'MAFS': Michaela slammed as 'delusional' after she calls tantrum a 'panic attack'

Michaela and Zack sat down with Dr Pepper Schwatz to over the events that transpired at the couples' ranch retreat.

For Zack and Michaela, their marriage seems to be deteriorating with every passing minute. From the extremely explosive fights to refusing to live together, the two can't seem to agree on anything. After the couples' ranch retreat where their fight spiraled and caused Zack to leave in the middle of the night, followed by Michaela creating a scene, the two are trying to reach a solution.

Zack sat down with Dr Pepper Schwartz to talk about it, provided he could do so alone. Michaela on the other hand told cameras that she had messaged Zack, but he refused to respond. Dr Pepper Schwartz suggested that she should be a mediator between the two, in order to have a clear conversation. Zack reluctantly agreed to the same, although he seemed unconvinced.

When asked about the incident, Michaela told Dr Pepper that she asked Zack not to leave and that he was the one being stubborn. She refused to take responsibility for the scenes she caused, making it seem like they weren't as severe as it was. Fans were shocked that Michaela seemed to act as nothing had happened. 

"I don’t think Michaela recognizes the magnitude of the things she does. Almost like she blacks out #mafs" tweeted a fan. "Dr. Pepper must not have seen the video. Otherwise, how else is she accepting this revisionist history? #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" added another. "I can’t believe she is saying he has no evidence. She snatched his suitcase away. Pushed him down on the bed. Yelled at him to stay after yelling at him to leave. #mafs" pointed out a fan. "Honestly, I wasn’t convinced something was wrong with Michaela before, but that conversation with Dr. Pepper confirmed it for me. This woman is unreal and dare I say, delusional #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" agreed a fan. 

Zack seemed appalled by Michaela's responses. But to Michaela, she cited her abandonment issues, insisting that for Zack to have left that night was comparable to death to her. She even mentioned that Zack paints her out to be inconsistent, declaring that she had a panic attack that night. Fans did not waste a second to point out the difference between a tantrum and a panic attack. 

"That's not a panic attack that's a tantrum... She using her dad as an excuse this chick is delusional. #MAFS" stated a fan. "I feel for Michaela's past ..but she milking the shit out of this abandonment issue #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" tweeted a fan. "Michaela may have abandonment issues but she knows exactly how to weaponize those emotions & manipulate a situation to her favor. Look how Dr. Pepper coddling her  #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" stated a fan. "Micheala.What You Will Not Do is rewrite history & act like you had a simple panic attack! I'm a Daddy's girl & lost mine 3.5 years ago. Not a day goes by that I dont miss him. But I have NEVER acteed like that! #MAFS" pointed out a fan. "Now I’m not a Dr. and I’ve had panic attacks before. Never seen or heard of a panic attack looking like rage hitting and throwing as you walk #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" added another.
