Jilted Married At First Sight stars Sierah Swepstone, Adrian Araouzou and Morena Farina break their silence after being snubbed from the 2025 Logie Awards
Now, the jilted reality stars are breaking their silence regarding the ceremony's cold shoulder.
Sierah Swepstone, Adrian Araouzou and Morena Farina spoke to Chattr about being snubbed from TV's night of nights and lifted the lid on all the drama behind the scenes.
'I have removed myself from anything MAFS-related or TV-related,' Adrian said, adding that had distanced himself from the show's social events, Instagram and castmates.
However, the former TV groom did reveal that he'd be open to attending the event if an invite found its way into his letter box.

Morena sung a similar tune, saying that she hadn't been invited to the Logies, but was not surprised considering she had been excluded from most events related to the show.
She also let slip of tensions amongst the MAFS participants, adding that she'd rather avoid people who 'unfairly' shut her out.
'Attending the Logies would be an honour and a privilege, though I'll be honest, I'd prefer not to be seated at the table with the MAFS cast season 12,' she said.
Controversial bride Sierah, who was embroiled in a cheating scandal with fellow ousted groom Adrian, claimed that her snub was a form of 'victim silencing'.
'Channel 9 completely barred me from any media opportunities and anything associated with it because of what they allowed to happen to me while I was there,' she sensationally alleged.
On Monday, the MAFS cast descended into a frenzy ahead of the 2025 Logie Awards, after learning that only a small handful of them would be invited to the glittering ceremony.
Set to take place on August 4 in Sydney, the event will once again be hosted by Channel Seven, leaving some Channel Nine stars sweating over their invite status.
Daily Mail Australia revealed that only a few of this year's breakout stars made the cut, despite MAFS 2025 scoring strong ratings and widespread attention.
Those tipped to attend include Jamie Marinos, Awhina Rutene, Rhi Disljenkovic, Jeff Gobbels, Tony Mojanovski, Ryan Donnelly, Carina Mirabile, Eliot Donovan, Beth Kelly and Teejay Halkias.
All ten stars have remained in good standing with Nine and have been spotted at recent promotional events, making them the obvious choices to represent the show and network.
Should Channel Nine be feeling generous Katie Johnston and Ashleigh Ackerman will also be considered.
Meanwhile, relationship experts John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla will once again attend the awards to officially represent the series, while Mel Schilling has been invited but is yet to confirm her appearance.
Insiders say the decision to limit the guest list has caused serious tension within the cast.
'Everyone's panicking and desperate to go,' one source told Daily Mail Australia.
'Some of them acted like saints during filming thinking it would secure them a Logies invite – now they're hearing they didn't make the cut and they're furious.'
Despite still being together, Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice also won't be receiving an invite following their controversial stint on the show.
Perth groom Paul Antoine, Tim Gromie and Veronica Cloherty also didn't make the list.
'There's already drama bubbling behind the scenes,' the insider continued.

Wayne Carey reveals his embarrassing new nickname in the wake of viral 'toilet tryst' video
North Melbourne great Wayne Carey has revealed that he has been given a new nickname following his viral 'toilet tryst' saga. On Wednesday evening, the 54-year-old was speaking at Hotel 520 in Tarneit, where he made light of a video that appeared to show him following a woman out of a bathroom. A seething Carey appeared on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast last week to admit he was seething at the two individuals who had filmed him leaving the bathroom at the Toorak Cellars bar in Amadale last week. He has since stated that he will be seeking legal advice on the matter and that the police had been notified. However, Carey cut a more jovial figure when pressed on the matter when speaking in front of an audience with footy broadcaster Brian Taylor. When Taylor asked Carey what he'd been upto this week, the former Kangaroos premiership winner said: 'Bugger all BT... another quiet week.' He then cracked a light-hearted joke while revealing what people have dubbed him online. 'If I go to the toilet tonight, please no one follow,' he said. 'I've got a new nickname: Toilet Duck.' Carey, is affectionately called Duck by his friends, including Newman. Meanwhile, the nickname 'Toilet Duck' appears to have originated from a footy fan forum on Reddit. It is a play on the name of the US toilet cleaning brand, Toilet Duck. The brand's bleach bottles typically come with a neck that is shaped like that of a duck's. In the viral video clip, a woman, who has now been identified as Kate Aston, a marketing and communications executive from Melbourne, is seen leaving the bathroom at the Toorak Cellars about 20 seconds before Carey is seen leaving the toilets while taking a phone call. A voice behind the camera can be heard saying: 'She looks embarrassed.' Another adds: 'What's he doing in there?' Carey though fired up at the two individuals who took the video. He branded their clandestine act 's*** shaming' and 'cyberbullying'. 'You talk about vile and disgusting, what they've done and who they have affected by a few sh**s and giggles drinking their chardonnay, sitting up there, doing whatever,' Carey said. 'I'm not going to name them because that would be as pathetic as what they are. I'll let the law take care of it.' Both he and Ms Aston have denied that there was any 'tryst' in the toilets. On Wednesday, Ben Fordham also issued a wild theory over the matter. He claimed that Cleary had gone into the bathroom to help her, speculating that she may have been chocking. 'He could have been down there in the latrines and he could have heard someone in a state of distress... she might have been choking on a prawn or an oyster or some piece of food,' Fordham told ex-Geelong player Sam Newman on his podcast You Cannot Be Serious. 'The Duck [Carey] might have rushed in there and given her the Heimlich manoeuvre. 'And he might have been pumping and thrusting to remove the prawn or the obstruction or whatever it might have been. He might have saved a life. 'That's the way I view the Duck. I view him as the good guy, not the bad guy.' Prior to that, Carey, also told Newman that he had: 'Gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger. 'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy.' Newman had also pressed the former North Melbourne and Adelaide star prior to recording the podcast whether anything had gone on in the toilets. 'I said: 'I'd like to ask you, did you know the girl before you went down to the latrines, and were you in the same, not the same cubicle, were you in the same enclosure and speak to her there?' Newman said. 'He said: 'No.' I said: 'Good, well, that's good'. 'She was there, she walked out. He said: 'When I walked out, I was on the phone, I was on the phone to my partner, Jess'. 'And I said: 'Good.' It looked as though. He said there was absolutely nothing in it. The girl has said there was nothing in it, so he's taking umbrage at being accused of being a home breaker.' Fordham delivered his response to Newman's revelation, issuing his empathy to Carey over the matter before adding it was a 'gross invasion of someone's privacy'. 'If that's the case, I can understand why he's filthy, but I just couldn't, I was waiting for you to ask him the question on the podcast, and I don't know whether you just didn't want to become roadkill because he was on a bit of a mission at the time... but that's what I wanted to know. 'Only because he spoke about it for so long and he was going into so much detail. I just couldn't help but wonder, did you happen to step into the same cubicle or not? Obviously, he didn't. Two people can walk out of the [toilet] in the same direction a few minutes apart, having spent no time together at that location. Fordham added: 'It's a gross invasion of someone's privacy and it affects a lot of people.' Carey made 2244 appearances for North Melbourne between 1989 and 2001 before moving to play for the Adelaide Crows in 2003. He added that he would be following through on the matter 'to the tenth degree'. 'We are speaking and we will follow this through to the tenth degree. I'm blown away that women in their 40s could think this was a good idea. How would they explain this to their children?' he explained. 'This is women being cruel to another woman. They have shamed another woman and it is so wrong. It happens far too often and it doesn't get called out. Men do it and it gets called out as it should. Let's see where this goes to from here.'
