MAFS’ Paul reveals he got professional help outside the experiment after punching wall

Paul has revealed that he got professional help after punching a wall out of frustration in his MAFS Australia apartment.

He kicked off after Carina revealed she had slept with a rapper before the experiment, and the incident led to a full police investigation.

Speaking to 9Entertainement after the show, the groom revealed that he saw a professional therapist about his anger.

“I completely lost control that day. It’s obviously, of course, unacceptable behavior. It’s not something you do, that’s not how you deal with emotions and it’s not how I deal with my emotions,” he said.

“I had to talk to someone on the outside, a professional, to actually talk about it and find some sort of peace as I was so mad and angry at myself for reacting that way.”

“It was also sending the wrong message to Carina. I didn’t want her to feel unsafe. That’s the last thing that I would want.”

Paul was appalled by his own behaviour, saying to Carina in tears: “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I can’t stop thinking about it. I should have never reacted this way. I promise you that’s never going to happen again.”

On the show, we saw the groom explained why he punched the wall, saying he was angry and upset about the situation in the taxi and felt “uncomfortable and disrespected”.

“I could hear you trying to apologise and I was getting worked up because it was like ‘I’m sorry but’. I just couldn’t really take your apology seriously because you’re saying you’re sorry but then you’re adding a ‘But’,” he said.

The 31-year-old said Carina wouldn’t give him the space he needed, so he got annoyed and punched the wall out of frustration. However, Carina had a different story, claiming she never stopped him from leaving the apartment.

“I 100% overreacted last night and I am genuinely so sorry for that. I’m just seriously hating myself for what I’ve done,” Paul added.
