Married At First Sight’s Jessika Power says she’s developed agoraphobia after split with boyfriend

Jessika Power has revealed she is suffering from agoraphobia after her split from rapper Filip Poznanovic after a three-month romance.

The Married At First Sight star says she’s become crippled by panic whenever she tries to leave her house. 

In a series of videos shares to Instagram Stories on Saturday, the 29-year-old said: ‘My problem for a long time has been, I’ve been scared to leave the house. It’s like a phobia of leaving the house, the anxiety I get is just insane.’ 

Jessika added that the problem flared up after spending long periods in the house while Filip while he was recovering from a broken leg. 

She confessed: ‘It wasn’t his fault but because of his leg and everything we were constantly at home. And if I was to go anywhere there was questions…

‘It was okay for him to ask questions of he wants to, but it got to it’s not even worth going anywhere if I when get home there’s an interrogation.’ 

The star added that she didn’t want to ‘bash’ her ex, and she did have the problem before they met. 

‘He didn’t do thus to me, this is all in my own head, it wasn’t his fault… I was a little like this before him as well, but it’s gotten worse. To even get myself out of my room sometimes I am too scared,’ she admitted. 

Jessika said that she has been pushing herself to face going out more, and was meeting her father for lunch and going to get her nails done to try and overcome the anxiety. 

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which a person is afraid to leave environments they consider to be safe, for fear of suffering a panic attack.  

The reality star announced her split last week in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, revealing she and Filip had mutually decided to part ways. 

‘We were really good friends before we dated. It’s just been recent that we decided that we are better as friends,’ she said.  ‘I’m sad, but that’s okay.’  

Fil then gave his side of the story to Daily Mail Australia, claiming he was aware that Jessika was friends with several of her exes but ‘didn’t mind it’ and never became jealous during their relationship. 

‘We agreed to end it mutually and not be nasty,’ the Gold Coast-based rapper said, adding: ‘Jessika has a good heart and she’s an amazing friend, but as a partner she’s not what I expected her to be.

‘I love her and I’m still in love with her. But I’m not going to let love blind me, because she’s “famous”.’

Jessika denied speaking to other men during her relationship with Filip, saying: ‘It’s just the easiest narrative to lay on me because of my portrayal on a TV show.’
