Bec Regrets Not Defending Stella at Dinner Party

Married At First Sight star Bec Zacharia has admitted she regrets not standing up for bride Stella Mickunaite during Wednesday's explosive dinner party.

Stella, 32, was set upon by controversial bride Brook Crompton and fellow bride Gia Fleur in a series of vicious attacks that also stung Alissa Fay.

Bec found herself siding with Brook and Gia, particularly when they launched their attack on Alissa.

Speaking with Daily Mail, Bec admitted that she regrets her actions, saying that watching the dinner party back was 'confronting and upsetting'. 

'I have such huge disappointment in myself, because I don't act this way,' she said.

'The fact that I was even sitting on that side of the table was atrocious.'

Bec continued: 'It's not acceptable to not stand up for these poor women who are getting absolutely throttled by bullies. 

'And I became one for a night and it's not okay. I need to take a long hard look at myself.'

She said that she had been gunning for Alissa after she had been told by Gia and her husband Scott McCristal that Alissa had labelled her relationship 'fake'.

In spite of the alleged barb, Bec said that she wishes she had acted differently in the moment.

'Instead of standing up for Stella or pulling Alissa aside, instead I sat there and allowed this all to happen and it's not all right,' she said.

'I should have practiced what I preached so I'm just as guilty as the rest of them.'

In fact, Bec went one further, saying that anyone who did not speak up was also culpable.

'Whoever sat there quiet also owes Stella and Alissa an apology, all of us are just as bad for not shutting it down' she said. 

Bec admitted that she had already apologised to Alissa and was quick to offer another to Stella.

'I apologised to Stella publicly for not standing up for her,' she said.

'I’ve apologised profusely multiple times to Alissa – she was at my birthday party on the weekend.

'I didn't attack Stella but I think she is owed an apology from me and everyone at the table for not coming to her defence.'

Bec also took aim at Gia's post-dinner party claims that

'This is not an edit,' Bec said. 

'What happened is what happened. No producer can make you go in there and scream at people.

Bec added: 'But to say that, behind the scenes, the producers are making you do this is absolute bulls*** and I think she needs to be a big girl and take accountability.'
