Popular TV star says what EVERYONE thinks about The Block stars Brad and Mimi’s on-set ‘dating scandal’

Meshel Laurie has weighed in on The Block stars Brad Baker and Mimi Belperio’s shocking ‘dating door’ scandal.

The 51-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Monday night to react to explosive scenes from the makeover show, in which he admitted to ‘flirting’ with Brad’s co-star Mimi.

Brad’s wife Kylie abruptly left the production after hearing her husband made ‘inappropriate’ comments towards Mimi, who was married to contestant Kristian.

Now the former star of The Project Meshel has voiced what everyone is thinking amid the scandal as she shares her sympathy for Brad’s devastated wife Kylie.

She admitted she wasn’t a fan of the mother-of-four throughout the series, but now feels like a ‘total bitch’ for prejudging her without knowing the full story.

‘If there’s one thing I’ve learned about relationships, it’s that no one really knows what’s going on except the people involved,’ she shared in a candid Instagram post.

‘I’ve hated this poor woman for weeks now and wonder how her husband can stand her.

‘I feel like such a bitch now. Poor woman. I hope they find peace and happiness with their babies.’

Scores of fans took to the comments section to agree with Kylie’s sentiments as she shared their heartfelt messages of support.

One wrote: ‘I felt the exact same! You never know what’s going on or what’s going on. Peace be upon him.’

Another said: ‘I feel the same Meshel; I was humiliated by my cheating ex and it happened without the whole of Australia watching. No wonder he’s so upset and hurt.’

A third commented: ‘I totally agree. This doesn’t need to be published. “This is terrible.”

A fourth wrote: ‘Pretty surprised – didn’t see this coming,’ while another added: ‘I’m guilty of thinking the same thing.’

In scenes on Monday, Brad admitted making ‘inappropriate’ comments towards Mimi over a drink at home while his sleeping wife Kylie was within earshot.

Brad later said he believed his marriage was ‘over’ and that Kylie was ‘single-handedly destroying my family’ with her actions after she abruptly quit production.

A devastated Kylie appeared to have jetted off to Cairns to be with her and Brad’s four children after revealing her husband had told Mimi he would ‘follow OnlyFans’.

Despite the drama that has left their marriage ‘in shambles’, Daily Mail Australia understands Brad and Kylie are still together and working on their relationship.

‘Kylie and Brad have been working on their marriage for months,’ a TV insider said.

‘The block shoot shattered their relationship and they were preparing themselves for Australia to see what everyone was whispering about.’

A friend of Kylie’s continued: “A lot of water has flown under the bridge and Kylie has chosen to stand by her man.”

‘Brad and Kylie are together and that’s all Australia needs to know.’

Mimi and Kristian, who are still together, hinted that Kylie and Brad were working on something when they broke their silence on Channel Nine’s Upfronts on Thursday.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the newlyweds insisted there was no tension between them and Kylie and Brad, adding that they had seen the couple a week ago and had dropped hints about their relationship status.

‘There is no tension. We saw them last week and I talked to him. Yes. But nothing happens,’ Mimi shared.

The drama began when Mimi and Brad chatted over drinks at Kylie’s house while she slept within earshot, and Brad admitted that he had crossed the line with his words.

‘I made some inappropriate comments. “I was flirting with Mimi… Kylie overheard them and was understandably quite upset,” he later explained.

Later, during a phone call with her mother, Kylie explained exactly what happened during the shock conversation between her husband and Mimi.

‘Flirting, plus really inappropriate talking. How many damn chances have I given him? ‘Over and over again,’ he told his mother.

Kylie later revealed one of the devastating comments her husband made while dating.

‘Oh, you know I’ll follow your OnlyFans,’ the electrician and plumber allegedly told Mimi, within earshot of his ‘napping’ wife.

She also claimed that Brad “complained” about her during the conversation and that this had “happened before.”

Kylie left the show immediately, with host Scott announcing she was leaving the construction site the next morning and has not been seen since.

‘We found his car, we blocked his phone, we found all the hi-vis… we did everything we could to locate him and he hasn’t been seen,’ he said.

Kylie left her vehicle at 2.34pm that day, taking only her bag, and Brad speculated that Kylie had returned to Cairns to be with her children.

A message recorded on Kylie’s phone, provided by Block, appeared to support her theory as she admitted that her marriage was ‘broken’.

‘Okay then I say goodbye. I can’t go on national television while my marriage is falling apart. “So I’m going home and I can’t say I’ll be back,” she announced through tears in her message.

You can discuss the details with Brad, but unfortunately I can’t do that anymore. ‘Thank you for the opportunity and I’m sorry I can’t stay until the end, I’m not strong enough anymore.’

Speaking to producers later, Brad admitted that he believed his marriage was ‘over’.

‘I feel ashamed and sad that other people have to live with my choices. He’s the last person I want to hurt; to him, my children or my family. But I still managed to do it. It is not possible to eliminate or improve this situation. “It’s over,” Brad said.

‘I can say that I single-handedly destroyed my family.’

Breaking their silence about the scandal, Mimi and her husband Kristian (both pictured) told Daily Mail Australia that the flirtation took place but they had left the infidelity behind them.

When asked about the scandal involving his wife, Kristian said, “Our relationship is stronger than ever.”

‘The thing about the show is that everything we’ve done has happened in the past. We’ve learned from everything we’ve been through and we’re better for it,’ Mimi added.

‘So when this happens, it happened in the past. Yes. “It doesn’t really bother me.”

“Coming off The Block had to be, ‘Okay, let’s reflect on our experiences and what we learned from it,’” Mimi added.
