Gia Fleur, a bride on the current series of Married At First Sight Australia, has launched a scathing attack on the show's producers, accusing them of 'controlling' the cast and deliberately stirring up drama. In a video shared with Daily Mail Australia, the 35-year-old former Playboy bunny claimed producers use 'underhand tactics' and 'manipulative tasks' to break up couples and create chaos.
Fleur, known for her fiery temper, alleged that the show is more about drama than genuine romantic connections. She said: 'I’m losing my mind. This experiment is like Drama at First Sight. It’s not Married at First Sight.' She claimed she came to find love and believes she found it with her on-screen husband Scott, but producers have prioritised conflict over their relationship.
In the video, Fleur detailed specific instances of producer interference. She said she was deliberately separated from her husband for over five hours while he met with another bride, which she believes was done to stress her out. She also alleged that during feedback week, she was paired with Danny as a setup by producers, knowing it would cause conflict. She rejected the date to avoid being part of their game.
Fleur also criticised the editing of the show, claiming producers only aired scenes of her 'stirring the pot' while omitting moments that showed her in a better light. She said: 'You don’t know behind the scenes how much we get told to do that and how much our love story isn’t that important.' She added that cast members are controlled in every aspect, from when they eat to when they see their spouses, and are told to be emotional but not too much, as that would be 'boring'.
Fleur concluded by reminding viewers that despite on-screen conflicts, everyone is part of a TV show based on drama. 'We are told to do things that we don’t really want to do and we wouldn’t do in normal life,' she said.
