Married At First Sight rocked by 'punch' row: Police called in during filming

Controversy on the set

Married At First Sight has been rocked by controversy after the police were called in over a groom ‘punch’ row during filming. Paul Antoine, 31, confessed that he punched a hole in a wall during a heated argument with his bride, Carina Mirabile, also 31.

Police investigation underway

The violent outburst, which was not captured on camera, was revealed during Wednesday night’s episode, leaving viewers stunned as Paul admitted to losing his temper. NSW Police confirmed that officers from the South Sydney Police Area Command have opened an investigation into the matter.

Reactions and responses

Insiders told Daily Mail Australia that Nine Network was approached by police on Thursday and asked to cooperate with the investigation. The incident reportedly took place in the hotel apartment Antoine shared with Mirabile, 31, at Sydney’s One Global Resorts Green Square.

Public opinion and calls for action

The revelation has divided fans, with some calling for Antoine to be removed from the experiment, while others argue that emotional abuse should be treated just as seriously as physical violence. Meanwhile, a petition has been launched urging the show’s producers to take more responsibility for participant welfare.
