Married At First Sight: Madison Myers Defends Lies Caught on Tape

The Married At First Sight reunion came in hot, with Madison Myers and David Trimble still together and facing questions about when their relationship officially began. Madison and David reveal they are still together while holding hands and gushing over each other. Michelle Tomblin seems annoyed and gives a slight eye roll. Madison Myers admits the relationship started blossoming a little over 3 weeks into the experiment while they worked out in the gym.

Madison Myers defends accusations that she was out with David Trimble till the wee hours many times. She says the only night she turned to David was after Allen called her interactions with men “transactional”. Allen admits he was made to look like a fool since Madison and David hid their attraction. He would’ve appreciated David just being honest. David apologizes for how he handled things but admits he “shot his shot”.

A clip from Married At First Sight shows Madison Myers complaining about Michelle Tomblin confronting her on camera. She wishes it could have been different. But also calls Michelle immature and says she had nothing to do with her and David’s marriage. Michelle calls her out for being dishonest and Madison Myers suggests they light it on fire and burn it to the ground because there is nothing to lose at this point.

MAFS Couples Discuss the Season’s Drama

Married At First Sight reunion host Kevin Frazier questions the cast about Madison Myers and David Trimble getting together while still married to other people. Thomas McDonald says he was surprised to find out the two had been talking and texting in secret after defending David. Emem Obot too expressed shock that David would pursue Madison behind Michelle Tomblin’s back. Ikechi Ojore says he knew there was an attraction as early as the honeymoon while seeing them interact at the gym.

Another shocking twist in the Chicago season of MAFS was Emem Obot getting engaged quickly to another man shortly after decision day. Emem also dragged Ikechi in a letter she read aloud when they met with the experts to discuss the divorce. In a sit down with Kevin Frazier, Emem doesn’t wish ill will upon Ikechi now. But he still remains vague and passive aggressive towards Emem. Mentioning again he lacked an attraction to her and blaming her for being aggressive.
