Married At First Sight‘s Paul Antoine has responded to criticism he received online after a video he posted was called ’embarrassing’ by some viewers.
The reality TV star faced criticism again after a video of him getting dressed went viral. It included a caption that read, ‘I was raised to finish my food, and I don’t care if that makes you uncomfortable.’
The video immediately caused a strong negative reaction. Many people found it arrogant and hurtful, and one person online called it painfully awkward.
Paul addressed the criticism directly in a long Instagram post, explaining that he didn’t intend for the original post to be seen as serious.
He posted that he was simply relaxing with his morning coffee and looking forward to a good day.
Paul said he was stunned the clip was still attracting attention three weeks after it was uploaded.
‘Okay, we need to have a serious chat about this,’ he continued.
Many of you probably remember the video – the short reel I posted about three weeks ago.
‘It was, you know, with that little provocative, very provocative actually caption on it.
Honestly, even three weeks after I posted it, people are still talking about it! They’re constantly resharing it and reacting to it – it’s genuinely laugh-out-loud funny to see the response it’s getting.
The MAFS groom insisted the post was meant as a joke and accused critics of overreacting.
‘Like what was it meant to be? Just a one-off joke has now turned into this,’ he said.
It seems like people are easily upset and keep sharing things just to react. It’s best to just take it easy.
It was just a silly, isolated comment. Just relax, take a break, and reconnect with reality. Maybe spend some time outdoors or try meditating. I’m not sure what will help, really.
Paul defended his video against accusations of being sexist, stating that he considers himself a feminist.
He then turned his attention to one fitness influencer who made a reaction video mocking him.
He asked, “Honestly, who looks worse here – me, or you, making a video reacting to my video?”
‘I genuinely cannot wrap my head around this grown man sitting in his room, captioning this video.’
Even though people were critical, Paul seemed to enjoy the controversy and actually told his followers to check out videos of the reactions.
He urged everyone to watch the video, describing it as incredibly funny.
He finished by questioning why people invest so much time attacking strangers online.
Paul expressed his confusion about why people would spend their time writing mean comments or getting so invested in negativity.
‘It’s like they’re taking it so personal. Just relax.’
This latest issue follows Paul’s divisive appearance on Married at First Sight last year, where his actions already sparked strong reactions from viewers.
