Harrison Boon has already been painted as the villain on this year’s season of MAFS, however, his mum has jumped to his defense and blamed the backlash on his TV wife Bronte.
If you need to be caught up to speed on the action-packed scandals that have gone down in the first two weeks of MAFS season ten, Harrison and Bronte got ‘married’ in episode one. Their elation at their match-up quickly turned to desolation once Bronte was informed by her friend and wedding guest Jessica that Harrison had been seeing a woman in the days before entering the experiment.
The woman was later revealed to be Abby Millar who competed on the most recent season of The Bachelors. When confronted by Bronte at the wedding Harrison confessed that he’d been seeing a woman that he has a “huge crush” on just before joining the experiment.
In another scandalous turn of events, shortly after the episode aired a voice recording was released that proved that Bronte knew that Harrison has been seeing someone before the wedding. In the message, Bronte said that if she happened to be matched with the groom, she would “play this up like crazy”.
However, Harrison has been depicted as the villain on the show, and his mum Noni Boon doesn’t believe his portrayal is fair.
“Harrison knew full well what he was in for when he said yes to MAFS. It has however come as a shock to learn that his ‘TV Wife’ knew his identity and the life he was living prior to the day they met and married on camera although she appears to be shocked and hurt by this ‘revealation’. What we are now seeing is indeed Bronte playing it to her advantage and amping it up for the cameras at Harrison’s expense but that’s ‘reality TV’,” Harrison’s mum Noni began in a Facebook post.
“Moving forward, know this – Harrison won’t be guilted by the ‘experts’, he won’t back down or take crap from anyone, and he will always own it if he is in the wrong and he’s perfectly ok with that as am I. Finally, may I add the word – ‘edit’. Only a very gullible and severely naive person would believe the snippet they see that has been cut and pasted is the ‘real’ Harrison Boon,” she concluded.
