Married At First Sight’s Olivia Frazer has spoken out against reality TV, claiming that she believes there should be a reform.

The former school teacher appeared on MAFS in 2022, and was partnered with Jackson Lonie. While she was on the show she was involved in a long-running feud with Domenica Calarco.

Olivia was largely considered a villain in her season, and while she gained a huge amount of social media followers, she experienced a lot of backlash on the platform too.

Following Married At First Sight’s Logie nomination for Best Structured Reality Program, Olivia took to her stories to express her opinion on Australian reality TV.

“I vote for reality TV reform in Australia. I vote for it to be regulated, fair portrayals,” she wrote.

“I vote for participants’ right of reply while airing — no mandatory Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).

“I vote for transparency. No producers coming forward saying, ‘Reality TV is reality’. No, admit it’s just entertainment, extremely edited and not accurate.

“I vote for no more reality TV participants (or their friends or family) coming off of any reality show — especially MAFS — losing their jobs, losing their reputation [and] being subjected to extreme amounts of abuse.”

It’s not the first time Olivia has called out MAFS

After MAFS finished airing, Olivia went on to have a very lucrative career as an OnlyFans creator, revealing that she made half a million dollars in four months on the platform.

However, despite the financial leg up the show has given her, it’s not the first time that Olivia’s called out MAFS.

Back in August 2023, she told her Instagram followers that she believes her edit was what ended her relationship with Jackson.

“I really think if the show never aired or if it aired accurately, we’d probably still be together,” she said, in an Instagram Q&A at the time. “But alas, it did, and it really put too much pressure on our relationship, as strong as it was.”
