Krissy Marsh has opened up about what really went on behind the scenes on The Real Housewives of Sydney. Appearing on the Back From Reality podcast on Thursday the 48-year-old explained that she once tried to quit the show
‘There was one point in the show when I basically quit,’ Krissy said.
‘Every reality contestant gets a psychological test. So they knew what my triggers and my button were, and that was my family.’
The former real estate agent decided that she was ‘out’ after another Housewife supposedly went too far by speaking about her family.

Krissy explained that she decided to take a stand and convinced some of the other Housewives to walk off set with her.
‘[Producers] said, “Why are you quitting the show?” and I said, “Because my five minutes of fame isn’t worth what could affect my children for a lifetime,”‘ she said.
Her bold move convinced the producers to scrap the footage in which her family was mentioned.

After the reality show began airing on Foxtel, Krissy claimed she was ‘trolled’ by the people in her own social circles.
‘I was trolled, but it was actually by people I knew,’ she said.
‘The whole production company had prepared you for being trolled and what to do and what not to say, but not by people you knew.’
