Since making her reality TV debut on Married At First Sight, Stacey Hampton has been blasted for her overly plump pout and puffed cheeks. And after hitting back at plastic surgery shamers on multiple occasions, she’s now revealed why she’s been able to brush off the criticism so easily.

Speaking to TV Week, the 26-year-old said people are jealous of all the work she’s had done, hence why they try to bring her down.
“Anyone who says they’re against cosmetic surgery is usually jealous and wished they could do it themselves,” she told the outlet. “My perspective on cosmetic surgery is if that’s something that makes you happy, feel better about yourself and more confident, then do it.”
Stacey— who tragically lost her brother the day she was due to give birth— has discussed what procedures she’s undergone on multiple occasions, candidly admitting before the show aired that she had a nose job when she was 22 after being relentlessly teased. She also had DD breast implants put in after the birth of her two children, along with a tummy tuck. Of course, like most reality TV stars, she also regularly gets botox and lip injections.
While she’s always been proud of her plastic surgery makeover, it seems as though the mum-of-two hasn’t taken people’s comments with a grain of salt, undergoing an extreme makeunder in the last few weeks! While doing the rounds on Today Extra, The Kyle and Jackie O Show and A Current Affair, the gorgeous blonde was unrecognisable without her lip filler and bleached blonde locks.

While Stacey seems to be bettering herself and moving on from her tumultuous time on the hit dating series, fans of the series are worried her MAFS husband Michael Goonan is now spiralling out of control. The successful businessman sparked concern over the weekend when a string of videos from one of his boozy nights out surfaced, showing the dad taking a swipe at Stacey while partying with a mystery woman.
“Having a couple quiet ones at the bar. Who do I bump into? This gorgeous girl. Giddy up. Oi! Every Bond film needs a villain. Ladies and gentlemen, here he is! Suck your heart out,” an intoxicated Michael said, sticking the finger up to the camera.
He captioned the blurry video: “Sorry STacie.”
As expected, many followers urged the “out of control” reality TV star to seek professional help for his apparent “drinking problem”, with his estranged ex-wife (along with many others) even suggesting Michael was on “drugs” when he took the weird video.
“Drugs are bad mmmmmkay,” wrote the soon to be lawyer who now despises Michael.
“This dude loves coke more than any chick,” one user replied, while another added: “A true catch right there… someone take the crack pipe away ASAP. This behaviour is really embarrassing.”
“High as a f***ing kite. What a mess. Look at that mouth go… Not just drunk,” a different follower quipped, adding a shocked face emoji.

As we know, Stacey and Michael constantly feuded over the nasty things he’d say and do when he was under the influence, claiming he was so drunk, he didn’t remember cheating on his bride with Hayley. Fortunately, the bodybuilder tuned bride remembers every detail, revealing on A Current Affair last Thursday evening that she kissed the entrepreneur multiple times during their wild night out.
“It wasn’t just one kiss,” the 32-year-old said. “It wasn’t this big in-depth thing. I walked into a room. He had his Tommy Hilfiger top on walking around like the alpha male that he thinks he is. And we macked on,” she continued.
“We went from chair to chair to chair. We went out. Kissed. It wasn’t just one kiss. It was happening for the night.”

Starring on Talking Married hours before, the finance broker slammed Michael for refusing to claim responsibility for his part in the scandal, claiming his excuse that he was “too drunk to remember doing it” is nonsense.
“Was it cheating? I kissed someone! That’s cheating. Oh, hang on, let me answer it how Michael would.”
Doing her best impression of the dad-of-one, Hayley said: ‘”Um… so I did flirtatious behaviour and I got a lap dance off Hayley, but if you call that cheating, then I have cheated…”‘
