Former Married at First Sight bride Scarlett Cooper appears to have launched an unexpected attack—on her former ally Jacqui Burfoot. Once seen defending Jacqui in emotional videos against Ryan Donnelly, Scarlett has now seemingly done a complete 180. A mocking Instagram video posted to Scarlett’s now-private account left fans speechless.
“Was she just pretending this whole time?” one Redditor asked, echoing the disbelief rippling across the fandom. Scarlett’s video seemed taunting and dismissive of Jacqui’s past claims. This led many to wonder if Scarlett’s support for Jacqui was just a cruel prank.
Scarlett’s Instagram, now under the handle @HollywoodBlond, was switched to private shortly after the fallout. Fans suggest the sudden lockdown may confirm the feud rumors. “Geez…talk about mood whiplash,” one commenter exclaimed.

Fans are now struggling to make sense of the dizzying timeline. Scarlett had shared TikToks with chilling captions such as “see the harsh truth of living with a violent stalker and abuser.”” These videos reportedly showed a masked man allegedly stalking her. But when those same posts turned into apparent shade toward Jacqui, confusion erupted.
Jacqui, reacting furiously on her own platform, hinted she felt blindsided. One now-deleted post reportedly read, “Can someone please take care of him,” referring to Ryan. The emotional temperature soared. As one fan bluntly put it: “This is absolute insanity!”
Meanwhile, backlash spread across Reddit and Instagram like wildfire. “Who even is she? I’ve watched every season of MAFS & never seen her,” questioned one Instagram user. Another mocked the attention-seeking behavior: “She hooked up with Ryan. He asked her not to post stuff. She didn’t get her way so she’s throwing a tantrum.”

As the drama unfolded, Ryan Donnelly reportedly gave his side of the story to Daily Mail, igniting even more backlash. Some fans began defending him, stating, “Say what you like about Ryan, but it is honestly tragic that these deranged people are having a public breakdown and dragging Ryan through the mud in the process.”
Another added, “These people are making a mockery of actual DV victims… It’s awful.” The shifting narratives have painted Ryan as everything from an abuser to a misunderstood victim caught in a fame-fueled war between two unstable exes.
The online sentiment is increasingly hostile. “She blocked him to stop him texting her, now she’s unblocked him to say sorry? If he’s that bad I would never unblock him,” one shocked commenter wrote. Another asked, “Is she saying Ryan broke her arm and has a restraining order on him but still wants to talk to him?” The contradictions have left viewers exhausted and suspicious.

Viewers on Reddit and Instagram are increasingly frustrated with the ongoing chaos. “It’s a crime against humanity,” one user joked. Another wished, “they’d all lose access to the internet and fade off into oblivion.”
The comments have turned savage. “Someone trying to stay relevant in the spotlight,” remarked one critic. “Looney Tunes lol,” wrote another. And yet, others sympathized with the confusion, saying, “I can’t make sense of this saga anymore.”
