Why The MAFS Season 17 Girl Group Was Labeled Villainous

Chloe Was The Odd Woman Out

Emily, Clare, Becca, and Lauren were labeled as mean girls for their season 17 behavior, especially their treatment of Chloe.

The season 17 foursome all felt wronged by their husbandswho they thought were not authentic during the process and, in turn, ruined their relationships. The women tried to stand united after Decision Day and support one another in speaking out about and to their ex-husbands, and they came full force - all dressed in coordinated pink - at the Reunion to bash their former husbands.

Emily and Lauren were especially venomous in their attacks on their ex-husbands, and it made them look bitter, resentful, and immature to theMarried at First Sightaudience at large. Even bigger group dynamic negativity that earned the foursome their villain labels came whenthey had a fallout with Chloe.Lauren was seemingly trying to get close to Chloe’s ex Michael Shiakallis, and Chloe apparently wouldn’t let that stand (viaAccess Hollywood.)

“I’m not in the business of coddling people’s insecurities,” Lauren said about Chloe.

In the fallout of Lauren’s remarks, it seemed like the other girls in the girl group iced Chloe out, and Chloe even claimed they made a burner account to troll her online and say mean and hurtful things about her. On the subject of her thoughts on theMarried at First Sightseason 17 girl group, Chloe said,“These women do not want to heal,“followed by,“I wish them everything they may need to be different people.“Emily, Clare, Becca, and Lauren may still be friends today, but their behavior on the show painted them in a bad light.
