A plastic children’s toy has sparked a war amongst the Married At First Sight cast.
Stacey Hampton lashed out at her ex-‘husband’, Michael Goonan, and his new girlfriend, KC Osborne, on Monday after the pair uploaded a TikTok video in which they played with her son’s Nerf gun.
The 26-year-old law graduate said she had left the toy at Michael’s house after their split in January and wanted him to return it.

In a since-deleted Instagram Story, Stacey said she was unhappy that Michael and KC had her son’s Nerf gun, and she wanted it back.
She then accused KC of imitating her fashion sense by wearing the same thigh-high Stuart Weitzman boots that she owns.
Bizarrely, she also said the former Pussycat Dolls backup dancer was copying her by staying at her preferred hotel in Melbourne, Crown Towers.

Frustrated by Stacey’s claims, KC responded with her own Instagram Story rant, saying she did not know to whom the toy belonged.
She also denied she was copying her by wearing Stuart Weitzman boots and staying at Crown Towers.
‘I’m really, really over explaining myself but again, here I am. Firstly, apologies that it was her son’s Nerf gun that we used in the video,’ said KC, who had just assumed the toy belonged to Michael’s two-year-old son, Connor.

As for the designer boots, she posted a photo of herself wearing them in 2018 as proof she’d owned her pair for two years.
KC also clarified she had stayed at Crown Towers, where Stacey stays during her fortnightly business trips to Melbourne, for strictly work purposes.
‘Stop thinking everything is about you, because it’s not. I wished you well, I’ve never come out and said anything nasty about you. If you could just leave me alone, that’d be really good,’ she concluded.
Who wore it better? KC also denied copying Stacey by wearing Stuart Weitzman boots, saying she had owned her pair for years. Pictured left: KC in the boots in 2018, and right: Stacey wearing them in 2020
KC also shared a screenshot of a private message Stacey had allegedly sent somebody comparing the 2018 picture of KC wearing the boots to a photo you’d see on ‘an escort page’.
‘Mean girl much? Calling her out for the mean girl she is! Who puts women down like this?’ KC wrote, adding the hashtag #MeanGirlStaceyHampton.
Stacey responded with yet another post to her Instagram Story, which read: ‘Do not claim to be the bigger person then use a hashtag to put somebody down.
‘I’ve tried to contact her yet she uses social media to call me out. Contact me please.’

Michael later shared his side of the story, which included background information about the Nerf gun that supposedly belonged to Stacey’s son.
‘I’m getting a lot of messages here to return a Nerf gun to Stacey. To set the record straight, I purchased that Nerf gun in a pack of five,’ he said.
‘I will return the Nerf gun – except I refuse to pay postage. I ain’t sending it express.’
Michael had met Stacey’s two sons, Kosta and Kruz, weeks before their relationship ended in January – something Stacey now regrets.
