn Ellis.
The reality TV brides were reportedly at war during last week’s TV Week Logie Award nominations event in Sydney, leading to whispers of a rift between the two.
Willis, 33, has now shed light on the situation, dismissing rumours of a dramatic fall-out.
‘There was an article that came out. It was about the breakfast nomination for the Logies and it’s saying, “like bride’s at war, besties Mel and Evelyn are no longer friends”, so that’s not entirely true,’ she said.
The reality TV star confessed the recent press coverage has taken a toll on her.

‘Lately I’ve done some interviews and I feel that a lot of things have been taken out of context and there’s a lot of media stirring the pot and you just don’t really know who to believe,’ she vented.
It was previously reported Evelyn was upset about ‘certain things Melinda said about her relationship and about Duncan.’
The tension was palpable at the event, with the two women avoiding each other.

‘[Evelyn and Melinda] were on opposite sides of the room and purposely avoiding each other,’ a spy told Daily Mail Australia at the time.
‘It was very awkward as photographers were expecting them to pose together since MAFS was up for two awards.’
In addition to the awkward encounters, Willis has been in hot water for comments she made about Evelyn’s relationship with Duncan James.
Last month, the Gold Coast beautician suggested to Heat World that the couple were ‘only dating for the hype.’
‘It feels like in the beginning, you know, maybe they didn’t realise it was going to be like a real relationship. Maybe it was more like a bit of a hype, then it turned into a real relationship. That’s all I’m going to say,’ she divulged.
