Married At First Sight bride Brook Crompton has shared why she won’t be attending the TV show’s reunion.

The special edition episode will air this Sunday night, and will feature several 2026 cast members to talk about the season.

The 27-year-old Queenslander abruptly left the experiment following a dramatic dinner party where she ripped into multiple people and her behaviour was labelled “disgusting”.

A poll of nearly 2,800 Yahoo Lifestyle viewers found an overwhelming 97 per cent thought she went “too far” that night.

Many have been wondering whether she would come back and face the music and now she’s spoken out.

“In the lead-up [to the reunion], I was contacted multiple times by producers via email and phone, encouraging me to attend,” she said on Instagram.

“I was also advised that my onscreen husband would not be present.

“However, at that point in my life, I had just found out that Harry and I were expecting our first child.”

Brook explained that returning to that environment “was not in my best interest”, so she turned down the offer.

“It had previously brought out a side of me I wasn’t proud of, and I knew I needed to prioritise my wellbeing,” she added.

“My focus was, and always will be, protecting myself, my partner, and our baby. For that reason, I chose not to attend.

“The information I was given only reinforced for me that stepping away from the experiment was the right decision. I stand by my choice and hope that provides some clarity.”

Shortly after Brook’s departure from the Channel 9 show, it was revealed that she was pregnant after getting back together with her ex-partner.

They’re expecting their baby later this year and are now also engaged.

What did Brook do on MAFS that was so controversial?

During that fiery dinner party episode, Brook yelled at Alissa and asked whether the nurse’s parents would be proud of her for how she acted on the show.

She also called Alissa a “ratchet b***h”, and in unseen footage aired on Stan’s After The Dinner Party, Brook went even harder on the bride.

“I know for a fact everyone will watch this show and see that Alissa is a fake f***ing bitch with those rat-s**t hair extensions,” she said.

Brook then turned her sights to fellow bride Stella for complaining at the commitment ceremony that not everyone was happy for her and Filip’s strong bond.

The model then targeted groom Danny, and said she could drop a bombshell that would ruin his marriage.

Brook released an apology after the episode had aired and said her behaviour wasn’t acceptable.

“The past few episodes of Married At First Sight was an extremely difficult watch,” she said.

“What you saw last night was the worst version of myself, and unfortunately Alissa and Stella were on the receiving end of that.

“I want to firstly, sincerely apologise to Alissa and Stella for my words and the hurt that I have caused.

“My actions were appalling and not at all a reflection of the kindness and respect that you both deserve and I hope in time you can forgive me. I am truly sorry.”
