MAFS filming halted due to Ryan and Jacqui's conflict
Filming for Married At First Sight (MAFS) was recently halted due to a major scandal involving contestants Ryan Donnelly and Jacqui Burfoot. Ryan has shared details about a serious confrontation with Jacqui, which left him feeling "disgusted." The incident began when a joke Ryan made during their honeymoon escalated into an intense argument. During a light-hearted moment, Jacqui asked if he had ever gotten someone pregnant after he joked about his biceps. This prompted her to interrogate him about his past, causing the tension to rise. Ryan said he felt trapped, as they were being filmed at the time. Later, during a commitment ceremony, Jacqui brought up the joke again in front of the cast and experts, which led to an explosive outburst where she linked the joke to serious topics like women's rights and assault. Producers quickly shut down filming following her comments. Ryan was advised to seek legal counsel after he felt threatened by the situation. He described the experience as surreal and traumatic. Meanwhile, Jacqui was reportedly starting a secret relationship with another contestant, Clint Rice, while still appearing to be "married" to Ryan on the show. Ryan believes Jacqui's actions have been part of a plan to portray him negatively. He claims he has evidence of their scheme and that she continues to attack him on social media. As the show progresses, tensions remain high, and both contestants are standing firm in their positions. Ryan asserts he knows his truth, despite Jacqui's attempts to change the narrative.
