Bride and Prejudice has never seen a mother like Fatima, who is so against her son Seyat’s relationship with girlfriend Jess that she has gone so far as to offer Jess $10,000 cash to leave Seyat.
“I was very upset that my own mother would even do that to me,” Seyat, 19, tells WHO.
“To make Jess leave me and have no one. I couldn’t sleep that night thinking how did she even came up with that idea.”
In the Channel 7 relationship show, Melbourne mum Fatima calls 21-year-old Jess everything from a “slut” to a “whore”, and one thing Jess complains about is that Seyat doesn’t stick up for her.
“Look, being in that position is very hard,” Seyat says. “My mum who raised me from a baby to now, she has done a good job. That’s why I love her. But then again, I love Jess so much. I love them both. They are the most important people in my life, that’s why I find it very hard. Being the person in the middle is difficult.”
So will Fatima ever accept Jess?
“I don’t think my mum will ever change her mind. She’s a very hard women to change. But I guess in the long run, when she sees how serious me and jess are, maybe she will be like ‘oh, well I have no choice to accept them both as now she will be apart of the family’.”
Bride & Prejudice premieres October 29 on Seven
