Carina has revealed the REAL story behind that dramatic moment

Married At First Sight Australia bride Carina Mirabile has revealed the full story behind the shocking moment that led to her then-hubby Paul Antoine punching a wall.

About halfway through the experiment, things went left for the former power couple, as Paul revealed at a dinner party that he’d lost his temper and punched a wall after Carina admitted to sleeping with a rapper.

The moment came as a shock to the other MAFSAU cast members and viewers alike, as the duo seemed super loved up and on the way to building a successful marriage.

It turns out… a lot was actually left out of that moment.

Here’s everything that happened leading up to the moment that Paul punched the wall on MAFSAU.

The rapper’s name

Carina and Paul told the other cast members that Paul had punched the wall because Carina revealed that she’d slept with a well-known rapper. However, the rapper’s name wasn’t disclosed on the show.

Speaking about the incident on her new podcast with celebrity hairstylist Jacob Mueller, This Is Chaos, Carina claimed that the rapper she was intimate with is US star Quavo – who is best known as the frontman of the now–defunct hip-hop group, Migos.

While we know that the incident took place after a double date with Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels, during which Carina revealed that she’d been intimate with a rapper, we didn’t hear the exact details on MAFS.

Carina has now opened up about the incident, saying: “We were taking turns putting on a song [in an Uber]. I put on a song and it was one with Quavo in it. I said, ‘I slept with him’ as it was funny and stupid, we all laughed about it. Paul laughed as well.”

She continued: “Then when we get back to the apartment and Paul was so furious. He was frustrated, I could see he was upset. He was pacing, he had to go the balcony, I was thinking, ‘Okay this isn’t normal, something is up.’”

Paul’s “swinging past”

Carina thought that her comment would be unimportant given a previous confession from Paul.

According to Carina, Paul revealed that he was into swinging in his previous relationship. Despite her initial reservations, Carina says she put it behind her, so she expected the same grace when it came to her revelation.

She said: “When Paul and I were doing Confessions Week at the start of the experiment, he openly said that he was into swinging with his ex-partner.

“I was like, ‘Are you for real? Does your family know about this?’ Then he told me all about his past dating life and I just let it go.”

She continued: “He was just so upset and dramatic about the whole Quavo situation. I kept apologising, he kept saying he was embarrassed that I openly said that. I kept saying sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn’t feel unsafe, it was just us having a fight.

“I said, ‘But you openly said, on camera, for a national television show, that you had slept with swingers and did swinging with your ex so I didn’t think [me sharing that story] that was a bad thing.’”

A producer tried to intervene

Before Paul punched the wall, Carina says a producer who had overheard their argument, tried to diffuse the situation, asking Paul to go for a walk to cool down. However, this didn’t help and when Paul returned from his walk he was still angry.

“He was angry, pacing and breathing heavily. I just said, ‘Let’s go to bed, let’s go to bed.’ So we’re laying in bed, I could hear him panting and I asked, ‘what’s going on? Are you okay?’ He got up and said ‘No, I’m not okay.’

“He got up and bang, bang. I was like, ‘Holy s**t this has now gotten so much serious.’ I was freaking out, thinking how did it get from that comment to this situation?’
