Married At First Sight star Mishel Karen has dropped a MAFS bombshell after revealing that her drink was spiked during production of the show.
The reality-TV star sat down with The Sunday Telegraph where she revealed that tranquillisers and benzodiazepines were found in her system, and that she “lost control of all bodily functions” after the alleged spiking incident.

“I said that I wanted to have a drink … and there’s a bar close to where we were staying so I said to the production ‘babysitter’ that I’m going to have one drink, and then I’m going to come back,” Mishel told the publication.
“I moved to the bar and I sat next to this guy and we just started to talk. I had a shot of tequila and a cocktail and that was fine, that was it. Then we were just talking and all of a sudden they (waitstaff) came around and he said this was a free drink.
“The guy picked one up for me and then he gave it to me. The guy was a little bit suss, but he was OK.
“I had the drink, and all of a sudden I could see the phone ringing. I could see myself trying to answer, trying to do something, but I can’t. And that’s all I can remember. I don’t remember anything after that drink.”
Controversial co-star Natasha Spencer was the first to spot Mishel in the street, and says she “could barely move”.
“She was sitting on the stairs outside of our apartment building near the bar she was at,” Natasha said.
“She couldn’t stand up, she was acting super strange, she could barely move. She was all floppy. I thought something was wrong, but I thought maybe she had taken something. I didn’t understand it was a drink spiking.”
Mishel then revealed that she lost control of all bodily functions as she got into an elevator.
The next day Mishel was instructed to use Endemol Shine’s GP instead of her pick.
“Once the test results came back the doctor rang me and said, “Look, you did test positive for opiates,” she said.
“I said, ‘Can you test this further, because I am actually allergic to morphine’. He said, “Look, it is probably a wig-out, there is no point in doing anything’.”
Mishel’s “husband” Steve Burley failed when he attempted to get a copy of CCTV footage from the bar.
Mishel told the publication that she is disappointed with the production company and Channel 9.
“There is a duty of care,” she concluded. “I actually could have ended up murdered. What if I did get raped?
“I’ve been violated by ingesting something that I did not want to take.”
