Ines Basic's Awkward Ex Encounter: MAFS Star's Cheating Scandal Resurfaces

0:00It's March 27th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame, on Corey with the story. Ena's basic, the 35-year-old married at first sight star, recently opened up about a super awkward run-in with her ex-stan ball at a shopping mall late last year. It marked the first time she'd seen him in six years since their messy cheating scandal blew up on the show back in 2019. She first spotted him in a makeup store with who she figured was his girlfriend. They locked eyes, froze up not knowing what to do, and she bolted out right away. But heading to her car, she ducked into a clothing shop to try on sunglasses, and there he was again, right behind her in the mirror. Their fling made headlines as the show's biggest cheating drama. Matched with other partners at first, they snuck around with secret meetups, including a hotel sleepover. It all came out at a commitment ceremony, after which Sam ghosted her and they never spoke again. Ena's also reflected on the intense backlash she faced from viewers.

1:02The trolling got so bad, with even racist attacks tied to her refugee background that the network hired private security to escort her to events. She found it embarrassing, but necessary. These days, from a more grounded spot, Ena's calls the whole saga immature and wild to look back on. It shows how reality TV Fallout can pop up out of nowhere, years later.
