Aspiring singer, TV presenter and Married First Sight star Drew Brauer, has accused his wife KC of signing up for the show for ‘fame’.
He also slammed her use of Botox, lip fillers and her choice to have breast implants.
On Sunday night’s episode, KC revealed all to the show’s experts, after he called out John, Mel and Trisha for disregarding his spouse specifications as per his application.
MUST WATCH: MAFS’ Drew says ‘materialistic’ KC isn’t what he asked for: ‘She’s not my type’
‘I don’t feel like he’s compromising,’ KC told the group at Sunday night’s commitment ceremony.
‘He’s just seeing me a certain way,’ she said, days after he said he didn’t want his future children enhancing their looks the way KC has.
‘He keeps telling me I’m not his type. That hurt me because I was like, how am I not your type? We are really attracted to each other, we do have chemistry. He’s like, “I’m just confused because when I came into this experiment. I told the experts what wasn’t my type. That is superficial, materialistic, Instagram girl.” And he said, “I’m not saying you’re all of those things, but you’re some of those things.” That was insulting to me,’ she said, tears welling in her eyes.
Drew didn’t deny his harsh words. ‘What I said was… a few of the conversations we’ve had, you’re probably not my type. It was a hard truth, but it was true.’
Expert John Aiken cut in, ‘Why is it that she’s not your type?’
Drew replied: ‘It was the materialistic thing.’
‘What do you mean by materialistic? What’s your definition of that?’ Lizzie asked from her couch.
‘People that hold up an image just to please other people,’ he replied.
‘And you think that she does that?’ Lizzie quizzed.
‘Yeah, I definitely do think she comes from that world,’ he explained. ‘In my life, I’ve made a conscious effort to stay away from that world and now I’ve been, kind of, thrown into it. Her idea of a relationship is being a kept woman.
‘I don’t care about fame or money and stuff. They’re not my values.’
Viewers need to be reminded that Drew is an aspiring singer who has released a number of ‘singles’ as well as appeared in a series of online travel shows.
Also, he signed up to marry a stranger on national television. Meanwhile, KC had a successful career in the US as a Pussycat Doll, and has now returned home to Oz where she wants to find her soul mate while continuing to run her own dance school business.
KC was hurt and in tears. ‘Get to know me. My values are love, kindness, family, being honest. All of that stuff. I turned to him the other day and said, I am lovable, you know? He pin-points all the things that are wrong.’
John turned to Drew. ‘Drew, what do you say to that?’
‘I’m trying to think of us in 10 years or my kids and how I want them to grow up with values…’
‘Let me jump in, she thinks you don’t like her,’ John said.
‘Yeah, well I do like you,’ Drew replied, turning to KC.
Expert Mel Shilling asked KC, ‘KC, do you have romantic feelings for him?’
‘Yeah, I do… there’s some doubt,’ she admitted. ‘I’ve never had a guy pick on these things about me before. So I’m kind of like, what’s the right way for me to handle it.’
The couple chose to stay.
