''Producers will go to extreme lengths to tell a story and they will edit you, manipulate you in any way that they can to tell that story.''

But according to Loz, all was not as it seems. Do you have a Married at First Sight tip or know one of the participants? Email us with your tip-off at NowToLoveTips@bauerxcelmedia.com.au In an interview with Jackie O and Beau Ryan on KIISFM on Tuesday morning, Lauren has come out swinging at the hit TV show that made her famous … and all without permission from Channel 9. Defying their orders to stay mum, Lauren felt the need to bring justice to her reputation and give her side of the story. "At the moment the public have only seen Matt's side of the story . I feel like I deserve to say my side," Lauren said. "I definitely looked like the bad guy in this relationship. I just want to clear all of this." And clear all of this she did.

(Source: KIIS FM) "With the lesbian thing, I'm just going to clarify that," she told Jackie and Beau. One of the hottest topics to come out of the Loz/Matt storyline was the fact that Lauren "used to be a lesbian". But now, the makeup artist wants to set the record straight. "With the lesbian thing, I'm just going to clarify that," she told Jackie and Beau. "So initially my answer was, when I was about 18 to 20 I had a bad experience with a guy and I just hated men as a result. And so I dated only women. That's what I said. That was it. "My producer was like, 'Fantastic. Great. However, we're going to get you to re-enact that, say it again but use the word "lesbian". I was like, "I am not okay with that. I do not want to use that word. I do not label myself as a lesbian . It didn't feel right." WATCH NEXT: Lauren reveals she was a "lesbian" on MAFS Story continues...

(Source: Channel 9) As for the swinging, Lauren told the co-hosts that producers used manipulation and editing to make it sound like that's what she wanted. "So I was talking to Matt about some of my friends who are married and are into swinging...Everyone in relationships has different desires and needs...but it's not for me. "I was never, ever proposing to Matt that we swing or have threesomes. "All I asked from him was to be more dominant and show me more affection and that that wasn't asking for too much," Lauren said.

But you guys have to understand I was getting frustrated at this point and I was almost testing him in a way. "In hindsight I know that's not okay and I regret obviously saying that," Lauren said. Another issue Lauren had was her over-arching story line or lack thereof. She felt that she was merely the bride married to a 29-year-old virgin and it was about his experience. "We all have a role to play, this whole story with Matthew and I, was about Matthew and his virginity. "You could see it from day one. It was all about him. His struggles, his issues, his self-development." Now to Love have reached out to Endemol Shine for comment.<doc-sep>Lauren Huntriss has lashed out at Married At First Sight producers, claiming she was given a “disgusting” edit on the show, which painted her as a “sex freak” and a “nympho”. The make-up artist, 32, was paired with 29-year-old videographer Matthew, who famously lost his virginity to her during their honeymoon.

He was then overheard by Lauren telling the other men at the dinner party he wasn’t “attracted” to her, and the couple broke up and left the experiment during Sunday night’s commitment ceremony. Despite claiming to be under a strict gag order from Nine, Lauren appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O show this morning in order to set the record straight. During the interview — with Beau Ryan filling in for Kyle Sandilands — Lauren claimed she was “manipulated” into using sexual terms by producers. “Matt is obviously innocent, a virgin. You guys slept together on the honeymoon, and a few episodes later it came out that you had been a lesbian in the past, and what if I was into swinging and threesomes? And everyone was like, ‘whoa, where did that come from?’” Jackie probed, with Beau chiming in: “Yeah, they made it look like they partnered this virgin with someone that’s a sex freak.” “I definitely looked like the bad guy in the relationship,” Lauren explained. “So, I just want to clear this up because, firstly, anyone who watches reality TV, surely they understand that it is not real life. It is not reality. Producers will go to extreme lengths to tell a story and they will edit you, manipulate you in any way that they can to tell that story. “I felt disgusted (when I first saw the edited version), and I was so upset. Then I received so much hate … For them to paint me as this nympho, it was disgusting. I feel so let down.” Addressing the idea she was into “threesomes and swinging”, Lauren explained she had said nothing of the sort. “The actual conversation was about half an hour, so the public have seen about a 10-second snippet of what happened,” she told the radio hosts. “I was talking to Matt about some of my friends who are married and are into swinging … and I said, ‘There’s nothing wrong with that, everyone in relationships have different desires and needs, but it’s not for me’. “I was never, ever proposing to Matt that we swing or have a threesome, I was essentially trying to say, ‘This is what some couples do’. All I asked for was for him to be more dominant and show me affection, and that wasn’t asking too much.” Lauren also claimed producers forced her to say she was a “lesbian” rather than the reality. “With the lesbian thing — initially my answer was at 18 to 20, I had a bad experience with a guy, and I just hated men as a result. So, I dated only women,” she explained. “That’s what I said, that was it. My producer was like, ‘That’s fantastic, great, however we are going to get you to re-enact that, say it again but use the word lesbian’.” It made Lauren feel uncomfortable, but she claimed she felt pressured to do as he asked. “I was like, ‘I’m not OK with that, I don’t want to use that word, I don’t label myself as a lesbian’ … It didn’t feel right, but when you’re sleep-deprived, and you’re under all this pressure, you’ve got two cameramen there, your producer … and you all saw what Matt was like, he never really stood up for me. “So, it was like all of these men against me … They will literally say to you: ‘We will keep you here all day until you say what we want you to say’.” Despite leaving the show on friendly terms during Sunday’s episode, Lauren admitted she and Matthew cut contact shortly afterwards. “Since the breakup we have spoken — I’m the kind of person who tries to stay friends with their exes — but I was just so hurt by the way things ended,” Lauren said. In response to Lauren’s allegations an Endemol Shine Australia spokesman told news.com.au that “all participants are adults and remain in full control of the choices they make”. “They choose to apply to be on the show, choose to accept selection, and choose whether or not to continue in the experiment,” the statement read. “During broadcast, we continue to reach out to every participant, including Lauren. They may choose not to respond to our contact and offers of support, and we respect their decision. But the offer of support remains for each and every participant. “This always includes access to our show psychologist. Everyone makes their own decision about what they say and do. But, this experiment can be highly emotional and the participants’ reactions can often be unpredictable, even to themselves.” Married At First Sight continues at 7.30pm tonight on Nine.<doc-sep>Lauren Huntriss is no longer on our TVs after leaving Married at First Sight and her relationship with Matthew Bennett, but the ups and downs of the experience have remained with her. In an honest interview this week, Lauren opened up about a rather strange conversation she had with husband Matt ‘off camera’. “One of those that really stuck in my mind, on more than one occasion he actually said, ‘Loz, I don’t think I fit in on this earth’,” Lauren said during an interview with KIIS FM. Lauren claims Matt thought he had been abducted by aliens. Photo: Channel Nine “‘I believe I was abducted by aliens, and they’ve done something to my brain. Because my brain’s been rewired differently; my brain hasn’t been the same since I was 15.’ “And it really concerned me.” She says she worried about his mental health and his decision to be on a reality TV show like this if he was struggling with anxiety so much. “Matt would be so crippled with anxiety that 80 per cent of the time we were filming, he would just shut down when things were overwhelming,” she said. Lauren and Matthew decided to leave Married At First Sight and their relationship. Photo: Channel Nine Lauren also spoke about how producers tried to “manipulate” her during filming, which they’ve denied – stating contestants are “in full control of the choices they make”. In the same interview with KIIS FM, the makeup artist said she “definitely looked like the bad guy in the relationship” between her and Matt. “I just want to clear this up because firstly, anyone who watches reality TV, surely they understand that it is not real life,” Lauren told Kyle and Jackie O. “I felt disgusted (when I first saw the edited version), and I was so upset,” she continued, adding, “For them to paint me as this nympho, it was disgusting.

Another explosive dinner party full of peak bogan drama. Catch up on a brand new season of Married At First Sight with the recap to end all recaps.... Less than 24 hours after Married At First Sight’s Matthew Bennett revealed he’d got a new girlfriend — his continual shocks appear to be taking their toll on his ex-wife Lauren Huntriss. The 32-year-old has just revealed she’s lost 10kg, saying appearing on MAFS had caused her to drop the huge amount of weight. In a before-and-after photo posted on her Instagram Stories, Lauren looks dramatically thinner. “Wanna loose (sic) 10kgs?? Go on #mafs ! !” she wrote, adding four laughing face emojis as well as a shocked emoji face. While Lauren didn’t say her staggering weight loss is down to stress, there’s no denying the make-up artist has had a lot on her plate as a result of going on the Channel 9 show. On Wednesday, she lashed out at producers, claiming she was given a “disgusting” edit on the show, which painted her as a “sex freak” and a “nympho”. Lauren was married to 29-year-old videographer Matt, who famously lost his virginity to her during their honeymoon. However, their relationship hit a rough patch last week when she revealed to him she “used to be a lesbian”, suggested she might be into “swinging” and “threesomes” and asked him to be more “dominant” in the bedroom — causing Matt to become severely overwhelmed. After Matt admitted he wasn’t “attracted” to her, the pair split — leaving the show on Sunday during an explosive commitment ceremony. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, Matt then went public with new girlfriend Annabelle on national TV yesterday. The shock news left Lauren “hurt” by the way she’d been treated, according to co-star Melissa Lucarelli, who spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle about Matt’s new partner. This isn’t the first time Lauren’s undergone a transformation. News.com.au recently unearthed images of the reality TV star before her stint on screen, and she looked unrecognisable with dark hair and make-up.
