A contestant on MAFS Australia has said she is considering suing for being portrayed as a villain on the reality TV show after being inspired by a recent court ruling in favour of a contestant on a similar reality style TV show.
Speaking to radio station Hit 105 the ex-contestant Davina Rankin said she was disgruntled with broadcaster Channel Nine and the production company Endemol Shine Australia after being show in a negative light on the show last year.
"I would [sue] now that I know you can," she said. "To be honest, when it was all going down, I actually had a few friends that are lawyers and I got them to look over my contract and these contracts are so hectic, you're pretty much handing over your life. They own you."
In publicity and marketing material for the show Rankin was described as 'TV's biggest villain', but due to the extensive nature of the contract she signed to appear on the show she admitted winning a dime could be difficult.
"It's really had to try and get anything out of it because they've kind of covered their butt in every way," she said.
