Married At First Sight’s final dinner party didn’t disappoint as Lauren Dunn held husband Jono McCullough accountable for texting another bride behind her back.
The outrage was sparked by Jono’s behind-the-scenes text exchanges with fellow bride Ellie Dix, and Lauren, armed with a mixture of hurt and fury, didn’t pull any punches.
It was Sara Mesa who lit the fuse by raising a toast to Jono’s text scandal with Ellie, setting the stage for a tumultuous evening.
As the Honesty Box made its rounds, the group zeroed in on Jono, who squirmed under the interrogation about his messaging misdemeanors.
Lauren seized the moment to confront Jono head-on, demanding to know where she fell short in his eyes.

Jono, cornered and defensive, scrambled to explain himself but ended up implying Lauren was partly to blame for the situation.
In a back-and-forth that had the dinner party attendees on the edge of their seats, Jono attempted to express regret, stating, ‘I didn’t realise it would hurt you, and then now that I’ve found out it did hurt you, that’s my biggest regret.’
But his words fell flat, with Jack prompting Jono to admit that a partnership with Ellie might have been less fraught.

This confession was the last straw for Lauren.
In a scathing retort, Lauren unleashed a tirade, branding Jono as disingenuous and a farce.
‘You’re the fakest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. Honestly, you are a joke. Bulls**t,’ she declared, her words cutting through the pretense.
Her parting words encapsulated the evening’s bitter sentiments, ‘You’re such a fake person.
‘This is not how I wanted tonight to go… I’m feeling annoyed and pissed off. I’m just like, yeah, nothing, to be honest.’
