Snezana Wood's daughter Eve breaks down in heartbreaking viral video as she speaks about her biological dad for the first time: 'He wanted to see my mum suffer'
The 19-year-old daughter of the former Bachelor star broke down in tears during an interview with Dose of Society, which was shared to the popular Instagram page's 1.7 million followers on Friday.
In the raw and unfiltered video, Eve was asked: 'What is the most painful thing anyone has ever said to you?'
Her candid response left viewers stunned: 'Probably that I don't deserve the life I'm living.'
Wiping away tears, the Melbourne-based teen explained it was her biological dad who made the comment.

'I don't know why he said that to me. I grew up just with my mum,' she continued.
'She raised me to be the woman I am today. He wanted to see my mum suffer. And I think when he saw that my mum had built a life for both of us, it was just more of a reaction.'
Eve revealed she hasn't seen her biological father in eight years and that he was largely absent from her childhood.
'He was never around when I was little, so it was just my mum and I. I was very close to my mum's side, everyone was there to support me, but I think he just did some things a while back that ended him in places he shouldn't have been in. He just got involved with the wrong people,' she said.
The heartfelt clip quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views and comments, with fans flooding the comments section with support and admiration for Eve's strength.
When asked what she would say to her mum today, Eve fought back tears again.
'How proud I am of her,' she replied.
'She's done a lot. She sacrificed a lot. She was working nine to five, and after that going to uni.
'She ended up getting her bachelor's in molecular genetics and biology. Seeing how strong she is, how much strength she's got to keep going through all of this - it makes me proud to be my mother's daughter.'
Eve, who has grown up largely in the spotlight after Snezana found love with Sam Wood on The Bachelor in 2015, later commented under the clip, offering further insight into how hard it was to speak so vulnerably on camera.
'Thank you so much for letting me share my story,' she wrote.
'My friends, family, and people around me know I've never really taken things too seriously, especially growing up in the public eye.
'At such a young age, I think I learned to protect myself by just laughing things off because it was easier than actually addressing them.
'But the question really caught me off guard. It had been such a long time since I'd been that honest with myself, and I didn't expect to get that emotional.
'I was nervous about how this would be received, especially being vulnerable on social media, knowing how harsh it can be. But the kindness and messages I've received have meant more than I can explain.'
Eve was just nine years old when her mum Snezana appeared on season three of The Bachelor, where she met and eventually married fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, now share three daughters together - Willow, Charlie and Harper - with Sam embracing a father role to Eve from the start.
The unlikely sighting comes just weeks after the model revealed she has split with boyfriend Ben Silvagni.
Less than one year after going public with their romance, it appears the couple have now parted ways, following a very telling Instagram post from Eve.
Eve took to the social media platform to share a promo 'questionnaire' from camera company 35mm Co.
The image showed Eve as a '35mm Co muse' providing answers to a series of questions.
Eve seemingly put paid to her romance with Ben with just two simple words.
Answering the question about her 'relationship status' with 'happily single.'
Also tellingly, both Eve and Ben have unfollowed each other on Instagram and apparently scrubbed all evidence of their romance from their respective pages.
However, Snezana and her husband Sam Wood are still following their daughter's former flame.
While there has been no other word from Eve or Ben about the split, it could be a case of tyranny of distance.
Just one month after they confirmed their relationship, Eve revealed that she had moved to New York to study fashion.
The teenager is currently studying at the Parsons School of Design.

MasterChef's John Torode confirms he was accused of racism in Wallace review
The report, commissioned by MasterChef production company Banijay UK and led by law firm Lewis Silkin, found 45 out of 83 allegations against Wallace were substantiated, alongside two standalone allegations made against other people, including one for using racist language. In a post on Instagram, Torode confirmed he was the person alleged to have used racist language but said he had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation. A post shared by John Torode (@johntorodecooks) His statement said: 'Following publication of the Executive Summary of the investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. 'For the sake of transparency, I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. 'The allegation is that I did so sometime in 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. 'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Reports in The Sun said Torode had been asked to leave the show and claim he had mental health issues following the allegation. It comes after Wallace said he was 'deeply sorry for any distress caused' and that he 'never set out to harm or humiliate' in the wake of the report, which included one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact' that was upheld. In November 2024, the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced that Wallace, 60, would step away from his role on MasterChef while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. In a statement to the PA news agency, he said: 'For eight months, my family and I have lived under a cloud. Trial by media, fuelled by rumour and clickbait. 'None of the serious allegations against me were upheld. I challenged the remaining issue of unwanted touching but have had to accept a difference in perception, and I am deeply sorry for any distress caused. It was never intended.' The report found that the 'majority of the allegations against Mr Wallace (94%) related to behaviour which is said to have occurred between 2005 and 2018', with only one allegation substantiated after 2018. It also concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. The report noted that during the course of the investigation, which was over a seven-month period, Wallace was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, and said that the findings should be viewed in the context of his neurodiversity. In his statement, Wallace added: 'I'm relieved that the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018. Some of my humour and language missed the mark. I never set out to harm or humiliate. I always tried to bring warmth and support to MasterChef, on screen and off. 'After nearly 20 years on the show, I now see that certain patterns, shaped by traits I've only recently begun to understand, may have been misread. I also accept that more could have been done, by others and by myself, to address concerns earlier. 'A late autism diagnosis has helped me understand how I communicate and how I'm perceived. I'm still learning.' He praised the show's production company, Banijay, saying they had 'given me great support, and I thank them'. The former greengrocer added: 'There will be more casualties if the BBC continues down this path, where protecting its legacy matters more than protecting people. For my part, with full legal support, I will consider my next move.' Banijay UK said that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable' following the number of sustained allegations. Patrick Holland, chief executive of Banijay UK, said that while the report 'makes for uncomfortable reading', it also provided 'valuable insight to ensure that going forward everyone working on our productions feels safe and supported, and that inappropriate behaviour is quickly and professionally dealt with'. The BBC also said it has 'informed' Wallace that it has 'no plans to work with him in future', adding in a statement: 'This behaviour falls below the values of the BBC and the expectations we have for anyone who works with or for us. 'Although the full extent of these issues were not known at the relevant time, opportunities were missed to address this behaviour, both by the production companies running MasterChef and the BBC. We accept more could and should have been done sooner.' The BBC also addressed the future of a series of MasterChef filmed last year which has not yet been aired, saying it had not made a final decision on broadcasting it. Last year, a BBC News investigation revealed a string of allegations of inappropriate sexual comments and alleged inappropriate behaviour against Wallace by 13 people who worked with him across a range of shows over a 17-year period, including former Newsnight host Kirsty Wark. A statement from Wallace's lawyers at the time said that it 'is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature', as reported by BBC News. Ahead of the official publishing of the external review, Wallace claimed in an Instagram post on July 8, which appears to have been taken down, that he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him. The BBC has been approached for comment.
