Married At First Sight's 12th season has had no shortage of drama both on and off the screen, but tensions reached a peak after certain castmates were 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.
