The Block 2024’s Mimi has been caught up in what could be considered the biggest scandal in the history of the show.
During the Backyard Week, Mimi and her co-star Brad (who’s married to Kylie) spent one of the nights on the show drinking wine while finishing their areas. As far as fans were informed during the season, Brad flirted with Mimi, which led Kylie to storm off and quit the show altogether.
The scandalous happenings have raised questions from viewers on social media, with many of them criticising Mimi, who’s married to Kristian, for crossing a line in both her, and Brad and Kylie’s relationship.
While Mimi remained tight-lipped after the first part of the scandal aired during the October 28 episode, she’s now seemingly touched on the impact the backlash has caused her.
What did Mimi say about the The Block cheating scandal?
Mimi took to Instagram and published a long post airing her feelings. While she didn’t directly touch on the love-triangle scandal, she did say that everyone makes “mistakes”.
“I think that it’s important to remind ourselves, that not one single person in this world is perfect and that we all make mistakes. It is something incredibly special about humans and it’s what makes us all interesting and unique individuals,” she began.
“But with these mistakes, gives each of us an opportunity to decide whether or not we want to learn from them or make them again.
“To be honest, there’s no wrong or right answer, but choosing to learn from them is challenging, uncomfortable and will allow you to evolve and transform into a better version of yourself.”
Mimi also urged fans to be kind when writing comments about The Block contestants online.
“I’ll admit, as much as I try to avoid hurtful and hateful comments, I’ll read a few and it upsets me but I guess that’s the aim of the author. I found myself deleting all of the bad comments because I didn’t want anyone, including myself, to see them.
“But what I’ve come to realise is that removing them doesn’t show a true representation of the world that we live in. By keeping all of the positive and negative comments, it shows that nobody is perfect, everybody makes mistakes and we all say things driven by emotion.”
Whether Mimi and Brad’s alleged actions will affect the sale of their houses is yet to be seen.
However, let’s not forget that the houses renovated by the ‘villains’ on The Block 2023 sold for the lowest two amounts for the season. Food for thought.
The Block finale will air on Sunday, November 10 at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
