Married At First Sight‘s Sara Mesa and Lauren Dunn have detailed where their relationship with Eden Harper stands after she recently claimed the pair had “double standards” in a comments section.
Last week, So Dramatic posted a video of Sara calling out Tim Calwell for an Instagram reel he posted with a sign saying “100% bitch”. In the video, his voiceover said that the sign “reminded” him of “someone”.
Below the video of Sara’s thoughts about Tim’s reel, Eden commented saying that she called MAFS costar Cassandra Allen a “c*nt” and that Lauren called Jono McCollough a “dog”, “snake” and “c*nt”.
“The double standards are laughable,” Eden said.
Lauren posted her own video saying she “was the queen of the insult” but that the issue at hand was “men with a platform perpetuating language that is violent to women”.
It was widely reported that hairdressers and makeup artists tried to keep Eden and Tori Adams separate from Lauren and Sara during filming (which was over a year ago now).
However, the recent back and forth on social media raised questions about where their relationship is right now.
Were Eden, Sara & Lauren friends while filming MAFS?
While things appeared to be friendly between Eden, Sara and Lauren in the early stages of filming the show, it was apparent that Eden and Sara’s relationship was fractured once Eden pushed Sara to reveal to Tim that she saw her ex-boyfriend during filming.
Sara told Chattr that she and Eden “were really close” at the beginning of the experiment and that they were speaking “every day on the honeymoon”.
“There were a lot of things that I shared with her,” Sara said.
“I feel like I was very close to her, and she kind of alluded to the fact that we weren’t as close as, I guess, I’m making it out to be, but we were very close.
“I think it was after the ex-boyfriend stuff came out that we yeah, we obviously weren’t gonna be friends after that.”
Eden said that her relationship with Sara started changing a few weeks into the MAFS experiment.
“We were friends at the very beginning of filming, but I began to distance myself after a few weeks when I realised that our values and behaviours didn’t align,” Eden told Chattr.
“The friendship ended when myself and Jayden [Eynaud] brought to light just a small portion of Sara’s behaviour.”
While Eden and Sara’s relationship came to an end, Lauren and Sara’s friendship grew throughout MAFS and continues to be strong after the experiment as well.
“Lauren and I, we created a friendship out of nothing that we didn’t really think was gonna happen. And that’s it. We don’t speak to anyone else but each other,” Sara said.
Where is the drama stemming from now?
When it comes to Lauren and Eden, both seemingly claim that they’ve spread misinformation about the other.
“I’ve tried to stay out of the drama with them [Sara and Lauren], but they’ve spread a lot of false stories about me through the media, most of which I just don’t talk about,” Eden claimed to Chattr.
“I have no relationship with Eden,” Lauren also confirmed.
“I don’t like the leaking of malicious, fabricated gossip to the press.”
“I wish her nothing but the best but hope she can move on with her life and just leave myself and Sara alone.
There have been too many wonderful things that have come from our time on MAFS, and that’s what we should be focusing on going forward.”
Earlier this month it was revealed that Timothy Smith and Lucinda Light are no longer friends, as well as MAFS 2023’s Tahnee Cook and Melinda Willis.
