Former Married At First Sight star Olivia Frazer plans to sue media outlets for defamation over their coverage of the show’s ‘nude photo scandal’.
Frazer, 27, caused controversy when she allegedly ‘outed’ rival bride Domenica Calarco as an OnlyFans creator on the latest season.
However, she denies ‘leaking’ any intimate images of Calarco – who has profited from the scandal by launching a post-show media career – and insists she has been falsely accused by publications of sharing so-called ‘revenge porn’.

Frazer stated her intention to pursue legal action during an Instagram Q&A on Monday after being asked by a fan if she would ever ‘sue MAFS’.
She responded: ‘Um, probably not because of contracts and stuff, but I do want to sue every publication for defamation that’s ever printed or said that I leaked OnlyFans content from Dom.
‘Because even Dom has said that’s not true.’

Frazer maintains the intimate photos of Calarco she discovered during filming last year were publicly available on Twitter and Reddit – and had in fact been posted by Calarco herself in order to promote her OnlyFans.
Therefore, she argues, it is inaccurate to say she ‘leaked’ anything.
Calarco does not deny posting the images on her social media, but has still made a complaint to police because of the ‘pain and hurt’ she suffered.
The matter is currently being investigated by NSW Police.
When the nude photo scandal aired on TV, many Australian news outlets rushed to describe Frazer’s actions as ‘revenge porn’, or image-based abuse.
However, as pointed out by Daily Mail Australia at the time, her actions do not appear to meet this legal definition because the photos of Calarco were sourced from her public social media accounts, not from behind an OnlyFans paywall.

Calarco also promoted her OnlyFans account on her public YouTube channel, as seen here
At the time Married At First Sight was being filmed last year, Calarco was using a Twitter profile to promote her OnlyFans.
This Twitter account, launched in November 2020 with the handle @Sunday09692571, featured non-explicit ‘teasers’ of her paywalled content – including the nude photo that was discussed on MAFS.
The leaked image in question showed her lying down on a bed with her bare bottom on display.
Calarco would later recreate the photo for a News.com.au article promoting the relaunch of her OnlyFans.
The pair’s feud exploded on MAFS when Calarco, a former makeup artist, screamed at Frazer at the couples’ retreat before smashing a wine glass in her direction
Frazer and Calarco were fierce rivals on the latest season of Married At First Sight.

Frazer retaliated by telling her co-stars Calarco had a secret OnlyFans account.
In the aftermath of the scandal, Frazer quit her job as a teaching assistant and, in an ironic twist, is now making a living on OnlyFans herself.
