One Married at First Sight contestant who divided viewers from the very beginning was Poppy, who decided to exit the series on last night’s episode.

Most often shown complaining about missing her kids, Poppy elected to leave the experiment after a disagreement between her and Luke, and it appeared she didn’t even say goodbye to him face-to-face. The people of Australia’s hearts broke for him as he was left in tears.

As we only see snippets of the marriages on MAFS, it was confusing to watch Poppy and Luke’s relationship play out. They appeared to start strongly on their wedding day, then seemed to deteriorate from there, but the only issue mentioned was that Poppy was upset to not be with her kids.

Poppy has taken to her personal Facebook page to address what went on behind the scenes and she ain’t pulling any punches when it comes to her TV husband and the MAFS producers.

“I’m obviously being hammered by media and trolls right now,” Poppy began. “I haven’t watched the show, I refuse to. I understand people are reacting to what they see on TV but they see 1% of what actually goes on in the show. A commitment ceremony for example goes for 15 hours, you see one hour.”

After receiving online hate, Poppy wanted to make it clear that despite what we saw, she and Luke were not vibing at all during the experiment.

“He was fake on camera and a complete dick head behind the scenes! It was infuriating!!! I was there, I was uncomfortable with all the things about this person I was matched with that didn’t add up!” she said.

“I couldn’t say what was happening behind the scenes as it was too controversial so let’s just play her ugly crying and whinging over her kids. Fuck, I’d probably hate me too! From what I heard that’s all they play of me!”

Poppy went on to say that viewers didn’t see the real reason Luke was crying when she chose to leave the experiment but she refrained from explaining what actually went down.

“Why is Luke crying when I left??? What really happened that he was crying over! You don’t know because I wasn’t allowed to say!! It’s too controversial! He’s scared shitless I will tell the truth. I was afraid to speak up!”

“It’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see! Go and ask Luke why I was so uncomfortable?????????????? Why the fuck did I really leave?? He’s petrified I’m going to talk. He knows he’s fucked up.”

Poppy concluded by saying, “I’m not some whinging little weak person that is going to be silenced. I’m standing up for the fucking truth.” But err….what is the truth?? Her post didn’t exactly provide any answers.

In light of Poppy’s Facebook post, Nine and Endemol Shine Australia issued the following statement:

“We have seen Poppy’s post and note her distress – we have reached out to her to offer support and won’t be making any further public comment, and will focus on doing our best to support both Poppy and Luke.”

Maybe it’s for the best that neither of these guys are on TV any longer and can go live their best lives in the real world. What a mess.
