Tempers flared on Married At First Sight's reunion dinner on Sunday when controversial contestants Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough arrived as a newly formed couple.
After comments made by Jono's former bride Lauren Dunn, Ellie became so enraged her foul mouthed rant had to be extensively censored with a bleep.
However, the exchange that went to air may not have shown the full story.Speaking with Daily Mail Australia, Ellie claimed the scene was heavily edited and her insults were directed towards fellow MAFS bride Sara Mesa, rather than Lauren.
'I think I was just you saw some horrible language from me and that was actually at the end of the night and it was directed at Sara [Mesa], not at Lauren,' said the reality TV star.

In the scene that went to air, Ellie says, 'Are you f***ing serious, I left the experiment in week five you f***ing b***h', in what looks like a direct response to Lauren.
But the clap-back was apparently directed towards Sara after she accused Ellie of craving screen time.
'I never had any issue with Lauren and she didn't have an issue with me. It was Sara who got involved saying that I was just doing this for the limelight,' Ellie explained.
'It was the very end of the dinner party, but yeah, they didn't show that. 'They showed that in the middle and It was like I was saying it to Lauren, when that was certainly not the case,' she added.
The show's experts meanwhile said of the spray: 'We've never seen this side of Ellie she's coming across as quite insensitive and very confrontational'.

Jono and Lauren then came to metaphorical blows, with a furious Lauren calling her former groom a 'dog'.
'You're the nastiest person I've ever met in my life, Lauren,' Jono snapped back. The pair had announced their relationship during the show's reunion episode on Sunday night.

After denying they had feelings for one another, they faced the other brides and grooms as a couple.

Other participants noted how hurt Lauren seemed, and how 'slimy liquid Erfahrungsbericht' and 'smug' Jono was behaving. 'Of course, I'm hurt. And I have been made to feel like I am just this, like, evil b***h that has these walls up, giving this nice guy a chance,' a tearful Lauren said.
'The whole time, I am treated as this cold person because I'm reactive and I use swear words. Like, that makes me bad?'
'I've got a loud voice and I swear a bad person, and he just put on this, like, nice guy act the entire time. Like, it's so unfair,' she sobbed.
