Married At First Sight Australia groom Danny Hewitt has come under fire after previously unseen footage emerged of him unleashing a vicious tirade against his now ex-wife Bec Zacharia. The 34-year-old British reality star was caught on camera during a production break, insulting his then-bride's appearance and behavior in what fans have described as 'revolting' scenes.
Unseen Rant Exposed
The character assassination was revealed on the weekly streaming show MAFS: After The Dinner Party, where raw and unfiltered analysis of the brides and grooms is served up. The footage captures Danny complaining to a producer while crew members adjusted cameras and sound equipment, clearly unaware that the conversation would ever be broadcast.
Danny fumed: 'You're telling me that's the best you could bring me? You ought to be ashamed of yourself, MAFS dude.' He continued: 'I can f**king walk in Coles and get a better bird than that, f**k me. I gave up my life to be here, I've got a f**king cushy little life. I gave up my life, and I could roll up to Coles right now, aisle four, and there's a bird in there — she'll be better than Bec. Can't be no worse, it's impossible.'
Spitting out insult after insult towards his unsuspecting wife, he declared: 'F**k me. S**t, so s**t. To the execs watching this, you're f**king shit at your job. Bring me better women.' Seeming to reference a disagreement the pair had earlier that day, he concluded: 'You can do that if you're a 15 out of 10, and she's not. F**king annoying.'
Bec's Heartbreaking Reaction
Bec was given a warning before watching the footage alongside co-star Rachel Gilmore for support. A heartbroken Bec revealed that Danny had told her he was 'falling in love with her' the exact same day the cruel comments were made. After watching the clip, she burst into tears, processing her former husband's shocking words and actions now exposed to the public.
Bec said: 'This is what I say he's come on here for fame guys. I'm sorry, because if that's how you feel about me, why did you sit there for three months straight? That afternoon, as soon as those cameras left, that's when he told me he was falling in love with me.'
Earlier, Danny had blindsided his besotted bride at Final Vows, dumping her unexpectedly during his speech and leaving her devastated in tears. Now, this new footage has hurt her once more.
Apology and Aftermath
The British star has since posted a public apology on social media, telling his ex-wife he was 'sorry from the bottom of his heart' and felt 'so ashamed of himself' for the way he acted. Despite the apology, Bec has decided to move on, with recent rumours claiming she is dating British reality TV star and male escort Marcus Rich.
