As revealed in episode 531 of the So Dramatic! podcast, Jack, who was part of FWAW 2025‘s original line-up, was booted from the show before filming wrapped.
Insiders claimed this was because he was having multiple affairs at the same time. This included contestants and people who weren’t on the show.
Producers reportedly panicked over how this would look once the truth came out and deleted his storyline entirely, meaning none of his scenes ever made it to air.
However, as reported in episode 600, this wasn’t the only reason the Oberon-based farmer was kicked off the show.
Farmer Wants a Wife‘s Jack Rowlandson has been accused of sexual assault
So Dramatic! can exclusively reveal that producers decided to cut Jack from the show due to an investigation that was launched into him by the NSW Police’s Sex Crimes Squad.
“Jack is being investigated,” one source told So Dramatic!. “Two women he was hooking up with during filming reported him to the police for alleged SA.
“That’s the real reason he was booted from the show.”
Another insider claimed that the allegations came from women who weren’t part of his farm.
NSW Sex Crimes Squad makes statement about Farmer Wants a Wife’s Jack Rowlandson
In a statement to So Dramatic!, the NSW Sex Crimes Squad confirmed that an investigation was launched into “the alleged sexual assault of two women by a 27-year-old man”. However, the matter has since been suspended.
“The NSW Police Force (NSWPF) recognises the trauma that victims of sexual violence experience and so takes a victim-centric approach to alleged sexual assault and violence. The NSWPF will only investigate an alleged sexual crime as far as the victim is comfortable with,” the statement read.
“There are several reporting options available to victims of sexual assault, some of which involve making a report to police but not necessarily pursuing an investigation. Police will always encourage victims to engage with support services even if they don’t want a legal outcome.”
The NSWPF reiterated that their priority remains the safety and well-being of victims. They also encouraged the reporting of sexual crimes to effectively disrupt, prevent, and ultimately end sexual violence across NSW.
