Olajuwon has made a habit of picking unnecessary fights with his wife in Married At First Sight season 14, but none of the other newlyweds have called the husband out for his bad behavior. Olajuwon's attitude has grown more out of hand with each episode, and although it's affecting his wife, Katina's, emotional wellbeing, neither she nor the rest of the season 14 cast members have stood up to the unpopular husband. From the other couples' quest for Olajuwon's approval to producers wanting to capture the drama, here's why Married At First Sight fans think Olajuwon's behavior hasn't been called out in season 14.
Sadly, Married At First Sight's audience was skeptical of Olajuwon's odds of being a good husband from the jump. During his season 14 debut, Olajuwon garnered criticism for sharing that he expects his wife to cook and clean for him. Olajuwon also drew judgment for confessing that he didn't have the most experience being faithful in a relationship. Although he managed to win over Katina with his charm during their honeymoon, the wife was in for a rude awakening when they returned to Boston. In private and in the company of their fellow cast members, fans believe Olajuwon has demonstrated emotionally abusive actions. Unfortunately, Married At First Sight fans don't understand why Olajuwon's behavior hasn't been called out.
In the latest Married At First Sight season 14 episode, Olajuwon was angry at Katina after he discovered she had a dating app on her phone. Although Katina insisted that she forgot she still had the app downloaded on her phone, Olajuwon didn't offer his wife any chance to explain herself in between his chastising. Olajuwon began punishing Katina during a group event, which made some Married At First Sight fans wonder why none of the other cast members did anything to stand up for Katina and call Olajuwon out on his harsh behavior. Rather than get involved, fans assert that Katina's fellow season 14 newlyweds allowed Olajuwon's emotional abuse to take place. A Reddit user asked, "Why is everyone tiptoeing around [Olajuwon]!??? Call his abusive, narcissistic a** out!?" Viewers think Married At First Sight's cast and producers have a responsibility to stand up to Olajuwon.
Regrettably, Married At First Sight fans think the rest of the season 14 cast is reluctant to call Olajuwon out for his behavior because the other husbands and wives look up to him. Even though he has had complicated relationships with his co-stars like Lindsey, fans believe none of the other Married At First Sight season 14 have any interest in going against Olajuwon. One commenter explained, "Mike wants to be just like him. Steve and Noi mind their business… Mark wants [Olajuwon] to like him." Additionally, skeptics think Olajuwon might be getting away with his harmful attitude because producers think his behavior makes for compelling television. Another fan speculated, "I feel the production team [cast] people more for drama, instead of being a good match." Viewers fear that Olajuwon's behavior hasn't been called out because producers are profiting off of his controversial conduct.
Olajuwon has gotten away with treating his wife questionably in Married At First Sight season 14, and viewers fear no one will put an end to the husband's antagonistic ways. From his fellow newlyweds aspiring to be like him to the producers encouraging controversy, fans might understand why Olajuwon's behavior hasn't been called out. Hopefully, Katina will be able to stand up for herself if no one else supports her in Married At First Sight season 14.
