The internet is rallying behind Married At First Sight’s literal daddy Anthony after Selin appeared to belittle him in Thursday night’s episode.
In case you missed it, Anthony claimed in the episode that Selin called him a “princess” off-screen for being emotionally vulnerable. He then called her a bully.
“When I say I’m vulnerable, she says that’s very confronting for her,” he told producers in the episode.
“When the cameras are off she’s a different person. She says ‘oh you’re gonna have a little cry, a boo hoo’, sort of goading me.
“It’s not compassionate, it’s not caring. I should be able to be myself without being belittled about it.”
The two clearly weren’t a right fit for each other. Anthony packed his bag and walked out of their honeymoon pad in Berry, NSW on the morning after their big fight right at the end of the episode.
Honestly it kinda feels like Anthony deserves better than this?
“If I have to define who I am, I’m a father,” he said on Sunday’s episode.
“Everything I’ve done in my life, my daughter is my ticket into heaven.”
Everyone online appears to be readying their pitchforks against Selin and offering themselves up as a bridal substitute for MAFS’ resident DILF (Me included).
“The DILF is trying to be genuine and vulnerable and Selin calls him a pussy in return”, said one user live tweeting during the pair’s final fight.
Another echoed Anthony’s comments in Thursday night’s ep and suggested he “dump her and go back to [his] daughter”.
Here are some of the other best tweets from the night.
The DILF is trying to be genuine and vulnerable and Selin calls him a pussy in return! #MAFS #MAFSAU

Here we were thinking Tamara was this season's biatch.
Selin had other ideas. #MAFS #MAFSAU

Selin is gaslighting Anthony so badly. She is the epitome of someone who wants a good man but pushes one away when she gets one #MAFS #MAFSAU #MarriedAtFirstSight

If what Anthony says about Selin away from the cameras is true, then that's really disgraceful and totally unacceptable.
It's belittling, and nasty.#MAFS #mafsau— VišnjaCreates (@VisnjaCreates) February 3, 2022
Selin is a bully. Dump her and go back to your daughter Anthony #MAFS #MAFSAU

Did Anthony just say "When the cameras are off Selin says "You're gonna have a cry when they turn on the cameras"?

Women who emasculate men need to stop. Selin calling Anthony "Princess" in a derogatory sense and saying "go have a boo hoo" is not cool. Men are allowed to feel vulnerable, to feel worried or scared. Not allowing that causes all manner of problems. #Mafs #MAFSAustralia

Before you sharpen those blades and aim them at Selin, let’s all make a vow not to attack the woman on social media yeah? Reality TV is what it is and nobody who’s on it should be harassed online.
Now back to the matter at hand: sweet, wholesome daddy Anthony. People were celebrating the MAFS bloke for being a shining example of a man who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable. I guess being a single dad to a daughter will do that.
I actually think it was a really big move for a man to recognise that a conflict won’t get resolved at the moment and decide to calmly explain how he feels and bounce instead of punch a hole in the wall.
This man and his sweet dad energy just might have ended toxic masculinity. Or so these tweets appeared to say.
Seriously; Anthony is a sensitive man and genuinely cares for his autistic daughter, does he really need to be subjected to this? #mafs #mafsau pic.twitter.com/IBBEkBMX19

Why the hell is this show full of emotional fuckwits? It’s also entirely gorgeous to see a man be vulnerable #MAFSAU #MAFS

Anthony should go back to the daughter he should never have left for this nonsense. #MAFS #MAFSAU

Others online felt that Anthony was forcing a sense of intimacy between him and Selin and that she “clearly feels uncomfortable”. It’s also worth noting that there are only a couple of tweets that said this and that very few of them were liked by others.
He's forcing intimacy. She clearly feels uncomfortable.
