MAFS Australia's Juliette Chae Issues Apology After 'Star of the Show' Lie Exposed
Juliette Chae, a bride on Married at First Sight Australia, has broken her silence with a public apology following an explosive dinner party where she lashed out at her husband, Joel Moses. The incident, which aired on E4, saw Juliette falsely accuse Joel of performatively stating he wanted to be the "star of the show" while they were in their apartment.
Explosive Dinner Party Fallout
During the heated dinner party, Juliette told everyone at the table that Joel had made the comment, leaving him to deny it vehemently. This left Juliette "shocked" and feeling she had to "defend her name" because she believed Joel was "painting her out to be a liar." However, upon reviewing the tapes, it was revealed that Joel had actually said to Juliette, "You don't see the star in me," indicating he felt she didn't recognize his true self, not that he sought centre stage attention.
Juliette's Admission of Fault
Appearing on MAFS After The Dinner Party, Juliette admitted she was wrong, explaining, "I completely misremembered. Everything was just completely foggy and blurry. I feel like I was just completely wigging out. I heard the star comment and as soon as I heard that, I just went boom." She went on to express feeling "[bleep]ing awful" about her behaviour, acknowledging her mistake in the heat of the moment.
Experts and Viewers React
The experts on the show, including John Aiken, Mel Schilling, and Alessandra Rampolla, called Juliette out for "speaking down" to Joel in an extremely "condescending" way. They described her behaviour as "hard to watch" and "disrespectful," echoing viewer sentiments. On social media platform X, formerly Twitter, fans expressed outrage, with comments such as:
- "Has Juliette forgotten about the cameras?"
- "It's on tape Juliette that he never said that."
- "Anyone else screaming at the TV JOEL EXPLAIN WHAT YOU SAID AND IN WHAT CONTEXT."
- "Is Juliette living in an alternative universe?"
- "Is Juliette concussed?"
- "My heart is breaking this is so sad to watch."
- "This is a complete character assassination."
What's Next for the Couple?
Fans will have to wait and see what the experts have to say to Juliette and Joel when they attend the next commitment ceremony. Married At First Sight Australia continues to air Monday to Thursday on E4 at 7.30pm, keeping viewers on edge as the drama unfolds.
