The ‘MAFS’ Cast Are Back On TikTok And Causing Controversy (Again)
It appears the social media gag order on this year’s Married at First Sight cast has been partially lifted, as a trickle of posts from the brides and grooms have begun to emerge on TikTok.
Like the good reality stars they are, some of the participants took the opportunity to throw shade at the former costars, while others just referenced the show in their short videos.
In the ensuing chaos, Harrison poked fun at his so-called “villain edit” while Lyndall and Bronte took aim at their ex-partners in a series of videos.
In one of those videos, the two MAFS brides celebrated their newfound singledom, which is no surprise for fans who watched the show.
However, things took a potentially problematic turn in the comments section when a user suggested that Lyndall and Bronte should “forget men” and “hook up with each other”. Bronte replied by posting a side eye emoji and writing “Wellllll” which Lyndall responded to with another side eye emoji.
The symbol could be seen as suggesting the pair share a sexual attraction, which could be taken as queerbaiting if the women aren’t romantically involved.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, non-confrontational king Josh shared a quirky video about women criticising his name, and MAFS goddess Janelle posted a series of birthday videos for herself.
Although the filming of MAFS season ten took place late last year, the participants had control of their social media accounts when the show started airing. In the past, contestants have claimed that production does this so that the reality stars can’t see nasty messages from trolls.
The final episode of this year’s season of MAFS aired last week, and it appears some of the reality stars have regained access to their TikTok accounts in recent days. It’s inevitably just a matter of time until all the only drama kicks off between the contestants on social media — check out the first wave of drama below.
