MAFS fans hit out at groom's shock act: 'Truly deplorable'

MAFS fans were left shocked on Tuesday night after hearing groom Ryan Donnelly make an explicit remark about his 'wife' Jacqui Burfoot during intimacy week when the grooms were speaking with expert Alessandra Rampolla. Ryan left the other grooms speechless after saying that despite Jacqui's "crazy eyes" she is good at performing a sexual act on him.

The men in the room were shocked and an insider tells Yahoo Lifestyle, "Nobody could believe what he said, and Dave made his disgust at the remark known. Following that single comment, the grooms were then divided for the rest of the season, with Dave and Billy continually calling Ryan and others out for how they speak to and about women."

"Jacqui was still feeling quite insecure after Ryan placed her third in the photo ranking challenge and then finding this out, she just exploded," they added.

After Ryan makes the comment, Jeff tells the cameras, "It was just a throw away comment, and it was disrespectful. And all of us guys were a bit like, 'Mate, you can't say that.'"

"You just want to shake him up and go, 'Ryan, just stop! Stop!'" Billy said, with Dave adding, "Some things I just wouldn't say out loud, I think he's dug himself another hole. And no doubt it's going to get back to her."

MAFS fans slam Ryan's comment about Jacqui

Fans were quick to slam Ryan on social media, with one user writing, "That was a truly deplorable moment on TV. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact Ryan said it in a setting like that or that he seemed oblivious to how bad it was talking about his wife that way!"

"He was trying to show off and impress the other guys, didn't read the room at all, he just kept going (could have been all editing) but even the way he said it in front of Alessandra shows how much respect he has for women," another said. "So, I'm putting this out there...tonight at the dinner party, I'm thinking he lied about it to make himself look big, Jackie [sic] probably hasn't been near him that way."

"It seems ratings for Channel 9 is more important than actually trying to match real couples!" a third said. "They'd rather go for the shock and awe. It's definitely getting harder and harder to enjoy this show anymore. And guessing from the comments.. I'm not alone in this thinking."

"This season is so toxic and disappointing, the experiment is proving to be a huge failure!" someone else said.

"Lack of emotional intelligence, just cringeworthy, shame on Channel 9 for allowing this disrespectful dialogue to be shown towards Jacqui on national TV," another added.

"When men are gasping you know it’s bad," one person wrote.

"Did Ryan completely forget there are cameras on him?" someone else said. "No words!"

Some also commended the other men, with one viewer writing, "Awww Jeff is the biggest sweetheart! The look of absolute disgust on his face when [Ryan] speaks. That man would never kiss and tell."
