A MAFS producer has revealed that the infamous “butt dial” between Rupert and Evelyn was fake, and said that the model is a “producer’s puppet”.

The unnamed producer shared the startling admission with So Dramatic! podcast host Megan Pustetto. The pair were chatting about recent events in which Dan, who is paired with Sandy on the show, was overheard trash-talking his wife when fellow groom Rupert “butt-dialled” his wife Evelyn during a boy’s night out. she confronted Dan about the call in last night’s episode, and he repeatedly denied the events.

However, a producer has now vouched for Dan, and confirmed that the “butt-dial” didn’t actually happen.

“Dan sh*t-talks Sandy to some of the guys on a boozy night out off-camera. We find out via one of the intruders grooms Rupert,” the producer told the podcast.

They continued, “Alex and Molly [the head producers of MAFS] orchestrate a fake ‘butt-dial’ situation where one of the brides Evelyn overhears the conversation at the bar.

“Evelyn agreed because she was essentially a producer’s puppet, happy to do whatever they needed her to do in return for favourable airtime.”

The producer added that the confession scene between Evelyn Claire and Claire, which played out in a recent episode was fake, too.

“A fake confession scene was set up with Evelyn, Claire [Nomarhas] and Sandy to expose Dan’s boys’ chat,” they explained.

“Sandy arms some of the other brides with the information, with Evelyn taking the lead to do her dirty work and go after Dan at the Dinner Party. Dan gets epically blindsided by the brides.”

This morning, Evelyn blasted Dan on radio, calling him a “real piece of shit” and claiming that he had “three girlfriends” during the show.

The hosts were left in shock at Evelyn’s revelation and happily welcomed a call from Dan to ask him if Evelyn’s claims were accurate.

“Dan, is it true?,” Kyle asked. “While you’re married and had a beautiful Indian girl who was trying to show her parents that an Indian girl can marry outside of the Indians. And her father was worried, were you really stabbing three other hotties outside the house?”

The MAFS groom jokingly responded, “I’ve had enough with these stories, absolutely not. No, it was actually five, not three.”

He then clarified These stories are just ridiculous and it’s getting out of hand, it’s absolutely not true. No, I was 100% faithful inside the experiment.
