The Block’s Mimi, who was at the centre of the recent flirting scandal that led to Kylie and Brad leaving the competition for good, suffered a panic attack on Tuesday night. Kylie found out Brad had been flirting with Mimi late one night after they’d finished work for the day and on Sunday night the married couple left for good, with Kylie saying they won’t return for the auction.

This week, the contestants are working on the Clubhouse and also have to complete unfinished work on their houses and ensure they’re photo-ready by the morning. Everything quickly becomes too much for her and she ends up breaking down.

Mimi begins hyperventilating, saying she was “still processing” Kylie and Brad’s departure.

“It’s the last week, I just wanted it to be fun,” she said. “Last week was so hard. Kylie and Brad left and I didn’t get time to process that and then the All Stars came in.”

Courtney quickly comforted her friend, saying, “You’ve got to remember, you’ve had a few big weeks. There’s been a of s**t that’s happening, you haven’t really spoken about it. It’s bottling up and now it’s all coming out.”

“So much has happened,” Mimi sobbed. “I haven’t really dealt with any of it.”

With Courtney’s help, Mimi is able to get herself together and she tells the cameras she’s so grateful for her friend.

“Everyone needs an emotional support-ney,” she joked.

Unfortunately, the fans didn’t have as much sympathy for Mimi. Many took to social media to say they believed people would have felt more sympathy for her if “she took some ownership” for her actions.

“I honestly would feel empathy for her if she just took some ownership and accountability for her actions and choices,” one Reddit user said. “Also stopped projecting and playing the victim… She needs to help herself. Little bit of self awareness would go a long way here.”

“And the Oscar goes to Mimi!” another said on Facebook.

“That was really bad acting I must say… She carries to way too much drama,” a third agreed.

“I think Mimi’s breakdown is out of guilt, I also think her and Kristian have decided not to address it on camera but something is definitely wrong with them they’re not joking around or being themselves with each other,” someone else suggested.

Others went so far as to claim she didn’t want to clean, so she ‘faked’ the panic attack ‘to get out of work’.
