Married At First Sight's upcoming season has been rocked by allegations of a police investigation after a groom reportedly complained about producers sharing private material with his on-screen bride The claims have emerged during filming of the Nine reality show's 2027 season, with insiders alleging police have interviewed production staff and seized phonesIt remains unclear precisely what material was allegedly shown to the bride, who showed it, or what consent had been obtained.An insider also claimed in messages that producers were being interviewed by police and that their phones had been seized. 'Endemol Shine has had to hire lawyers for their producers,' the insider alleged.The same source claimed an executive had 'apparently left the show'.That claim remains unverified and no link between any departure and the alleged investigation has been established.Police had visited Endemol Shine to conduct interviews, that producers had been supplied with lawyers and that phones had been seized.It was also reported that the groom had rejected settlement offers.In NSW, intentionally distributing an intimate image without the depicted person's consent can be a criminal offence if the person sharing it knows there is no consent or is reckless as to whether consent exists.The offence carries a maximum penalty of three years' imprisonment, a fine or both, subject to statutory exceptions. Consent to making an intimate recording does not automatically amount to consent to its subsequent distribution. Nor does agreeing to share an image with one person automatically authorise sharing it with someone else. MAFS 2027 has officially wrapped on filming it's much-anticipated 14th season. Pictured bride: Kristen Goedecke The upcoming season will also introduce a new face to the experts’ couch, with psychotherapist Marryam Chehelnabi, previously the lead therapist on Couples Therapy Australia, joining John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla.Whether any offence occurred in this case would depend on the evidence and the applicable law.In a statement to Daily Mail, a Nine spokesperson said: 'We are aware of a police investigation involving EndemolShine and all enquiries should be directed to them.'The franchise has previously been touched by allegations involving private footage. The allegations come four years after the show's explosive OnlyFans photo scandal involving Domenica Calarco and Olivia Frazer.During the 2022 season, Frazer shared an image associated with Calarco's OnlyFans account with fellow participants, sparking a confrontation at a dinner party.Calarco said the circulation of the image was intended to hurt her and undermine her relationship with on-screen husband Jack Millar. Frazer denied acting with malice and said she had not considered the image a secret.NSW Police confirmed at the time that officers were investigating a complaint concerning the alleged distribution of an image without consent.That investigation was separate from the allegations surrounding the 2027 production. In February 2020, MAFS participant Natasha Spencer reportedly contacted police after an intimate video circulated online. At the time, NSW Police confirmed officers were investigating a complaint.Nine has confirmed the programme will return for its 14th season in 2027.NSW Police has been contacted for comment.
