MAFS: Harrison Boon denies texting model after introducing his girlfriend to his son

MAFS star Harrison Boon has brushed off claims he slid into a model’s Instagram DMs just a day after he was pictured introducing his new girlfriend to his young son.

Bailey Scarlett, who is from New Zealand but now lives in Bali, posted a screenshot on Sunday of Harrison attempting to message her via his official MAFS account.

The screenshot was a blank screen with the text ‘Accept message request from harrison_boon_?’ and the options to block, delete or accept.

There were no actual messages visible, either because Harrison had unsent them or because of an Instagram security setting.

Bailey, a 25-year-old single mother and OnlyFans star, captioned her post, ‘Gross no.’

While it’s unclear when the self-proclaimed ‘villain’ tried to contact Bailey, the screenshot was taken when he had 27,000 followers. He now has 28,300 followers.

This means it is likely she had the screenshot saved in her phone for a while, possibly up to a week, before deciding to post it on Instagram.

When contacted on Monday, Harrison suggested Bailey was just using him to boost her OnlyFans subscribers.

‘Maybe her OnlyFans has dipped?’ he said, shrugging off the leaked screenshot.

The drama comes after Harrison introduced his three-year-old son August to his new girlfriend Gina on Saturday while out to lunch with his mother Noni.

Noni shared several posts on Instagram of the family day out, having seemingly given Gina the tick of approval.

Harrison and Gina debuted their relationship at a ‘Freedom Day’ party at Coogee Pavilion on Wednesday, where they celebrated being able to go public with their romance after his exit from MAFS aired on TV.

Bailey is no stranger to the spotlight, having first made headlines in 2015 when she alleged her drink was spiked at a party in Melbourne hosted by Justin Bieber.

She welcomed son Riley in April 2018 and has been raising him as a single mother.

One of Australia’s most successful OnlyFans performers, she left Melbourne after the Covid pandemic now lives a charmed life in Bali, Indonesia.

Harrison has been at the centre of drama on MAFS so far this season, and things are only set to get more explosive at next week’s reunion event.

The master gaslighter rocks up with receipts in the form of damning texts that he says will expose his ex-wife Bronte Schofield as a fraud.

He is clearly still nursing a bruised ego after Bronte walked out on him at the last dinner party following weeks of ups and (mostly) downs.

In a trailer released on Sunday, Bronte puts on a confident façade in front of the other participants but admits her husband is out for revenge.

‘Everyone is on the chopping block tonight,’ warns Harrison, before Bronte says in a voice-over, ‘Harrison has said that he has dirt on me.’

It then cuts to Harrison holding up a print-out of leaked text messages, which have been censored for the promo.

The builder smugly asks, ‘Is that in frame?’

While it’s unclear what the texts are about, they could relate to the leaked voice notes scandal that emerged just days after Harrison and Bronte’s wedding aired in February.

The couple’s big day was overshadowed by news, delivered by one of Bronte’s wedding guests, that Harrison had a ‘secret girlfriend’ waiting for him on the outside.

However, it later emerged the guest had already told Bronte about the other woman days earlier, and together they planned how the scandal would play out on TV.

Their scheme was laid bare in a series of texts and voice notes in which Bronte spoke openly of how she planned to leverage the drama to her advantage.

Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7:30pm on Channel Nine and 9Now
