Jackie Gillies told The Daily Mail Australia that Berenger "wasn't well-received" by viewers. Meanwhile, Gina Liano claimed viewers "loved to hate" Pettifleur, but Jackie said audiences hadn't liked the "Switch the Bitch" author.
"I think that is what really happened with Pettifleur, she wasn't well-received," explained Jackie.
"She also wanted the attention all the time," Lydia added. "If we were busy on the telephone she would say, 'Why aren't you texting why aren't you talking to me.'"
Newcomer Venus Behbahani-Clark also slammed Pettifleur, describing the former housewife as hard to watch.
"There's love to hate and then there is cringeworthy, she was cringeworthy," she told the publication.
Despite the criticism, some of the castmates had nice things to say about their former co-star.
"She was great television," said Gina Liano. "I actually really like Pettifleur, she's a lot of fun."
Gamble Breaux also chimed in with some kind winds, saying: "She's doing really well. She landed on her feet."
Berenger took to social media to fire back at the comments made by her former cast members. "Why are they still talking about me?," she tweeted.
