The controversial reality star talks affairs, regrets and life after the show
A character arc is the last thing viewers expected to see at the end of Married At First Sight’s most controversial season, but that’s exactly what the finale of the reality juggernaut served up when it came to Ines Basic. While things came full circle for the villain bride, she tells Woman’s Day it’s been a tough and exhausting journey.
INES ON... HER 12KG WEIGHT LOSS
At the height of the show’s drama, the feisty 28-year-old had fans fearing the worst after photos revealed her weight had dramatically plunged amid growing concern over her physical and mental health. “Losing weight when I’m highly stressed is not hard,” Ines tells Woman’s Day. “I had the roughest time – filming was really demanding and I had a lot of personal dramas just before the reunion.”
Weeks later, the TV bride snatched national headlines thanks to a DUI conviction that saw her fronting court with her own personal security and SVU transfers. Ines says of the ordeal, “That was the lowest point of my life... I’m ashamed and disappointed in myself and I think I needed that life lesson.”
