Much to the relief of many fans, Juliette and Joel have officially exited Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2026 after Juliette’s behaviour towards her partner and fellow participants sparked backlash.
But Joel has revealed that her vitriol towards him didn’t stop when she walked out of the Commitment Ceremony, revealing that Juliette sent him a ‘vile’ text shortly after they wrapped filming.
“The day after we left the show, she sent me this vile, abusive message blaming me for everything,” Joel told Chattr.
He explained that he messaged her to check in, but her response was brutal. She fired back with a scathing text claiming no woman would ever willingly subject herself to the kind of “torture” she believes he put her through.
“Gia just called me to tell me how fucking vile you were about me yesterday and how you just completely threw me under the bus,” Juliette’s text began.
“When the night before, we were extremely intimate and you backed me completely about how vile Bec’s comments were. You loved how I planned to expose her with the texts until you realised I was being made the martyr, and if you backed me, you’d go down with me, which is when you switched up quickly. That was a reflection of the first commitment ceremony.”
Joel stressed that despite Juliette’s wording in the text, the couple never had sex. She rounded out her message to her former MAFS hubby by telling Joel he’ll end up alone.
“I think you should take a good, hard look at yourself. You made me feel so vulnerable, and after we were intimate, you turned on me the next day. I hope you know that no woman will ever subject herself to this type of torture that you’ve put me through. You were raised by such an amazing woman; I hopelessly expected more.”
MAFS’ Joel reveals where he and Juliette stand now
It’s bad news for any Joel and Juliette shippers out there — if they even exist — as the MAFS groom has told Chattr there’s absolutely no relationship between the two now. He said that as soon as he received the above text from Juliette, he blocked her, and hasn’t spoken to her since.
“In real life, now she’s blocked, and she does not have any access to me, and she will never have any access to me. I will never speak a word to her ever again. She doesn’t exist to me in the outside world,” he said.
“Read and block! Read, screenshot, block, goodbye forever,” he added. “I’m not going to respond to her, she doesn’t deserve a f**king word out of me.”
