WATCH: MAFS Martha fuels Kochie fight with NEW claims

WOAH!
  • 03 Jul 2019

Married At First Sight star Martha Kalifatidis has hit back at Sunrise host David Koch after he “refused” to apologise to the star.

WATCH IT HERE: MARTHA FUELS KOCHIE FIGHT WITH NEW CLAIMS!

Kochie ignited a war of words with Kalifatidis after he revealed the reality-TV star elbowed him in the ribs on the red carpet in an attempt to get in front of the camera.

Kochie's co-host Sam Armytage, newsreader Natalie Barr and sports reporter Mark Beretta supported their colleague, leading Martha and her on-screen husband turned real life boyfriend Michael Brunelli to slam the Channel Seven veterans for "bullying".

Now Martha has hit back in a new Instagram video.

“I feel like I want to get this off my chest,” said Martha. 

“Today Kochie refused to apologise for lying about the elbowing incident and he thinks that i don't deserve an apology.” 

She continued: “He just thinks that because I was on a reality TV show and am a reality-TV star that i don’t deserve to get an apology for him. Perhaps that i’m beneath him.”

“They have caused me so much stress and anxiety and for what ...for ratings?"

Daily Mail Australia spoke to Kochie outside the Sunrise studio at Sydney's Martin Place on Wednesday, and the anchor didn't mince his words.

"Maybe I put myself in a dangerous position between her and a photographer... And for that, I apologise.

"I've said all I need to say on Martha - we did on air," he added, referencing Sam's remark that she "couldn't pick [Martha] out of a line-up".

Kochie declined to show reporters the bruise on his chest which he said was developed as a result of Martha's elbowing.

“I’ve still got bruises in the ribs from the Married At First Sight woman who elbowed me on the way through," he said on Sunrise on Monday morning.

Kochie's colleague Mark Beretta also refused to apologise to the reality star.
