Martha Kalifatidis Love this for me!

THIS SASSY REALITY TV QUEEN IS KILLING IT ON SCREEN, IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE RIGHT NOW

- Melissa Field

She’s bringing the style and sass to the boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice Australia, but Martha Kalifatidis, who found fame – and partner Michael Brunelli – during the 2019 season of Married at First Sight, believes she’s an acquired taste. “I’m getting mixed reviews from the public,” the 33-year-old social media star, who boasts more than 614,000 followers on Instagram, tells WHO. “I don’t think the public who are watching the show get my humour. Sometimes I can come across as entitled, a little bit bitchy and a bit of a know-it-all. I don’t think people get my dry and sarcastic humour. I can laugh at myself though, you know?”

You mention you’re getting a mixed response from the public, but you must be getting a lot of love, too?

Yes, I am, which is great. I’m also getting so many messages saying, “You’re so funny.” I’m just being me and that’s all I ever am when I’m on screen. In real life, I’m really sassy and straightforward and I’ll, like, say something blunt, but with a smile.

The Veronicas have been very outspoken about what was shown in their edit on Celebrity Apprentice Australia. What’s your take on their comments?

I think for the girls, taking part in the show was different. Their time is precious and their time with their mum [who suffers from a neurological condition] is even more precious. I think the fact they took time away from her to do the show, then felt that the show emphasised drama, rather than why they were there, especially upset them.
