Kayla Boyd hits out at Channel Nine for misleading interview about her marriage to NRL star Darius.

Kayla Boyd has hit out at Nine News for taking comments she made about her husband’s infidelity out of context in an interview on Thursday night.

The fashion designer, who is married to Brisbane Bronco Darius Boyd, said she agreed to an interview with Nine News to tell a positive story about overcoming mental illness together.

Kayla told Brisbane’s 97.3FM Breakfast team Bianca, Terry and Bob that “one statement” became the entire focus of the interview as well as subsequent coverage from other news outlets.

"The whole point was to talk about, to raise awareness of mental health and to talk about what it’s like to be with someone that has depression and be in a marriage where someone has a mental illness and to raise awareness on the bullying side of things as well," she told the breakfast team.

"Obviously, I’m very raw, real and honest and one statement about something that a lot of people within the entertainment industry already know about – they’ve grabbed that.

"They’re now focusing on stuff that happened four years ago."

Kayla said her husband's "serious mental health illness" was the "real issue" harming their relationship and him getting help was how they overcame it together and went on to start a family.

"Because when you’re suffering, and you’re going through pain – you take things out on the person that’s closest to you.

"And that was the point of what I was saying."

Kayla, who faced backlash early this year for an abortion she had shortly after miscarrying in a separate pregnancy, opened up about the couple's trials in the interview.

She said telling Nine News, "I was 100 per cent done. I’m shocked that I am sitting here talking about him and we are still married," was not supposed to be the focus of the interview.

The 29-year-old said she decided to stand by the NRL star when he was admitted to rehab, reunited and welcomed their daughter Willow in September 2015.

"I ended up meeting up with him and he looked so sick, he looked drains and exhausted. He hadn’t been eating and hadn’t been sleeping it was so scary."

However, it was not the end of the family's heartache. Kayla said she had faced vicious backlash after revealing she had an abortion last year following a miscarriage.

"I got called a murderer, a killer and I don’t deserve the gift of life," she told Nine News.

"People wished that I'd never fall pregnant again."

Kayla wrote on her blog Adored by Kayla Boyd, that her miscarriage in April last year came just a week after her grandmother died.

She told The Courier Mail in January that her grandmother's death made dealing with her miscarriage "so much harder emotionally".

"I didn’t deal with it very well at the time. Instead of being upset, I’m the kind of person who has to keep myself busy and so that’s what I did," she told the newspaper.

Kayla said she felt "lost", "scared" and "confused" when in August she learned she was seven weeks pregnant and decided to terminate two days later.

"After talking to Darius about it and with everything we had going on that year… our life was so full on and crazy and it would have affected our marriage; it would have been very stressful and hard."

On her blog she said she at times felt "selfish" for having the abortion, but knew it was the right decision.

"I had to give something up, in the end after discussing it with Darius I chose to be selfish."

"And I do at times feel selfish for making that decision. Especially when there are women who struggle with falling pregnant and obviously there are those who are extremely against terminations.

"I continue to remind myself that it was the right choice for me, and the right choice for our family."
