Speaking to Daily Mail, the 35-year-old Adelaide local addressed allegations she branded Gia a 'trashy s**t' at a tense hen's night.
'That would have been TV gold,' Bec said bluntly.
'If I had said that, there is absolutely no way it would have been left on the cutting room floor. It did not happen.'
Bec explained that while she and Gia clashed almost immediately, the tension stemmed from a personality mismatch.
'I think we are fundamentally very different people,' she said.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the 35-year-old Adelaide local addressed allegations she branded Gia a 'trashy s**t' after a tense hen's night
'In real life, our friendship groups wouldn't overlap. That's just the truth,' she continued.
The drama unfolded during the hen's party when Gia made a striking entrance, immediately shifting the atmosphere in the room.
Bec claimed Gia appeared disengaged and dismissive, particularly during emotional moments shared by other brides.

'Rachel was opening up on the couch, telling her story, and I could see eye rolling,' Bec said. 'It didn't sit well with me. It costs nothing to be kind.'
She also rejected claims that her issues with Gia had anything to do with her Playboy past.
'I wasn't judging her for being a Playboy bunny,' Bec said.
'She's a beautiful woman who walked in confident. It was her attitude that rubbed me the wrong way.'
According to Bec, the situation escalated when Gia declined to participate in group conversations.

Bec explained that while she and Gia clashed almost immediately, the tension stemmed from a personality mismatch
'We were all sitting there getting to know each other and I said, "Tell us about you,"' Bec recalled.
'She refused. I didn't understand why you'd come into a group like that and not open up.'
Bec insists she never approached Gia directly with insults and says the pair remained on opposite sides of the room for most of the night.

'She said I stared at her with evil eyes, but I was reacting to what I was receiving,' she said.
'It was a clash of personalities, nothing more.'
The outspoken bride also opened up about her emotional journey heading into the experiment, admitting she battled imposter syndrome after losing 20 kilograms.
'For the first time in my life, I felt pretty,' she said. 'But that fear of rejection was huge. What if he thinks I'm ugly? What if he walks away?'

Despite nerves, Bec said seeing groom Danny waiting at the altar filled her with relief, until his vows took a bizarre turn
Despite nerves, Bec said seeing groom Danny waiting at the altar filled her with relief, until his vows took a bizarre turn.
When Danny joked about needing someone to bail him out of jail, Bec said alarm bells immediately rang.
'I thought he wasn't there for the right reasons,' she said.
'I probably overreacted slightly, but you're standing there marrying a stranger. Those moments stand out.'

While the pair appeared to recover initially, Bec revealed the honeymoon marked a devastating turning point after Danny admitted he felt no sexual chemistry following intimacy.
'I felt friend-zoned straight away,' she said. 'It felt like I was judged on my looks, not my being.'
The rejection hit hard, with Bec admitting she felt unattractive and misunderstood in the aftermath.
'I felt ugly,' she said quietly.
Despite the heartbreak, Bec stood by her actions on the show and said she believes she was portrayed fairly.
'I'm Vegemite,' she said. 'People either love me or hate me. But I was unapologetically myself.'
She also confirmed she is part of the so-called 'Boss Babes' group referenced by expert John Aiken, describing herself as dominant, accountable and willing to grow.
Viewers can expect fireworks at upcoming dinner parties, with Bec warning she will be seen at both her best and worst.

'I was quite mean at one dinner party,' she admitted. 'It was a big eye-opener. I never want to be like that again.'
But one thing is non-negotiable.
'I'm loyal,' Bec said. 'If anyone comes for my husband, I will defend him. That's what wives do.'
As tensions continue to simmer, Bec made one thing clear – she is not backing down from her truth.
'These are real people,' she said. 'Not everyone is meant to get along.'
