At the time, they were arguing and staying in separate hotel rooms because Hayley had joked about David’s $25 hourly wage as a truck driver.

‘Her idea of being a reformed drug addict is her saying, “I don’t do any hard drugs any more,”‘ David said in the 11-minute video. 

‘They’ve matched me with a smoking, drug addict, tall woman that is inconsiderate and rude. I am looking forward to taking the experts to task when I see them because they don’t know f**king s**t.’

David continued: ‘Who the f**k do they think they are? It’s just bizarre that they think that was a person that I would fall in love with.

‘I wouldn’t buy the girl a f**king drink at the bar let alone marry her. They couldn’t organise a f**king root in a brothel, let me tell ya.’
