MAFS star Harrison Boon hits back at trolls after being compared to Satan
MAFS star Harrison Boon hits back at trolls after being compared to SATAN, while discussing the mental health toll of being a reality TV ‘villain’.
Harrison Boon is arguably the main “villain” of this year’s season of MAFS, and he has opened up about how this portrayal has affected his mental health.
The 32-year-old father-of-one, who is associated with Bronte Schofield, said it has been “strange” to see his story as he believes he has been “compared to Satan” in publishing.
Despite having a good support network, he said yahoo lifestyle trolling on social media has been difficult to process.
“I think the thing about things online is that people don’t have any real respect for your private life,” he said.
“The hardest thing for me is seeing my parents and my son in the media in a negative light.”

Harrison added that without the support of the other MAFS boyfriends, who know what he’s going through, his mental health would be in a much worse position.
“The communication between the guys in the group chat is great,” he said.
“Having peers that you can laugh at yourself with, especially the guys you spent it with, it’s almost like everything the public says is irrelevant because we have such a strong and close bond and we definitely enjoy the banter and the rivalry.”
Despite having a good support network, he told Yahoo Lifestyle that trolling on social media has been difficult to process.
Harrison said it’s hard to gauge how audiences will react to contestants before the show airs, so he didn’t expect the level of hate it’s received.
“You’re just going through it and then when you come out and see that you’ve been compared to Satan, it’s a strange experience,” he said.
‘I don’t know how the hair and makeup managed to hide the horns for so long. It’s a little different to find out you’re the villain of the season.

Harrison said that the way certain events play out seem much more dramatic on screen than they actually were in person, but he understands that the producers of MAFS need to “maximize the drama” to make an “entertaining” and commercially viable show.
