Married At First Sight’s Tayla Winter slams Channel Nine as she claims ‘unfavourable edit’

Tayla Winter has come to Channel Nine swinging, claiming she was misrepresented and trapped in her hotel during her time on Married At First Sight.

The TV Bride, who appeared in the 2023 season, narrated The Daily Telegraph she didn’t recognize herself on the show because of the way she was edited.

“You prepare for an unfavorable montage, but you still think you have some control over how you’re portrayed,” she said.

“Removing the context cuts and pastes your audio to create conversations,” Tayla continued.

“Your facial expressions and your reactions are something very different from what actually happened.”

Tayla also claims she was not allowed to leave Sydney’s Sky Suites during parts of the filming schedule.

“The first three days in Sky Suites I was told not to leave the apartment. I felt like I was going crazy,” she said.

The 27-year-old claims she called her mother to tell her she was locked up in the hotel because of the “controlled” filming schedule.

“She said, ‘Tayla, you can leave, they can’t physically hold you there,'” she explained.

Among her allegations, the reality star says producers asked her to “make certain facial expressions” that were then taken out of context.

She also claims that participants were not protected from online bullying and harassment and were “gagged” when the network took control of the participants’ social media accounts.

A Nine spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph that psychological support was available to all participants.

“Nine also has an additional service for participants if they want or need more individualized and confidential psychological support,” she said.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for further comment.

In April, Tayla went rogue, letting cameras into her Sydney hotel to film her at her most vulnerable, just hours before the series finale.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Australia, the Hobart nurse opened up about her heartbreaking experience on the show, being isolated by her co-stars and the truth about the Cam Woods sexting scandal.

Tayla sat on her hotel bed without makeup and collapsed when she revealed her fear.

“I’m smearing my face with ice because I’m so swollen from crying all night,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“This show, this experiment… I can’t. It’s cruel. My mind just doesn’t feel like it’s any good after that.

‘I’m not an emotional person. I’m not going broke. What they have done is unreal. I don’t understand how they can…”

Visibly upset and fending off a panic attack, Tayla confided, “I just don’t know what the storyline they’re going for… and if everyone’s coming to get me over this stupid thing [alleged scandal with Cam].’

She emphasized her strong moral compass and honesty throughout the show, even when it led to backlash.

The star revealed that some of the contestants would act differently on and off camera, leaving her feeling confused and betrayed.

Tayla said the hardest battle on MAFS was the manipulation and twisting of her words, which made her feel like she couldn’t trust anyone.

“That constant feeling that I don’t know if I can trust anyone or say anything because it’s going to be manipulated. And that’s what happened to me many times,” she explained.

“It was like it was taken completely out of context or like rumors would start from nowhere. And it was hard because I just felt like half the time I couldn’t even project what I wanted to say.”

She also alleges that participants were not protected from online bullying and harassment and were “gagged” when the network took control of the participants’ social media accounts.
