Jessika Power exposes new Married At First Sight bride Stacey Hampton

Married At First Sight’s Jessika Power is currently in the middle of a bitter feud between two of the show’s new brides, Stacey Hampton and Hayley Vernon.

Ahead of the season seven premiere on Monday, Jessika, 28, slammed Stacey, 26, on Instagram while partying with Hayley, 32, in Melbourne on Saturday night. 

Jessika, who found fame on season six last year, then leaked private Instagram messages to her 215,000 followers, all painting Stacey in a negative light.

In a lengthy rant, Jessika first claimed that Stacey ‘gaslighted’ Hayley while filming, with Daily Mail Australia understanding the pair repeatedly clashed on set.

Next to a picture of Stacey, Jessika began: ‘What I see here is a girl who’s 25, gone on this show and just gaslighted the s*** out of [Hayley] who has actually worked her entire ass off to be fit, healthy and brought herself out of the darkest of places.

‘All to be labelled and slandered by someone who is clearly insecure that someone may bag more “air time” than her. [Stacey] even wrote to me that she thought she was the new “me” on the show.’ 

Jessika then shared a private reply to her post from one of Stacey and Hayley’s co-stars on the new series, but hid the identity of the participant. 

‘Babe, you always see people’s true colours eventually,’ the anonymous co-star wrote to Jessika, seemingly siding with Hayley over her mystery feud with Stacey. 

‘More than three contestants from the 2020 [cast] have all confirmed my previous post. This year is going to be crazy. Strap yourselves in,’ added Jessika.  

Concluding her Instagram Story rant, Jessika leaked a cropped screenshot of a message Stacey had privately sent to her earlier in the week. 

‘I always thought I was the next you,’ wrote Stacey, as Jessika discussed the show and joked that several of the new brides had been compared to her.

Jessika tells Daily Mail Australia she was simply ‘sticking up for a friend’. 

A source close to Stacey has since sent Daily Mail Australia the uncropped exchange between the two women, showing them laughing and joking. 

‘How you finding it all?’ Jessika asked Stacey on Wednesday, days before she then sided with Hayley over their mystery feud, and publicly slammed her. 

Discussing Jessika’s posts, the source said: ‘People will see when they watch the show and should stop slandering names without anything to reply on.’

Channel Nine declined to comment when approached by Daily Mail Australia.
