MAFS’ Matthew Bennett slams ex-‘wife’ Lauren Huntriss for sending constant ‘abusive’ text messages

‘I’ve asked her to stop contacting me’: MAFS’ Matthew Bennett claims ex-‘wife’ Lauren Huntriss has been sending him constant angry text messages since the show… as he debuts new girlfriend Annabelle

MAFS’ 29-year-old ex-virgin Matthew Bennett has come out swinging against his ex-‘wife’ Lauren Huntress, accusing her of sending a barrage of angry text messages since their widely-televised split. 

In his first interview since leaving the experiment, the videographer appeared on Nova’s Fitzy And Wippa this Thursday to discuss his acrimonious fall-out with the blonde, as well as to debut his new girlfriend Annabelle.

‘There’s been relentless contact towards me and I actually asked her to stop contacting me a couple of weeks ago,’ he claimed, when asked whether he’s been in touch with Lauren since filming the show.

When asked whether Lauren seemed aggressive and upset in the messages, Matt said ‘yes’.

Matt claimed he began receiving Lauren’s messages before MAFS went to air, and that the content of the texts had nothing to do with the way they were being portrayed on the show.  

Rubbing salt into Lauren’s wounds, Matt also used the interview as an opportunity to debut his new girlfriend Annabelle, who he met not long after leaving MAFS last year. 

Things are getting ugly! When asked whether Lauren seemed aggressive and upset in the messages, Matt said yes, adding: 'The context of the message is basically, to put it bluntly- it's abuse. That's all it is'

‘It’s ironic, I got everything I asked for in the experiment, I just had to leave the experiment to get it,’ he mused when quizzed about his new love story. 

British-born Annabelle revealed she met Matt at wrestling training in December, and has still never watched MAFS. 

The brunette beauty also revealed that Matt told her he was starring on MAFS by showing her an advertisement for the show, in which he was seen running through a hedge maze looking for a bride.

‘We started getting on and he showed me a video of [the MAFS contestants] running through mazes and I’m like, ‘What is this, a gardening show?’ 

‘It’s a bit weird’, she explained when asked how it feels to be dating a reality star.  

Matt’s interview comes just days after Lauren took several stabs at him during an interview with the Kyle And Jackie O Show.

During the in-depth discussion, Lauren claimed Matt failed to ‘stand up for her’ when producers asked her to say things she wasn’t comfortable saying.  

The blonde also claimed that Matt’s affection toward her on-screen was always prompted by producers and never came naturally.

‘He’s admitted to me that he’s not capable of feeling affection, he was never shown affection and he doesn’t know how to give affection,’ she said.
