A source close to the retail manager turned reality star just revealed to New Idea that Lizzie received a much bigger paycheck for her time on MAFS, leaving her castmates understandably furious.
"Lizzie was paid a whopping fee of $100,000 for her four-week appearance on the new season, while the rest of the cast received just $150 per day," the insider told the outlet.
To make matters worse, Mishel Karen told WHO that Lizzie was treated like a queen on set, with every one of her requests answered with one word: "Yes".
"She didn't do it like us. She did it in first-class while we did it in third class... No, the luggage area of the plane," the Brisbane based school teacher told us.
Then, there are claims Elizabeth was hoping to be thrust back into the spotlight and couldn't wait to revel in her newfound fame.
"She's fake," Mishel said of Lizzie. "She was in it for fame. Like, no one would ever endure this twice. If you had sanity, would you go through the whole experiment as we went through again?" she asked her television husband, Steve Burley. "She wants to be Insta famous, she wants an extra 150 not 150, 000 followers."
Fellow bride Hayley Vernon also concurred she was sceptical of Lizzie's intentions, suggesting her relationship Sebastian Guilhaus is disingenuous.
"I'd like to say that I'm optimistic, but I haven't got any feels for them. I think it's very misconstrued... It's not kosher to me. I don't vibe what's going on there. Not to be a judgmental b***h, but I just think it's a little bit put on," the bodybuilder told the paparazzi during a night out in Sydney last month.
Jessika Power and Dan Webb also echoed a similar sentiment after watching her MAFS debut, admitting they're also questioning whether her intentions were pure.
"When I found out she was going back on the show last year, I said 'you have to be desperate to go back on.' I mean, come on," Jess told New Idea while reacting to last night's explosive MAFS episode with her cheating ex Dan.
"And then when I heard about that fight with Lizzie and Cyrell and how she was getting upset that she wasn't getting publicity... And it's sort of like, are you going back on the show for Instagram or love? I think if it was anyone, Melissa should've gotten a second chance. She really wanted to find love last year."
"I don't know. She's made a massive transformation so I don't know if she finds it hard meeting someone. I know you and me and a lot of other people know it's not that hard to meet someone. Do you need to go on national television to meet someone? Yeah, probably not," Dan added.
Elizabeth's cheating ex-husband Sam Ball also weighed in on her debut, confirming he's unconvinced she was looking to find the man of her dreams.
"Everyone that's been in the experiment [before] knows how set up [it is], and what goes on behind the scenes. I wouldn't do it again," he said when asked during an Instagram live what he thought of Lizzie's new TV gig. "Would I meet up with Lizzie and hang out? No, I wouldn't. I don't think we share the same interests. There are things that happened that were in her control after the show that she didn't have to do or comment on, which she did."
