Though the series has officially ended, the two women have made it clear they are on anything but good terms.

And Bec has now broken her silence on “framing” her arch-rival on the show, and it seems she’s anything but sorry.

“Look, when the player gets played, it’s hard, she did that to everyone else the whole season,” she boldly said on Stan’s spin-off show, After The Experiment.

“Your relationship hasn’t been hunky dory the whole time, you’ve just been putting on a front. Come and actually show us a little bit of what you’re actually going through.”

Hosts Laura Byrne and Brittany Hockley asked Scott how he felt knowing that Bec had persuaded Gia to return, and he had some choice words.

“I think you’re just as bad as each other, I’m sorry,” he said of Bec and Gia.

“What I’ve witnessed this whole time, I have no respect for either of you, I never will because what I’ve experienced is nothing but trouble from both of you.”

Unseen footage of Bec revealed that she had tried to “frame” Gia by persuading her to return to the Dinner Party after fleeing the experiment.

“I don’t want to sit at a Dinner Party and have issues with people, I want to see Gia and Scott have it out with each other,” Bec confessed to the camera alongside Stella Mickunaite.

“The only person that was going to get her here was the only friend she had, which was me.”

“She f***ed me over, and now you look like a d***, so see you,” she continued.

“I’m framing them and selling them.”

Gia was shown the bombshell clip on MAFS: After the Dinner Party, and broke down in tears, saying she had truly believed her and Bec were friends in that moment.

“I feel like an idiot. I genuinely thought she was my friend at that point, that sucks,” Gia said through tears.

Gia claimed she had continued to try to be friends with Bec, even inviting her to her birthday party after filming, but their relationship has since crumbled.

The two women are no longer friends, and they are not believed to be on speaking terms.

What did the experts say about Bec and Gia’s feud?

Bec and Gia were finally held to account as all of their shocking behaviour was replayed at the Reunion Commitment Ceremony on April 12.

From their explosive texts about Alissa to their dinner party tirades, the entire cast and the experts were forced to watch the shocking “bullying”, as well as the unkind things they had said about each other to camera.

Alissa also accused Gia of not learning from her mistakes, claiming the bride sent her another “mean message” the day they left the experiment as the full extent of the fallout was exposed.

After watching the scenes, the cast and the experts had plenty to say as Bec was reduced to tears over hearing how deeply her actions had affected Alissa.

“That’s f***ing trash, guys, it’s always Bec and Gia,” Steph Marshall raged.

Alessandra Rampolla branded their behaviour as “shocking and disgusting”, prompting Bec to once again apologise to Alissa.

“The way I treated you was disgusting, and I vow to you and promise to you that I will never ever treat you or another woman, without speaking to them about it, again,” Bec said.

However, Mel Schilling took issue with Bec’s apology, saying it was filled with “excuses and qualifications.”

“I didn’t mean it like that, I will never treat another woman like that again. I meant because I didn’t even give Alissa an opportunity, I didn’t even have a conversation with her,” Bec added.

Alissa refused to accept her apology as she argued that Bec must have gone through some trauma of her own to be able to speak so viciously about others.

“This is just painful to listen to. It should be simple, just be kind, be a kind person. Don’t tear other people down, I don’t understand that, how to people even write messages like that,” Alissa said.

“I was a shell of a person for half of this experiment because of how I was treated.”

Gia then attempted to apologise to Alissa, but the bride didn’t believe a word, claiming Gia sent her an unkind text after filming.

“At the very beginning when you didn’t know who your friends were and you were trying to figure everything out, I heard all this information from Bec, and I jumped on the bandwagon. You did nothing wrong, it was just rumours I’d heard from Bec,” Gia said.

“All I can say is I’m really, truly sorry for everything I ever said, I wish I could take it back and be friends with you from the hens.”

Mel insisted the behaviour from the women was the worst she’s ever seen on MAFS, and shared her disappointment that Juliette Chae and Brook Crompton weren’t there to be held accountable.

“In a decade of doing this experiment, I’ve never seen so much animosity within the female group,” Mel fumed.

“It is unfortunate that Juliette and Brook aren’t here because they were major players in this behaviour as well. I’d really like you to have a long, hard look at yourselves.”

What did Gia and Bec say about Alissa?

The brides had previously spent weeks fighting about the messages they sent in a group chat about bride Alissa Fay.

After the couple’s retreat, Gia sent screenshots of Bec’s messages to Juliette, who then sent them to Alissa.

The infamous texts saw Bec call Alissa a “rat” and a string of shocking expletives, sending shockwaves through the group.

At the time, Bec was horrified and accused Gia of throwing her under the bus as a form of payback, which the mother of one admitted to.

Bec tried to defend herself by arguing that Gia had exposed them to “take her down”, but Alissa urged her to take accountability for her own words.

“Gia played a part in them as well, but what came out of your mouth, I was in tears, it was vile and vicious, babe,” Alissa fumed.

Bec has repeatedly tried to blame Gia and accused her of trying to take her down as their rivalry hit breaking point and began to affect the entire group.

What have Bec and Gia said about their feud?

Bec and Gia have been vocal about their dislike for each other in interviews, so fans were baffled when Bec turned up to Gia’s birthday party, despite their rocky relationship, with the pair greeting one another with smiles and hugs.

Juliette revealed that she was uninvited from the party because Bec was there in a surprising turn of events.

“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,” she told the Daily Mail.

“I think Gia got really swept up in trying to be friends with Bec again.”

Needless to say, their truce didn’t last long and they are not on speaking terms now.

Previously, Bec and Gia were vocal about their feud in interviews promoting MAFS.

After their exchanges at the hen’s night, Gia alleged to Chattr that her initial comments about Bec were in response to her calling her a “trashy s***”.

However, the Adelaide local has denied this.

“I actually rang production after I [saw Gia’s claims], and I said, guys, I need to know if [there is footage of me saying this], because if [it exists], she deserves an apology from me,” Bec told Chattr.

She said that the production crew assured her that it was not said, and said such a statement would have made “reality TV gold”.

“I think it would be a bit premature to make that assumption [about] someone before even getting to know them,” she continued.

Initially, Gia told the publication that Bec said it to her face.

That was at the beginning of the evening, before I’d said anything, but that wasn’t shown, so I get why people are thinking I’m horrible, but a lot of things are out of context, and not the whole evening was shown,” the Victorian, who is matched with Scott McCristal, alleged.

Previously, Gia, 35, told The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick that she “hates” the MAFS bride.

“Bec and I have a rivalry across the whole season,” she explained. “I would compare it to Cyrell [Paule] and Jess [Power] from a couple of seasons ago.”

In a separate interview, Bec also told the Daily Mail that they are “fundamentally very different people”, and she did not like Gia’s attitude.

“Rachel was opening up on the couch, telling her story, and I could see eye rolling,” she claimed. “It didn’t sit well with me. It costs nothing to be kind.”

She continued to say that she refused to engage in any conversations with the other brides, and also rejected claims that she judged her past affiliation with Playboy.

The Adelaide local said it was a matter of their personalities clashing, and “nothing more”.

“She said I stared at her with evil eyes, but I was reacting to what I was receiving,” she said.

What has happened between Gia and Bec?

Tensions began between Bec and Gia at the hen’s party, as they didn’t appear to get along upon their first meeting.

Speaking to the camera, Bec criticised Gia for her attitude towards the other brides, adding, “She’s hot though, I’ll give her that, too bad about the personality.”

While Gia had equally scathing remarks for Bec, saying, “Weird b***h. She was looking at me in a way like, I hate this b***h, and I was giving it back, so I don’t really care.”

She also called Bec a “five out of 10”, but told the Daily Mail that her remark was taken out of context.

“That wasn’t about how she looks,” she claimed.

“It was about her attitude, her demeanour and the way she was looking at me. It felt very judgmental.”

Bec later made amends with Gia as they bonded over a joint dislike of Alissa, launching a tirade against the bride at the second Dinner Party.

Bec revealed that she wasn’t a fan of Alissa’s, saying that they run in “the same circles” in Adelaide, hinting at some preexisting history between them.

When Brook Crompton caused drama at the second dinner party, Bec sat with the two women and backed them in their blazing row with Alissa.

Bec was seen shouting at Alissa over the table as the bride accused the girl group of “bullying” in a shocking twist to the fallout.

However, the peace between Bec and Gia was short-lived when Brook dropped a shocking bombshell at the end of the episode.

She claimed that Bec’s partner, Danny Hewitt, had said Gia was “his type” in comments which left Bec devastated.

Gia insisted Danny had remarked off-camera, while Danny firmly denied he had said any such thing, with Bec left confused over who to trust.

As tensions rose, Bec screamed across the table, “No, you’re not coming for my husband! Don’t you f**king dare!” before walking off in tears.
