All the times the MAFSAU s12 cast have thrown shade at each other - from sly comments to cheeky interviews
Season 12 of Married At First Sight Australia might be over, but the shade has not stopped. Since the series wrapped on E4 earlier this month, the cast have been shading each other left, right, and centre, whether on their social media accounts or in official interviews. Honestly, there's been enough shade to start a whole rainforest! Jacqui Burfoot and Ryan Donnelly's marriage didn't last on the show, and Jacqui is now engaged to Clint Rice, who was with Lauren Hall (please keep up). Viewers are well aware that the pair are no longer on speaking terms, alhough Jacqui and Clint have been making some indirects (which seem to be aimed at Ryan) on social media... Then, there's Veronica Cloherty and Lauren, who've been shading their exes, Eliot and Clint. Read on to see some of the digs the MAFSAU cast have made at each other since the show ended. Who is she throwing shade at? Eliot Veronica has been making veiled references to "lustful losers who lie and cheat" on her Instagram and recently captioned a post: "When they no longer have control over you they will try and control how others see you." She didn't name any names, but it's pretty clear someone has got under her skin. She was a lot more vocal about Eliot in an interview with Glamour, saying: "[Eliot] would do things like praise me for keeping the apartment clean and for being super low-maintenance, but never asked me a personal question about my career, about my aspirations, about what's important to me." Who is she throwing shade at? Clint During season 12, Lauren said that she didn't think Clint was "alpha enough", and since filming ended, she's been making a few digs at her ex. In an interview with Glamour, she revealed that instead of working on "businesses that he wanted to start", Clint would be "would be fluffing around, folding my G-strings into little triangles." She added that she didn't think he was "innately masculine" and referred to a time when filming ran late and Clint didn't speak up to the producers. "I said to Clint, 'That's not okay - are you going to say anything about that?' He was like, 'Oh no, it's fine. We'll be alright.' And I was like, 'No, it's your job to protect us…' But he just wouldn't. He was just, like, go with the flow, everything's fine. So I felt that I was always the one being the man in the relationship," she explained. Who is she shading? Ryan Jacqui's been throwing shade at Ryan to be honest. On the show, she questioned him about his beard not being manly enough and asked him why he didn't want to be "great". And the digs haven't stopped since the show ended. She captioned a photo "real men buy flowers", she's been calling Clint her "great man" on social media, and she recently made a video while walking round Clint's Tasmanian mansion with Gladdest's song "Done With Your Ex" playing in the background. If you're not familiar with the lyrics, Gladdest sings: "If you're done with your ex, move onto the next. If you're done with your ex... The only ex I want is ex-tra money, no extra stress, no extra worries." Who is he shading? Ryan Clint isn't a big fan of his fiance's ex, and he's made that pretty clear on his socials. In a video posted to his social media account, the 44-year-old was seen strolling around his Tasmanian estate. He then looked proudly at his Porsche Macan. He captioned the clip: "POV: He wanted to be great" in reference to what Jacqui had said to Ryan on the show. Who is she shading? Jacqui Awhina Rutene and Jacqui are no longer cool. It all started when Awhina said that she thought Jacqui should have been matched with her ex Adrian Araouzou. When asked by a fan who she'd put together, Awhina replied alongside a picture of her and he son: "Adrian & Jacqui period." A MAFS fan then forwarded the whole thing to Jacqui and she's since clapped back, saying: "I feel sorry for her. And with her son in the picture?" She added: "And if speaking my truth, standing up for what I believe in and pursuing justice rubs people the wrong way - whatever - it is what it is - I don't care - that's none of my business. I genuinely couldn't care less." Who is he throwing shade at? Jamie It looked like Dave Hand could be making a sly dig at his ex Jamie Marinos. When asked by fans what he thought of her close relationship with Eliot Donovan and if they were really together, Dave replied: "I wholly doubt she's going to sleep with three cast members from this year's season," as Jamie dated Teejay Halkias before the show and was "married" to him. Who are they throwing shade at? Could be anyone at this rate Jamie and Eliot were majorly indirecting one of their cast members in a recent TikTok video. In the clip posted to Jamie's account, the pair can been seen laughing with the text: "Bestied so hard they blocked us both" written on the clip. One fan was quick to comment on the video referencing their exes: "Bye Dave! Bye Veronica!" with laughing emojis. Jamie has revealed that she no longer speaks to Dave, so could her ex be the one she's indirecting here? Married At First Sight is available to stream on

A timeline of MAFSAU's Jacqui & Clint's life since leaving the show, from a whirlwind proposal to cast feuds
Season 12 of Married At First Sight has officially ended Down Under and on E4, but we're still not quite over everything that happened on the show, and after. This season was wild, from all the feuds, to the wild dinner parties, and couple swaps, including the biggest shocker of them all - Clint and Jacqui's engagement. Speaking of Jacqui and Clint... The couple have been super active since filming for the show ended. Jacqui now lives at Clint's Tasmanian home, and they've been defending their relationship left, right and centre. Read on for a detailed timeline on what they've been up to since the show ended. Shortly after filming wrapped on season 12, Jacqui and Clint got together. Ryan claimed that they'd been speaking from before the show ended and brought this up at the reunion. In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, he said: "She admitted to me one night, she's like, 'After one night when I was really upset, I actually called Clint at 3am'. They had a conversation over the phone about her being so upset with the experiment, with me, with Rhi, with everything." He continued: "My suspicions ended up being confirmed. After that, I was like, 'You've made a joke of our time here.' Literally," he added. "I could've taken the whole bitter, jaded side and been like, 'Oh, you were messaging him while we were still together.' Which is true." Nevertheless, a producer told Yahoo! that Clint and Jacqui "grew close towards the end of filming but didn't get together until after the season wrapped". Jacqui relocated to Tasmania in early February and has since moved in with Clint at his stunning home in Riverside, accompanied by their two Samoyeds Jacqui can often be seen making social media content from the palatial property, which has its own tennis court. In March 2025, Jacqui revealed that she'd left her corporate job at a high-end law firm in New South Wales, saying that people's opinion of her on the show had left her stressed to work "for at least two years." "I essentially left my job after I tried to go back to work because I was mentally distressed and couldn't work. I've been unable to continue my career… I've been left to fend on my own, basically," she told Sky. The same month, Clint made a dig at Ryan. In a video posted to his social media account, the 44-year-old was seen strolling around his Tasmanian estate. He then looked proudly at his $200,000 Porsche Macan and captioned the clip: "POV: He wanted to be great." Clint was making a reference to a moment in season 12 when Jacqui asked Ryan why he didn't want to be "great". Since leaving the show, the couple have been very vocal. As well as the their ongoing issues with Ryan, Jacqui's had some back and forth with Awhina Rutene, after Awhina said that her husband Adrian Araouzou would have been "better matched" with Jacqui. The couple are also said to have fallen out with Katie Johnstone, who is friends with former MAFS star and The Honesty Box host Lucinda Light. Lucinda shared her support for Ryan on her Instagram, and Jacqui and Clint both contacted her to tell her why she shouldn't do that, amid Jacqui's ongoing legal battle with Ryan. Lucinda removed the post, but according to Katie, their response "triggered a clap back, dragging Lu down, pulling me into it". Katie added that she didn't understand where their beef had come from because she reached out to the couple after their engagement and told them to visit her. She added: "She's [Jacqui] accusing me of tax fraud and theft, and that's just such a crazy thing to do given that I had to liquidate because of Covid. I lost everything during Covid. "The superannuation I'm paying off, which I've almost paid off by the way, is on a payment plan so there's no fraud there, it's insanity." Clint proposed to Jacqui during a viewing party for Married At First Sight Australia in Sydney. The event was attended by approximately 150 fans and fellow cast members. "I know we signed up for MAFS to get married and find a life-long partner. So I've got one question for you," Clint said, before popping the question. Jacqui accepted the proposal with a heartfelt "Yes!" The ring? Clint presented Jacqui with a custom-made 5.08-carat oval diamond solitaire ring set in platinum and 18ct yellow gold, valued at approximately $30,000 (£22,000). Later that month, Jacqui responded to rumours she's expecting a baby. "No, we are not expecting and I am not pregnant!' she wrote in the caption over the top of her fan message. "The media have been inaccurate on a lot and I don't have time to see it all, but they should really fact check on these things when it comes to this because I know it's a sensitive topic for a lot. "Come to me for the facts about my body, and Clint and I for our relationship news." In May, Jacqui and Clint revealed that they want to start a family. During an Instagram Story Q&A session with fans, the couple were asked about their wedding plans. Jacqui then revealed that they're hoping to tie the knot next year and are already talking babies. "We haven't set a wedding date yet, but we're hoping it will be between January and March next year,' she said as the couple sat on their couch together in Clint's lavish Tasmanian home," she said in the video. "We're actually ready for kids and babies. Personally, I want to get married before I get pregnant. I don't want to be dealing with the drama of being pregnant and having a wedding dress be altered throughout my pregnancy. We're very keen to get married ASAP." In a recent interview, Clint revealed that he fancied Jacqui before he married Lauren Hall on MAFSAU. As he was a late entrant to the show, Clint got to see the other relationships that had already formed and Jacqui caught his eye straight away. Speaking to Yahoo Lifestyle, he said: "Being an intruder going into the show, my audition was still happening when the original couples were actually already married. So I saw a few spoilers of who were the brides and grooms were and I did look through them. "And right even then, Jacqui caught my attention. I obviously was going to get married to someone else I didn't know so I was fully focused on my relationship in the experiment. But to be honest, when I saw the line up before I went in there, that was when Jacqui first got my attention for sure." Jacqui said she got "really good vibes" when she first met Clint, and loved that he was the complete opposite to all the other guys in the experiment. "It was like this, this guy's cool. Like I was surrounded by people who are very extra and extroverted and outspoken. And Clint came into the experiment like modest, humble, like down to earth and had a very cool, collected, calm aura about him," she added. Cute!

An L.A. County firefighter assaulted his neighbor. But his bosses couldn't fire him
For the Los Angeles County Fire Department, it's a clear red line: firefighters cannot assault their neighbors. That's why the department fired Adam Clint, a longtime Santa Clarita fire captain, whose heated off-duty dispute with a man a few doors down landed him with a felony assault conviction. "By assaulting your neighbor and being convicted of a felony, you engaged in conduct unbecoming a fire captain," Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Ewald wrote in a January 2023 termination letter. "Your misconduct embarrassed and discredited the Department." But the Fire Department may soon have to take Clint back. In February, the L.A. County Civil Service Commission voted unanimously to reinstate Clint, 51, and award him more than two years of back pay. The commissioners found that there wasn't enough evidence to support accusations that Clint called his neighbor, who is Black, the N-word and brandished a gun before knocking him to the ground. They also found that Clint was stressed by the "aggressive" demeanor and "threatening" words of the neighbor, Robert Pope. "His misconduct on July 3, 2021 was an isolated, uncharacteristic lapse in judgment not likely to be repeated," the commission's hearing officer wrote in his report, which recommended downgrading Clint's punishment to a 30-day suspension. The Fire Department is appealing the decision, filing a petition in L.A. County Superior Court on April 14 stating that it was "well within the Department's discretion" to fire Clint. It is unclear where Clint, who took home $295,000, including benefits, the year of the assault, would be assigned if he returns to the department. Steve Haney, Clint's attorney, said his client feels deep remorse for hitting Pope but denies ever pointing a gun or calling him a racial slur. A judge reduced Clint's felony assault conviction to a misdemeanor, which was later expunged from his record. "The guy doesn't have a racist bone in his body," said Haney, who questioned why the county was spending money on outside lawyers to keep Clint out of a job. "It's a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money." In the last four years, the civil service commission has forced department heads to take back dozens of workers they had tried to fire — including sheriff's deputies, probation staffers and social workers — costing the county millions in back pay, records show. Read more: A proposal to give civilians more say in LAPD's disciplinary system could end up more lenient on officers Of the roughly 65 employees the commission has moved to reinstate since 2021, nearly two-thirds were peace officers from the Sheriff's or Probation departments, according to a review of the commission's minutes and annual reports. The commission is made up of five members, each appointed by an L.A. County supervisor, who serve for $150 a meeting. The city of Los Angeles has a similar commission, as well as Board of Rights panels for police officer discipline. The union that represents rank-and-file Los Angeles Police Department officers successfully pushed for the passage of a ballot measure allowing for more civilians on Board of Rights panels after a study showed that civilians were routinely more lenient on problem cops than their fellow police officers were. John Donner, president of the county civil service commission, said he and his colleagues typically agree with the departments' disciplinary decisions. He characterized the relationship between county departments and the commission as 'pretty civil.' In 2023, the commission upheld roughly three out of four disciplinary decisions. After Jim McDonnell became sheriff in 2014, he started suing to challenge the commission's reinstatements of deputies who had been fired for lying, saying he did not know where to assign a deputy who would lack the credibility to testify in court. Robert Luna, who has been sheriff since 2022, has not filed any petitions contesting the commission's decisions regarding his deputies, court records show. Read more: L.A. County sheriff's deputies who lied continue to draw paychecks Probation Chief Guillermo Viera Rosa has fought in court to overturn two commission decisions. One involved an employee fired in 2021 for buying a lobster lunch for a minor who wasn't on her caseload and repeatedly visiting an imprisoned gang member without approval. A judge ordered the commission in April to reconsider that decision. In the other case, which is ongoing, a deputy was fired in 2019 after video footage showed he lied about a minor beating him up. In 2022, the commission brought back probation bureau chief Hellen Carter, who was fired, in part, for lying to colleagues about being a psychiatrist, a coroner, a Pro Bass fisherman, a trauma surgeon, an Olympic swimmer, an acrobatic pilot and an Army vet who had lost 70% of her hearing from a bomb blast in Afghanistan, according to her disciplinary notice. The commission found that the decision to fire her was based on 'false and unreliable allegations.' The Probation Department sued to stop her reinstatement, saying she was a "blight and liability" and her behavior was "egregious and persistent (not quirky)." The department lost. Carter did not respond to an email. When she returned to the county in 2024, she collected more than half a million dollars in backpay, according to salary records. The neighborhood spat spiraled out of control almost immediately. On July 3, 2021, Pope's wife called him to say that Clint had just berated her for speeding on their Santa Clarita cul-de-sac. Pope said he stopped by Clint's house, and the two got into a heated argument in the doorway, culminating with the captain pointing a gun at him and yelling to "get the f— off my property," punctuated with a racial slur. Clint went inside his house and reemerged with a gun, according to Pope. As Pope retreated to his car, where his two 14-year-old stepdaughters were waiting, Clint knocked him out from behind, leaving him on the ground until he regained consciousness, Pope said. He said he later discovered a footprint-shaped bruise on his back. Clint initially denied to sheriff's deputies that he had hit Pope, but later admitted to punching him in the head. After giving a statement to the deputies that morning, Pope arrived at his sister's funeral, where he was supposed to be a pallbearer, just as everyone was leaving. Tensions between Clint's and Pope's families worsened. In 2022, Clint sued Pope and his wife, Rozanna Avetyan, as well as L.A. County, arguing that the sheriff's deputies and fire officials were biased in favor of Pope based on 'his African American Ancestry.' Clint also alleged in the lawsuit that he was not afforded due process, 'clearly due to his Caucasian race.' The case was dismissed. Pope sued a year later for battery. That case is ongoing. Pope and his wife said the family has struggled to move on from that day, becoming so reluctant to leave the house that they gave away their dogs so they wouldn't have to encounter Clint on walks. They eventually decided to move away. 'I just don't understand how he got his job back,' Pope said. 'It is just mind-blowing.'
