Fevola – who appears on the show alongside his 18-year-old daughter Leni – had the TikTokers on his Melbourne Breakfast radio show, The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, where the highly publicised alleged incident was brought up.
“I know this is a pretty tough topic, and some stuff went on earlier in the show. I know you guys can’t really speak about it, but I was there,” he said to the lads.
“I witnessed what one particular contestant did to you boys, and he said it to me and said it to you previously. I just want to say to you boys that I’m sorry for what happened to you. I wasn’t privy to it [earlier on], and you guys were getting homophobic slurs thrown your way…” he continued to allege.
“It’s just not on. I confronted the person, and then whatever happened, happened after that… but I went back to my room, and I was rattled. I don’t get rattled; it’s very hard [to rattle me],” he added.
He went on to claim that he threatened to quit the show if the Middleton Brothers were not ejected over their behaviour.
“I was shaking, and Leni was like, ‘What’s wrong, Dad?’ I said, ‘This is what’s happening; we’re leaving the show tomorrow if that person is still on the show, we’re done’. So, we said the same thing to the producers,” he added.
“I went to their room to check on them because I was shaken, and for you guys to experience what you did… I was worried about you. There were like 400 people in there: production, producers, security. I think these were the words you said: ‘This is what happens to me every day’. For you to have to go through that is crap.
“I apologise that you had to go through that. I’m glad that I met you guys and have become really good mates with you, because you boys are beautiful. You did nothing wrong. You go on [the show] to have fun, you don’t expect to go on there and be berated. It wasn’t fun. It made the experience for those couple of days really tough.”
Scott, one half of the viral duo, then thanked Brendan for helping them out on the night.
“I think the biggest thing to say here is that we have to thank you so much. Without you, we have no idea where that could have gone,” he said.
He went on to allege that “there were multiple incidents, over six times, and it kept happening”.
“You did what so many people just don’t do today, which is stand up for what they know is right,” Scott said.
“Luke and I are very, very grateful for you being there because there weren’t many people around. You saved the day. You are a huge important person in our life now because you showed up when so many people chose to turn a blind eye. We’re very grateful for you.”
Following reports of the incident back in April, a 10 spokesperson confirmed that a team had been disqualified from the competition after a “breach of the production’s code of conduct”, adding that the incident occurred “on a day off from production”.
“Network 10 takes the health, safety and well-being of all contestants seriously,” the statement read. “Following a breach of the production’s code of conduct by one contestant, on a day off during production, a team from The Amazing Race Australia was disqualified and swiftly sent home.”
Speaking exclusively to PEDESTRIAN.TV, Ant Middleton said: “Unfortunately I’m not at liberty to any information as I had absolutely nothing to do with this situation and due to confidentiality, they’re not allowed to tell me anything”. Shortly after, an insider claimed that the SAS Australia star’s career has been greatly impacted by the alleged incident.
As for Luke and Sassy Scott, they previously broke their silence in an interview, revealing what allegedly occurred on the night that led to the brothers’ disqualification.
