‘I don’t lie’: MAFS’ Adrian reveals what Jacqui is really like when the cameras aren’t around

MAFS Australia bride Jacqui is certainly a character, and if you’ve spent any time on TikTok or Reddit, you’ve probably come across people questioning whether she’s really that crazy, or whether the show makes her look that way.

We watch reality TV for the messy characters, and there’s arguably no one messier than Jacqui Burfoot on season 12 of MAFS Australia. Over the course of literal months, we’ve seen our Jacqui fake her house during homestays, make a series of claims about her business acumen and intelligence, so much fake crying, and just recently, a marriage proposal from someone else’s groom. Love her or hate her, she’s pretty much the most iconic cast member on season 12.

Though Jacqui has commented on her messy antics on numerous occasions, fellow cast member Adrian Araouzou has now posted a video on the subject.

Okay, so is Jacqui really crazy outside of MAFS?

On TikTok this week, Adrian pondered one burning question that he claims is the “most common” one he gets in public: Is Jacqui really like this?

“No matter how much Jacqui tries to defend herself and says that is not what she’s like, I can tell you as someone who was there first hand, that is exactly what she was like in person,” he said. “I’ll tell you a funny little story.”

Recalling a particularly strange interaction during the filming of MAFS Australia, Adrian’s twin brother James dropped him and Awhina off at the cast apartments.

“No joke, she and Ryan were literally fighting, it was like the end of their relationship, and then, as we pulled up, we saw them two holding hands,” he said. “I turned around, and Jacqui and Ryan were literally dancing in the streets.”

He also noted how Jacqui would cry “at least 15 times” during every single commitment ceremony, so “when she’s on the internet saying that’s not her, it was 100 per cent her and I don’t lie.”

But ultimately, Jacqui Burfoot is “cool as” and Adrian thought well of her during the experiment, craziness included.
