Nine Network have been asked to cooperate with NSW Police as they conduct an official investigation into Married At First Sight. 

The department revealed on Friday the investigation was launched after Paul Antoine punched a hole in a wall during a fight with bride Carina Mirabile, reported Sky News.

The incident happened off-camera, and was addressed during Wednesday night’s episode, with Antoine, 31, shocking viewers when he confessed to the violent act. 

‘The matter has been referred to officers from South Sydney Police Area Command, who have commenced an investigation,’ a NSW Police spokesperson said.

‘As the investigation is current, police will not be making any further comment in relation to the matter.’

An insider at the apartment had previously revealed Channel Nine were approached by police and asked to cooperate on Thursday.

They added the State Police were already monitoring the show, but a request for action was escalated to the Deputy Commissioner of NSW after Antoine’s outburst. 

A source at Nine also said: ‘Footage is likely to be seized and participants will be approached to ᴀssist the investigation.’

Daily Mail Australia revealed Antoine punched a hole in the wall of the H๏τel apartment he shared with Mirabile, 31, at Sydney’s One Global Resorts Green Square.

The rage-induced outburst occurred during an argument the pair had after Mirabile revealed to Antoine she had previously slept with rapper Quavo.

Mirabile repeatedly apologised, trying to reᴀssure Antoine it was just a fling, but the revelation had already sent him over the edge.

Channel Nine told Daily Mail Australia they are providing support to the couple.

‘Nine and Endemol Shine Australia has treated this matter extremely seriously,’ they said in a statement.

‘Our first priority at all times has been the wellbeing and safety of the participants and after extensive consultation with Carina, she wanted to remain in the experiment with Paul. We continue to provide support for Carina and Paul.’

Viewers have been left divided on the issue.

Some MAFS fans are calling for Antoine to be removed from the experiment, or for the series to be taken off air.

Some are enraged physical abuse is being ‘taken more seriously’ than emotional abuse, and calling for groom Adrian Araouzou to also be removed from the show.

And some are questioning why Domenica Calarco did not face the same consequences when she smashed a wine glᴀss in 2022.

Daily Mail Australia understands during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony the experts will ask Mirabile to decide if her husband Antoine is kicked off the show.

Josh Fox, who runs the MAFS Funny Instagram account and podcast, launched a peтιтion on Wednesday calling for the show’s producers to reᴀssess how they look after participants.

‘The producers are almost wiping their hands of that decision and going “Carina, you were the victim, are you OK?’ Fox said.

‘That is f**ked. And I personally think it’s time we start naming and shaming the producers.’

The peтιтion has 1200 signatures and counting.
