MAFS' Michael stands by excuse of memory loss after cheating scandal

Stacy is livid! - by Kara Byers
  • 01 Mar 2020

It’s been a tumultuous week on Married at First Sight, especially for once golden couple Michael Goonan and Stacey Hampton.

No longer sharing an apartment with Stacey, Michael stands by his story of memory loss the night of his alleged party pash with Hayley Vernon.

“I was obviously extremely intoxicated the night that these allegations are coming out,” said Michael.

“I do not trust Hayley but at the end of the day, I have to take ownership of my actions. I have always been a lad’s lad, I’ve always sort of joked at emotions, and joked at feelings and shied them off.”

Removing his wedding ring and wistfully playing with it in a number of areas of the apartment and in different positions, it was clear Michael was ruminating on his actions.

“It’s a heart-wrenching, gut feeling to think that this could be all over because of my actions,” said Michael.

Removing his wedding ring and wistfully playing with it in a number of areas of the apartment and in different positions, it was clear Michael was ruminating on his actions.

“But last night I brought tears to this gorgeous girls’ eyes, someone I love, that hit the heart,” he said.      

“It’s a heart-wrenching, gut feeling to think that this could be all over because of my actions.”

Cut to Stacey who appears to have a low level ice cold rage running through her very being.

“Right now I’m really, really upset with Michael,” she said, face frozen with pure wrath.

“I’ve left everything to be on this experiment, I’ve left my children, I’ve trusted him with everything. I have like, opened my heart up for this guy and he has thrown it in my face,” she said, before getting to the heart of the matter.

“I can’t forgive him for betraying me, we had something so genuine. He’s absolutely broken my heart, he’s made a mockery of our marriage,” said Stacey.

This week the Daily Mail reported that Stacey and Michael’s 'marriage' miraculously survives the current cheating scandal between Michael and Hayley, with pictures of the pair appearing stronger than ever afterward.

On October 20, six days after filming Wednesday's explosive dinner party last year, Stacey straddled Michael during a romantic date at Luna Park Sydney, wrapping her legs around his waist while kissing.

“I was obviously extremely intoxicated the night that these allegations are coming out,” said Michael.
