Married At First Sight star Domenica Calarco makes bombshell claims her ex-best friend Ella Ding 'stole' from her - after slamming her sponsored pregnancy post
Domenica Calarco has taken another savage swipe at her ex-best friend Ella Ding, accusing the Married At First Sight star of stealing from her.
The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star, 32, also slammed her former podcast co-host, 31, last week for making a sponsored pregnancy announcement.
But now it seems their online feud has gone to another level as Domenica alleged Ella and her brother 'stole' something from the former reality TV star.
Domenica made the serious accusation—which is unproven—in the comments section of an article about Ella defending herself against recent backlash.
The podcaster wrote: 'Nah just pissed cos she needs MORE money after her and her brother stole from me. It's okay, the story is coming.'

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Ella and Domenica for further comment on the matter.
It comes after Domenica called out her former best friend Ella for announcing her pregnancy with a sponsored post.
Ella took to Instagram last Tuesday morning to announce the exciting news alongside a series of photos including a positive Clearblue pregnancy test.
'Somewhere between healing and hustling, the next chapter quietly chose us,' she captioned her post.
'Baby Palermo you've already made our story sweeter & given us the best news of 2025 yet #ad #ClearblueConfirmed.'
The announcement was reposted by the @influencer.updates.au Instagram page.
Domenica took to the comments section to slam Ella for 'monetising her pregnancy'.
'Even has to monetise her pregnancy announcement. Some people will never change. Wow,' she wrote.
Ella's pregnancy was announced two months after Domenica revealed she was expecting her first child.
In March, Domenica posted a series of clips showing her positive pregnancy test, her ultrasound and telling her friends and family.
She captioned the sweet post: 'Been a little MIA working on my greatest project yet... Baby.'
She added: 'Due September 2025 #pregnancyannouncement #pregnancy #pregnant.'
Days after her announcement, Domenica exclusively confirmed to Daily Mail Australia she will be raising her child as a single mum, as she addressed the breakup rumours with Bondi skater Jarod Bogunovich.
Domenica and Ella pulled the plug on their podcast Sit With Us in August 2024, and rumours have swirled it was due to an interpersonal conflict.
On a recent episode of Domenica's new podcast Mad Woman, she explained where the rift with Ella really began.
'The breakdown of our friendship really started when the backlash from Sit With Us happened,' she began, referring to the controversial conversation the podcasters had with MAFS 2024 'villain' Jack Dunkley.
The controversy erupted after Domenica and Ella faced criticism for their interview with Jack, who previously sparked outrage by telling co-star Jonathan McCullough to 'muzzle' his wife Lauren Dunn during a dinner party.
The interview prompted a heated response from fellow media personality Abbie Chatfield, further intensifying the scrutiny on the podcast hosts at the time.
Domenica said she and Ella 'had very differing opinions and views on the way to handle the situation. For me, I wanted to face it head on, I didn't want to bury my head in the sand.'
At the time, Domenica's social media posts were inundated with comments from fans asking her to address the podcast controversy.
While Domenica chose not to provide a statement during this period, she did assure several fans she and Ella would be responding to the backlash 'very soon'.
Domenica and Ella have since unfollowed each other on Instagram, marking the end of their nearly four-year friendship.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness reach agreement on how to split their lavish multimillion dollar property portfolio following divorce filing: See who gets what
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have reached an agreement to divide their jaw-dropping US$387million (AU$601m) fortune - including a sprawling international property empire - as their divorce is finalised. At the centre of the settlement are several luxury properties across the United States, England and Australia - including multimillion-dollar penthouses, a Hamptons estate and a Bondi Beach retreat. Sources close to the pair confirmed the divorce is 'uncontested' and all that is required is a judge's sign-off following lengthy negotiations over money and assets. Among the properties now split is a luxurious three-storey condo in New York City 's Chelsea neighbourhood, purchased by the couple in 2008 for US$21 million (AU$32.67m). The five-bedroom home was listed for US$38.9 million (AU$60.48m) in 2022 after they acquired a sleek London penthouse for US$21.25 million (AU$33m). From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Jackman has retained the New York property - which is now believed to be home to both the X-Men star and his new girlfriend, Broadway actress Sutton Foster. The actor is also expected to take ownership of their lavish Bondi home. It comes after Deborra officially filed for divorce from Jackman, nearly two years after they announced their shock split. exclusively revealed that Deborra filed the complaint in New York on May 23 and that per the filings, everything has been ironed out behind the scenes. Other filings submitted by her lawyer include a notice concerning continuation of health care coverage, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form (used to report child support orders to the state's registry), the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and certificate of dissolution. All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment. Deborra, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a 'handsome spousal support payment,' according to an insider, who said there will be no 'drama' as they terminate their 27-year marriage. 'A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source told 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure. 'There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.' A separate source said the divorce is 'non contested,' meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing. 'They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,' they said. 'They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.' They added that Jackman, who is dating Foster and was seen walking hand-in-hand with her days before the filing, is 'looking forward to the future and not looking back.' In a statement sent to Deborra-Lee said, 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' Back in January, exclusively reported that the estranged spouses had yet to file as their decision to dismiss a prenup was proving to be a point of contention. Insiders at the time claimed that their split could get 'messy ' as they were struggling to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. 'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup,' an insider close to Jackman said. 'When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has.' The pair met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school. They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19. Since tying the knot, Jackman has amassed an eye watering fortune, estimated to be hundreds of millions, thanks to his turn as Wolverine in Marvel's blockbuster comic book franchise.

Call for independent inquiry into NT death in custody; surprise One Nation Senate win; and a giant teddy
Good afternoon. An independent investigator must be appointed to investigate the death of a Warlpiri man in Northern Territory police custody, his family says, and the footage leading up to his death released. The 24-year-old man with disabilities from Yuendumu died on Tuesday afternoon after police restrained him in an Alice Springs supermarket. A letter sent to the acting NT police commissioner on behalf of the man's grandfather, Warlpiri elder Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves, also asked police to 'immediately cease making public statements or media briefings that speculate on the cause of death or denigrate the character of the deceased'. The man's death came just days before the expected coronial inquest findings into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, also from Yuendumu, who was shot and killed by police officer Zachary Rolfe. The release of the findings is planned for 10 June, but may be delayed because of this latest death.

How you are being forced to pay for Australia's mega population surge four times a year
Those living in Australia's most populous city can expect a steep increase in their water bills as utilities struggle to keep up with immigration-fuelled population growth. Sydney Water had planned to increase its customers' bills by 18 per cent from October 1, under its 2025 to 2030 plan. While the application for the hefty rate rise was blocked by the state's Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART), residents will still be slapped with a six per cent increase - more than double the 2.4 per cent inflation rate. The utility pointed to huge population growth as justification for the increase, which equates to about $73 for a typical bill. A Sydney Water board meeting last year warned of the strain on infrastructure in the city's outer suburbs, which house a higher proportion of new migrants. 'The biggest drivers behind Sydney Water's planned investments are growth and renewing existing infrastructure,' the meeting minutes said. 'Most of this investment will support growth in both new and established areas – especially in western Sydney, where development is booming and where population growth is pushing existing water and wastewater systems to their limits.' To cope with the population surge, Sydney Water expected the average bill to rise by $226 during the next financial year, and by $111 every year until 2029-30. 'We know this may cause payment difficulties for some of our customers. We have programs in place to assist them,' the provider said. 'We'll deliver services to 300,000 new homes to support the NSW government's growth ambitions, and our growing population and cities.' Relief is unlikely in the coming five years, with IPART proposing a 4.6 per cent annual increase in Sydney Water bills each year, subject to community feedback. This would see homeowners and renters pay an average of $1,293 a year in 2025-26 rising to $1,527 in 2029-30, before inflation is even factored in. Like Sydney Water, IPART chair Carmel Donnelly acknowledged increases in water bills were necessary to fund infrastructure upgrades amid strong population growth. 'We have set draft prices that are lower than Sydney Water's proposed prices,' she said. 'However, some increase is necessary to allow Sydney Water's services and infrastructure to keep pace with Sydney's growth and deliver safe, reliable services that meet community expectations.' Overseas migrants are accounting for more than 80 per cent of the population growth in Sydney and Melbourne - putting pressure on transport and water infrastructure. Immigration levels were still high in the year to March with 437,440 people moving to Australia on a net permanent and long-term basis, with this net figure factoring in departures including skilled migrants and international students. In Sydney, Australia's most populated big city, 120,886 overseas migrants moved in during the last financial year - making up 81 per cent of the net population increase factoring in births and those who moved interstate. In Melbourne, 121,240 migrants moved in during the same period, making up 80.7 per cent of the population growth. Both cities are overcrowded with 41,086 Sydney residents leaving for another part of Australia over the year to escape the congestion and unaffordable housing. Despite that exodus, Sydney's population is still increasing by two per cent a year in a city that is already home to 5.5million people. Building activity is also failing to keep pace with Anthony Albanese's plan to build 1.2million homes over five years, or an average of 240,000 a year. But in the year to April, just 182,034 new homes were approved, new Australian Bureau of Statistics data released on Friday revealed. Morgan Begg, the director of research at the Institute of Public Affairs think tank, said new housing supply was likely to fall further behind population growth. 'With housing approvals so low, Australia is being set up for a disaster, as in the last three years to June 2025, net migration is on track to be 1.3million, meaning the gap between demand and supply is drifting further apart,' he said.
