Married at First Sight Australia 2024‘s Lauren Dunn has spilled BULK tea during a SPICY Instagram Q&A, and you might wanna sit down for this one.
On May 27, the outspoken bride took to social media to answer her fans’ burning questions, and let’s just say, she did not hold back!
First things first, fans were dying to know if Lauren had a new man in her life after her TV hubby Jonathan McCullough infamously moved on with their co-star Ellie Dix.
“There’s one particular person on my mind but I’m going to be fairly cagey with any future relationships,” she told her followers.
Another fan asked her if she “pretended to like Jono” throughout filming, to which the 32-year-old replied: “I tried my hardest. Let’s just put it that way”. Ouch!
Lauren Dunn shared her thoughts on Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding’s controversial podcast episode
People also asked the fan-favourite bride to share her thoughts on Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding‘s controversial podcast interview with Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams, where they victim-blamed Lauren.
“To be honest, I didn’t listen [to the episode],” Lauren told her followers. “But hopefully, the backlash has taught them something. I remain pretty unbothered, to be honest.”
Elsewhere in the Q&A, the PR and marketing consultant said: “I’m too busy to listen to bitchy podcasts. I don’t have time for it, and I really don’t care.”
Married at First Sight‘s Lauren addresses *those* videos with Jayden from their wild night out
Lauren also addressed the “disrespectful” videos that surfaced of herself dancing on Jayden Eynaud during a cast night out.
She told her followers she wasn’t aware that Jayden and his on-screen wife Eden Harper had broken up and they were “faking being together“.
“I was being drunk and stupid. We were at a gay bar, and I was grinding all up on everyone,” she recalled.
In clips that circulated from the night, Lauren could be seen caressing Jayden’s naked torso and moving his hand to cup her breast.
“I didn’t do that with Jayden to hurt Eden,” Lauren insisted. “If I knew they were broken up and she was upset, I would’ve been way more sensitive to the situation.”
Married at First Sight’s Lauren explains why she never replied to Eden’s message after the ‘club incident’ with Jayden
Another fan asked Lauren why she never replied to Eden’s messages after the “club incident” with Jayden.
“I actually blocked the majority of the cast after I found out they were all in a group chat where certain people were trying to find dirt on me and photos of me with guys to send into the media to bring me down,” Lauren said.
The reality star explained that even though Eden didn’t “participate” in the group chat, she was still part of it, which led to Lauren blocking her number too.
“I didn’t see Eden’s message,” Lauren clarified. “I tried to reach out to her when the video [with Jayden] came out, but my message didn’t go through”.
Lauren also revealed that she only remains in contact with a select few castmates, including Sara Mesa, Tristan Black, Timothy Smith, Ridge Barredo, Jade Pywell, Lucinda Light, Stephen Stewart and Natalie Parham. Interesting…
Married at First Sight‘s Lauren Dunn addresses *those* secret Bali boyfriend rumours
ICYMI: in a scathing TikTok video, Jonathan alleged that Lauren asked him to fake their relationship during filming as she had a secret boyfriend IRL.
He then claimed that after telling him about her secret boyfriend, she said: “I’m not interested in a relationship. Let’s look after each other and have fun”.
At the time, Lauren told So Dramatic! that she was never in a relo during filming, stating: “I refuse to go tit for tat on social media with a 40-year-old man. I’ll leave that to Ben [Walters].” LOL!
Lauren also addressed these Bali bae rumours during her recent Q&A.
“On our honeymoon, [Jonathan and I] were talking to each other about our previous hookups,” she told her followers. “I told him about a fling I had in Bali previous to the show.”
However, Lauren insisted that this person wasn’t a “boyfriend”, and she never stayed in contact with him or saw him again.
“We can all see that Jono used that to throw in my face when it got too hot in the kitchen with him. Because why would he stay if I told him I had a boyfriend on the second day?” Period, sis!
She later joked, “If someone knows who this boyfriend is… I’d love to know.” And the case was officially closed!
MAFS‘ Lauren Dunn wishes fans saw her defend Sara Mesa after her CHEATING scandal was exposed
Lauren also admitted that she wished people got to see her defend her bestie Sara after she was exposed for “cheating” on Tim Calwell at the Dinner Party.
“I really had Sara’s back,” she explained. “The whole table was screaming at her. They muted everyone else’s microphones and made it look like she was yelling at everyone, which wasn’t the case.”
Lauren then pointed out a huge double standard: The group never yelled at Jack, who was more controversial than Sara, the same way.
“Of course, when it’s a woman and a chance for everyone to have their say, they all jumped at her. And it drove me wild,” she added.
Lauren claimed that she also ripped off her microphone and stormed out, but this moment was left on the cutting room floor.
“There’s no way I’m going to allow 20 people to come at my best friend,” she said. “Every person there had someone in their corner. Sara had no one in her corner except for me.
“I’m going to stick up for my friend. And if you don’t stick up for your friends in those situations, then you’re a bad friend,” she finished. Mic drop!
