MAFS’ Stacey Hampton unleashes on ex Michael Goonan for ‘not sticking up for her’ when she was accused of cheating at the reunion dinner party
Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton has slammed her ex-‘husband’, Michael Goonan, for not defending her at Tuesday night’s reunion dinner party.
The 26-year-old law graduate told 9Now Michael already knew about rumours she’d cheated with Mikey Pembroke but didn’t stand by her when they were aired publicly.
‘He still sat there and didn’t stick up for me and he decided, “You know what, I don’t believe you.” It is what it is,’ Stacey said.

Stacey said she was ‘very, very surprised’ by how Michael reacted to the allegations because she’d already warned him they might come up.
‘We were so close. I introduced him to my children. I have been nothing but loyal,’ she added.
Meanwhile, Michael said he decided not to ‘bury’ Stacey in front of the other couples because he was being considerate of her children’s feelings.

Stacey has two sons from a previous relationship, Kosta and Kruz.
‘Even when you are wronged in life, you weigh up the damage you can cause someone and their children,’ he told his Instagram followers.
‘No child needs to view their mum in a bad light. I had a split decision to bury her or let her hold her grace.’

Stacey’s one-night stand with Mikey was exposed at Tuesday’s reunion dinner party.
The aspiring lawyer repeatedly denied the allegations, even after Mikey produced corroborative text messages that proved they’d spent the night together.
Aleks Markovic and Ivan Sarakula also claimed Mikey’s clothes had been dropped off at their apartment in a Mecca Cosmetics bag after the alleged incident.

A shell-shocked Michael said afterwards: ‘I’ll forgive Stacey if it happened. However, I won’t forgive her if she’s lying about it. That’s definitely crossing the line with me.’
The reunion was filmed in mid-January and, more than two months later, Stacey continues to deny she ever slept with Mikey.
