MAFS Lizzie opens up about her sexual assault when she was only six

Married At First Sight's Elizabeth Sobinoff has been through a lot since entering the show in 2019. 

WATCH: MAFS' Mishel blasts Elizabeth during EXCLUSIVE Q&A

But there's more to it than being body-shamed and cheated on by Sam Ball, as well as suffering from porphyria, an autoimmune disease which is similar to lupus, which affects her body weight, skin, and hair.

The reality star has opened up in an extremely personal interview with the YouTube channel Beyond Beautiful, where she discussed her mental health, WHO reports.

The reality star has opened up about her past.

Lizzie reveals that she was sexually assaulted at the heartbreakingly young age of six.

Lizzie was misdiagnosed for years.

The abuse led to self-harm, and when she was suffering from the side effects of her autoimmune disease without knowing why, she was misdiagnosed with bipolar.

“I was on lithium, I was on everything,” she told Beyond Beautiful. “I reacted really badly... I was hallucinating … I had drug-induced schizophrenia for close to six years.”

The star was on welfare for a long time because of what happened to her during her misdiagnosis. 

“People always forget about that. I could cry right now. I’ve come from [being on] a disability pension for 10 years. It’s only been two years since I’ve been out of that.”

Elizabeth will return to MAFS next week as an intruder.

Thankfully, she is doing better now.

“I’m in a good place right now. Every single day is different but I’m in a great head space. My skin condition is basically the same but I’ve been able to give my body more of a break so I can feel more like myself.”
