The drama surrounding Gia Fleur's headline-making 36th birthday bash has taken another explosive turn.
Just days after the MAFS star's controversial guest list sparked outrage, intruder bride Juliette Chae has broken her silence - revealing she was sensationally disinvited from the celebration.
And according to Juliette, the shock decision came down to one person.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, Juliette claimed Gia chose to prioritise her unlikely reunion with on-screen rival Bec Zacharia over her so-called 'ride or die' friendship.
'I got disinvited,' Juliette said bluntly.
'I [initially] got invited, like late notice I think as well. And then because Bec was there, she told me that she didn't want me there 'cause Bec's gonna be there. And I said fair enough.'

The revelation comes after fans were left stunned that Bec - long considered Gia's arch-nemesis during filming
And Juliette admits even she was blindsided by the snub.
'Initially, I remember when she did tell me about it. I did have one of my best friend's birthday that night anyway, and so I was like, look, I don't think I can come.
'She begged and was like, can you do a like of an appearance? And I was like, sure.
'Then she texted again and said that she just didn't think it was the right move because she thought she didn't wanna have another dinner party happen again.'
In a move that has only fuelled speculation of shifting alliances within the cast, Juliette claimed Gia ultimately chose to avoid potential conflict by removing her from the equation entirely.
'So she'd rather have Bec - who she doesn't like - there,' Juliette said.
'At that point I was like, look, that's like whatever. Fair enough. Because also, would I really wanna be in the same room with Bec? Probably not.'

Still, the decision has raised eyebrows given Juliette's unwavering loyalty to Gia throughout the experiment.
'Yeah, you would think she'd have invited me, for sure,' she added.
'But I think Gia got really swept up in trying to be friends with Bec again.
'And Bec probably didn't want me there and was like, if you want me there, Julie's not gonna be there. And so she just probably folded for that.
'I bet she's regretting that decision now. Yeah, Gia has apologised multiple times.'
The bombshell claims come after Daily Mail revealed Gia celebrated her milestone birthday at Criniti's in
While several cast members including Rebecca Zukowski, Luke Fourniotis, Chris Nield and Chris Robinson were in attendance, a number of notable names were missing - including Juliette.
The absence of Gia's closest ally had already sparked speculation of a falling out.
But in a twist no one saw coming, Gia's longtime rival Bec Zacharia somehow scored an invite
And according to Bec, their feud may be a thing of the past
