Megan Marx has slammed Keira Maguire for being 'loose tongued' after she labelled her romance with Tiffany Scanlon a fake.
Tiffany and Megan have both blasted Keira, telling Daily Mail Australia her comments could 'cause a lot of harm' and were 'extremely disappointing', while also refuting the accusation their relationship wasn't genuine.

Megan labelled the Sydney socialite's claims damaging to same sex couples who struggled to have their relationships taken seriously.
'I haven't heard from Keira since we were filming, but I genuinely wish her the best and hope she can see that even comments made whilst drunk and loose-tongued can also cause a lot of harm,' Megan said of the comments made while Keira was out at an event and understood to have been drinking.
'Not just to my relationship, but to a community of women who are straight-presenting in image (don't meet societies stereotypical standard "look" of same-sex-attracted), and are struggling with their sexuality,' the health promotions officer added.

Tiffany said she hoped that what Keira had said was only a misunderstanding, and wished she had approached her privately before airing her doubts publicly.
'It is extremely disappointing to hear that a woman who has previously stated that women should be respectful to each other would make such remarks,' Tiffany said.
' ... My mother always taught me that if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

'Megan and I are a couple (shock horror, I know!) and quite frankly I am sick of having to defend myself to ignorant, narrow minded people, nor should I have to! Enough already!'
Megan also quipped that it was 'nice she has time to talk about us' despite not speaking to the couple since filming ended.
