Olajuwon has been slammed as the worst husband featured in Married At First Sight season 14, but some fans think the spouse might not be as responsible for his controversial behavior as he seems to be. In the latest season 14 episode, Olajuwon shocked viewers with his explosive reaction to learning his wife, Katina, had a dating app downloaded on his phone. From allegations that Olajuwon wasn't really looking at Katina's phone on the bus to the experimental dating show's alumni claiming the series is fake, here's why Married At First Sight fans think Olajuwon's outburst was staged.
Olajuwon has had a perplexing journey throughout Married At First Sight, which has made it difficult for some viewers to assess how much of the new husband's actions are genuine or influenced by producers. When Olajuwon made his season 14 debut, for instance, he demonstrated himself to be a villain right away. By confessing that he had cheated on all of his previous girlfriends and insisting that his future will be required to cook and clean for him, viewers had all the reason in the world to unite against Olajuwon. Once on his honeymoon, however, Olajuwon got along with Katina, inciting some hope for the couple's relationship. While viewers were stunned by the couple's latest arguments, some fans think Olajuwon's outburst was staged.
Unfortunately, Olajuwon and Katina's honeymoon stage didn't last long in Married At First Sight season 14. After returning to Boston, Olajuwon started acting as the misogynist fans assessed him to be during his introduction. Olajuwon told Katina she might not be woman enough for her due to her reluctance to cook for him and, most recently, Olajuwon yelled at Katina for having a dating app on her phone. Olajuwon was labeled emotionally abusive for shouting at his wife and putting her down instead of giving her a chance to explain herself. Olajuwon even warned the Married At First Sight camera crew to back off during the heat of the couple's altercation. While many viewers were shocked by the volatile display, others claim it was an inauthentic moment curated by Married At First Sight's producers. A Reddit user pointed out, "[Olajuwon] was fine... and only exploded at the end of the dinner... as if on cue."
By yelling at Katina, Olajuwon proved himself to be one of Married At First Sight season 14's greatest villains. While some viewers think Olajuwon's unstable behavior is the result of his emotionally abusive approach to his marriage, others think Olajuwon's actions were more of a performance. Some fans believe Olajuwon's outburst was staged because of the phone he looked at on the bus. A commenter explained, "The phone they showed [Olajuwon] looking through on the bus was not the phone [Katina] gave him when he asked to see her phone." Sleuths think Olajuwon might have been handed a prop phone to react to instead of Katina's actual phone. Other viewers believe Olajuwon might have been acting because former Married At First Sight stars have discussed the producers' influence. A fan recalled, "Bao & Johnny... both said the show was extremely scripted."
Olajuwon and Katina's marriage appears to be on the brink of collapse in Married At First Sight season 14, but some viewers claim that the pair don't have any real issues to work through. From Olajuwon's erratic behavior to Johnny and Bao's confession that Married At First Sight is scripted, fans think Olajuwon's outburst was staged. Although viewers typically believe everything that happens in Married At First Sight is genuine, fans can only hope Olajuwon's explosive personality is fake.
