Skye Wheatley has come out swinging after she clashed with Cyrell Paule at a star-studded dinner party on the Gold Coast on Tuesday.
Another diner had secretly recorded the pair arguing after Wheatley asked Paule about rumours her relationship with boyfriend Eden Dally was fake, and Paule later shared the video on Instagram.
Wheatley, 28, responded to the viral footage on Wednesday, posting a series of Instagram Stories offering her account of what really happened.
She said she initially didn’t want to address the row because she doesn’t like having ‘negativity’ on her page, but couldn’t hold her tongue any longer.

The showdown had taken place at the glitzy Palazzo Versace hotel on Tuesday night, with Paule losing her temper when Wheatley questioned whether her three-year relationship with Love Island alum Dally was genuine.
The person sitting next to Paule secretly recorded Wheatley ranting as they dined with other influencers and TV personalities.
‘Don’t be a smart a**e b***h. I will put you in your place,’ she warned Wheatley in the footage, which she shared on Instagram.

Wheatley said in her now-deleted Stories on Wednesday that she never meant to offend anyone and just wanted to ask Paule a simple question.
‘There was no malicious intent involved,’ she stressed.
Wheatley said she did not appreciate being branded a ‘bully’ by Paule because she is ‘so against bullying’.
‘I’m like a puppy,’ she added, before claiming that Paule was the one threatening her.

She acknowledged her question had ‘triggered’ Paule, but said her angry response at the dinner party was not justified.
‘I’m so open and honest as I put my life on here so if anyone asked something about Lachy and I, I’d just answer it,’ Wheatley said, referring to her partner Lachlan Waugh.
Wheatley said she was shocked by how the incident snowballed and joked that she should ‘just take out my voice box’ to avoid offending anyone ever again.
In the video of Tuesday’s catfight, Wheatley bluntly asked if Paule’s romance with Dally was ‘fake’ – despite the fact they share a son together.
‘How did you guys meet?’ the tipsy influencer began.
‘Jules’ birthday [party],’ Paule dryly responded, referring to her MAFS co-star Jules Robinson, who was also in attendance.

‘That’s so cute. So was he friends with Cam [Merchant, Robinson’s husband]? I saw an article that said you guys had a fake relationship or something,’ Wheatley said.
‘Aww, sorry! But like, if you know the truth babe, who cares! I wanted to know who said that.’
An angry Paule told Wheatley her questions were inappropriate.
‘Do I sit there and say, “Are your lips real?” No, that’s an inappropriate question. I don’t ask that. Don’t be a smart a**e b***h. I will put you in your place… Eat your food or I’ll shove your face in it. Shut up,’ Paule snapped.
The mother of one later criticised Wheatley in a series of posts on Instagram Stories, calling her a ‘fake b***h’ and a ‘bully’.
‘Tonight… I experienced nothing but female b**ching and bullying from Skye, questioning whether or not my relationship of three years was to this day genuine! Is it so impossible for Eden to be with me?’ she wrote.

Paule claimed Wheatley had also asked her before the dinner party if she was ‘still with Eden’ and if they’d had their baby.
‘If someone says something is inappropriate or shouldn’t be discussed… know your place. If someone says the topic makes them uncomfortable and it’s inappropriate, know your place! Don’t sit there and laugh at my interracial relationship that I have had to justify for three years,’ Paule said.
She then said Wheatley’s actions ‘affect her son’, Boston.
‘I pity you because for a person to claim to have it all, your actions tonight proved just how little you have! Goodbye. Love Eden, Cyrell and our son Boston,’ she wrote.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Wheatley for comment.
Paule and Dally met in March 2019 after her TV ‘marriage’ to Nic Jovanovic on MAFS ended when they decided they were better off as friends.
The pair began dating officially within a matter of weeks, and she later moved into his Sydney home.
They welcomed their first child together, son Boston, in February 2020.
