Married At First Sight groom Joel Moses has\u00a0revealed he reached breaking point while filming the Channel Nine show.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Daily Mail, Joel, 31, admitted that the ongoing conflict with bride Juliette Chae left him emotionally drained.<\/p>\n

‘When you’re around darkness like that for weeks on end, the darkness consumes you and it does dim your light,’ he explained.<\/p>\n

The groom recently shocked viewers when he chose to write ‘leave’ during the tense couch session with the experts.<\/p>\n

But Joel insists the decision was about protecting his dignity.<\/p>\n

‘It wasn’t an easy decision because I was enjoying being on the show and enjoying being on camera and enjoying the whole circus of it really,’ he said.<\/p>\n

\"Married <\/p>\n

Married At First Sight groom Joel Moses has revealed he reached breaking point while filming the Channel Nine show<\/p>\n

\"Speaking <\/p>\n

Speaking to Daily Mail, Joel, 31, admitted that the ongoing conflict with bride Juliette Chae left him emotionally drained<\/p>\n

‘But I wasn’t enjoying being with Juliette,’ he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘If I could stay on the show by myself I would have done that… I chose my dignity and I was willing to risk leaving the show.’<\/p>\n

Joel was forced to remain in the experiment after Juliette chose to stay \u2013 a decision he says left him stunned.<\/p>\n

‘I was pretty shocked that she wrote stay because it seemed like she hated me,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Joel refused to accept an apology Juliette offered during the tense group confrontation.<\/p>\n

‘Because it was fake and insincere, like every word that comes out of her mouth,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘She didn’t even apologise to me first. She apologised to the group.’<\/p>\n

‘She said, “I don’t have that much hatred towards you.” That’s not an apology \u2013 you’re telling me you hate me somewhat.’<\/p>\n

\"'When <\/p>\n

‘When you’re around darkness like that for weeks on end, the darkness consumes you and it does dim your light,’ he said<\/p>\n

However, the following day Joel decided to give the relationship one last chance after reaching out privately.<\/p>\n

‘I put out an olive branch,’ he revealed.<\/p>\n

‘I thought, look, we’re here for another week, let’s just try to lighten the mood a bit.’<\/p>\n

According to Joel, Juliette later visited his apartment and offered what he described as a genuine apology.<\/p>\n

‘She was crying and she seemed upset,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘I was still sceptical but she apologised without making excuses, so I took her at her word.<\/p>\n

‘I told her it was a one strike policy. If she pushed my buttons again, that was it.’<\/p>\n

The pair even shared a bed the night before the couples retreat.<\/p>\n

\"According <\/p>\n

According to Joel, Juliette quickly aligned herself with fellow bride Gia during filming<\/p>\n

‘We slept in the same bed \u2013 we didn’t have sex \u2013 but things had improved,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Joel claims their relationship remained calm during the retreat \u2013 but only because Juliette turned her attention elsewhere.<\/p>\n

‘She didn’t disrespect me again,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘She was on her best behaviour towards me. But she just picked a new target.’<\/p>\n

‘She swapped Joel for Bec. That’s what happened.’<\/p>\n

The intruder groom also made explosive claims about alliances forming among the brides.<\/p>\n

According to Joel, Juliette quickly aligned herself with fellow bride Gia during filming.<\/p>\n

‘Gia and Juliette formed an alliance from day one at the wedding,’ he alleged.<\/p>\n

‘Gia ran up to her and said, “We’re your besties, we’ve got your back.”<\/p>\n

‘But in truth Gia is looking for a useful idiot \u2013 and that’s Juliette.’<\/p>\n

‘I’ve said Gia is the puppet master behind the shadows.’<\/p>\n

Joel also accused Juliette of spreading rumours about other couples.<\/p>\n

‘She would come up to me and say things like Bec and Danny were colluding in the kitchen trying to get more airtime,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘It’s absolute bollocks. She’s just creating stories.’<\/p>\n

‘Every word she comes out with is a manipulative lie.’<\/p>\n

Despite the drama, Joel says he felt a sense of validation when the experts finally challenged Juliette’s behaviour at the Commitment Ceremony.<\/p>\n

‘I would say the supervillain was slain by the experts,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘Everyone was pretty satisfied to see it.’<\/p>\n

But Joel admits he was in a dark place at the time.<\/p>\n

‘I wasn’t happy in that moment because I was in a terrible place mentally. I felt consumed by darkness.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Married At First Sight groom Joel Moses has\u00a0revealed he reached breaking point while filming the Channel Nine show.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[2039,146,85,46,61218,411,12516],"class_list":["post-334791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-married-at-first-sight-australia","tag-tv","tag-tvshowbiz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
