EXCLUSIVE MAFS 2025 cast hit with strict new curfew in scathing leaked email from producers after 'disrespectful' and 'selfish' couple went missing during filming Do you have a tip about MAFS? Email [email protected] By Ali Daher For Daily Mail Australia Published: 03:46, 19 September 2024 | Updated: 04:19, 19 September 2024 e-mail View comments The latest season of Married At First Sight has already been rife with drama, but it's not just on-screen antics causing a stir.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal producers have imposed a strict new curfew on the 2025 cast after several participants were labelled 'disrespectful' and 'selfish' for disappearing during filming. This decision follows an incident in which one couple went missing mid-shoot, causing chaos for the production crew. The cast, who were initially given a curfew of 10pm on weeknights and 11pm on weekends, are now facing even stricter rules.
According to a leaked email sent to the cast from the production team, the new curfew times have been moved up to 8pm on Fridays and Sundays, and 9pm on Saturdays. This change comes after the couple ignored curfew, ceasing communication with production and failing to return to their apartments on Saturday night. An insider claimed that the cast members have restricted access to the hotel they're staying in.
'Their keys don't work after a certain time, so they need to inform the house AP [Associate Producer] to let them in; otherwise, they will be stuck outside,' the insider explained. Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Married At First Sight producers have imposed a strict new curfew on the 2025 cast after several participants were labelled 'disrespectful' and 'selfish' for disappearing during filming (Pictured: Awhina Rutene and Adrian Araouzou) 'It's a way of trying to keep the cast behaving and stop them from coming in and out as they please.' The email from production expresses the frustration and disappointment with the participants' actions.
It reads, 'Unfortunately, over the weekend two participants decided to cease communication with production on Saturday night and not return to the apartments by curfew - let alone at all.' This decision follows an incident where one couple went missing during filming, causing chaos for the production crew (Pictured: Dave Thomas and Jamie Marinos) The couple allegedly ignored curfew, ceasing communication with production and failing to return to their apartments on Saturday night (Pictured: Billy Belcher and Sierah Swepstone) The message goes on to detail how this 'selfish decision' impacted over 15 crew members on their Saturday evening and into the early hours of Sunday morning, with the Nine Network being informed of the breach. The curfew is not just a measure of control but also an essential part of maintaining the production's schedule and ensuring the safety of all participants.
The production crew must keep track of the cast to avoid any unforeseen incidents and to manage the show's narrative effectively. The cast, who were initially given a curfew of 10 pm on weeknights and 11 pm on weekends, are now facing even stricter rules (Pictured: Jeff Gobbles looking downcast after new rules) According to a email sent to the cast from the production team, the new curfew times have been moved up to 8 pm on Fridays and Sundays, and 9 pm on Saturdays This level of control helps to prevent any off-camera drama that could derail the storyline or result in negative publicity. 'The complete disregard to this production's guidelines to ensure all participants remain safe whilst in our care, as well as the utter disrespect to my crew and their weekend, has meant the below changes will need to be enforced,' stated the email.
The message also highlighted the lack of remorse from the participants involved, stating, 'At this stage, my team are yet to receive an apology, let alone any kind of remorse, which quite frankly is disappointing.' A number of different brides and grooms were spotted looking glum inside their apartment just moments after the scathing email was sent to cast The new curfew times are a clear message to the cast that they need to adhere to the guidelines they signed up for, emphasising mutual respect between the participants and the production crew. As the email states, 'For those who do respect the rules and share a mutual respect with this crew and production, it's a shame you will be impacted by these actions taken over the weekend.
' The rest of the cast were understandably not impressed with the new restrictions, telling Daily Mail Australia it was 'complete b*****t' and 'not fair'.
