On Wednesday, Tash broke her silence on the pair’s bitter feud, which has been ongoing since MAFS aired on Channel Nine earlier this year, opening up about just how tough she found their onscreen relationship.
“I want people to know what it was like for me, if they are curious or can’t understand through the editing and vilifying, what it was like to be constantly asked why you don’t want to be around someone that feels they are owed physical affection, love and fame no matter how many times you have explained, kindly, that you do not feel comfortable giving them that,” Tash wrote on Instagram.
“The person I was paired with was heavily slandering me to anyone who would listen; media, other reality stars, it was trickling back to me and I didn’t want to further incite the bullying (I was scared) and also didn’t want to stoop to her level and tried to remind myself it was coming from a place of pain,” she added.
“I contemplated serving her with harassment before deciding that eventually she would be her own undoing as people would have to see her true colours through her own behaviour.”
Now Amanda has responded to Tash’s claims with a thinly-veiled swipe at her former bride in two separate Instagram posts.
“Opinions are like assholes… everyone has one and most are full of sh*t!” Amanda captioned her first post, alongside a smiling selfie.
“Know your truth and be glad you’re not everyone’s cup of tea, imagine how exhausting That would be to try and gain everyone’s approval!!!” she added.
“Quality over quantity requires far less work yet far more reward 💕💕.”
In a separate post on Thursday, Amanda captioned a second photo: “Opinions don’t define your reality!!!”
Back in August, Amanda was slammed by fans for asking her followers to help fund her move from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, as she attempted to “start a brand new life.”
She started a GoFundMe page and asked fans for financial assistance so she could move interstate, away from the Victorian capital, which is currently under Stage 4 lockdown.
“I have decided it’s time to start a brand new life and move from Melbourne to the Gold Coast,” Amanda wrote on the page.
Amanda specifically asked for money to fund her flights and to pay for the mandatory hotel quarantine bill that is charged to anyone leaving Victoria, as they isolate for 14 days in a hotel.
“This move won’t be cheap with flights for both myself and the cat which will need to be separated, hotel quarantine for me and pet hotel for [her cat] Smokey. Transporting my personal belongings along with my car across the borders and setting myself up in a new house,” she explained.
“I would love your help to help me make this happen.”
In less than 24 hours, Amanda’s fans had already donated $5000 towards her cause, with payments from fans including one anonymous $3000 donation and multiple donations of $100, $200 and even $500.
