While it’s no secret that Married At First Sight is heavily scripted, the fact that we just learned Connie Crayden stole her final vows from Pinterest has taken things to a whole new level of embarrassment.
WATCH: Empowered’ MAFS bride Connie dumps Jonethen at final vows
The 27-year-old marine biology student ended things with her TV-husband Jonethen Musulin on Sunday night’s episode, with a very empowering speech about ‘finding herself’.
Connie told Jonethen she had kept him in the experiment while he kept writing ‘leave’ for herself, not for them.
“Although I didn’t find love with you, I found something so much more important. Something so valuable. I found that I am brave, I am strong, I am confident, and I am worthy. Ultimately, I’ve found myself,” Connie explained.
“Standing in front of you is a confident and proud woman who now understands her worth in this world. The only love and approval I need is from myself. I became the love I was searching for – but I could never have done any of this without you.”
Connie’s ‘heartfelt’ words have since been found on Pinterest and Tumblr.
A post on Pinterest includes the words “I am…” with many of the words Connie used.
Another post reads, “I love, accept and approve of myself”, which is pretty similar to Connie’s quote: “The only love and approval I need is from myself.”
And viewers weren’t fooled either, with many taking to social media to slam producers for ‘feeding’ Connie lines.
“Nice work with Connie’s vows, producer,” one fan tweeted.
“Hmm… wondering if the producers made Connie stay every week just so she could give that speech at the end,” another wrote.
“The producers reaaallly trying to sell us this Connie empowerment narrative, huh?”
