So Dramatic! with Megan Pustetto

Well, well, well... if it isn't my "fake news" being proven correct yet again!Married at First Sight "golden couple" Jeff Gobbels and Rhi Disljenkovic have officially called it quits after almost two years together, and whilst fans are reeling from the news, long-time listeners of So Dramatic! may remember that we've been questioning whether their relationship was really as perfect as it seemed for quite some time.In this episode, we're unpacking the breakup that has rocked the MAFS fandom, what went wrong, who pulled the pin, the cryptic and shady social media posts, Jeff and Rhi's official breakup statements, and why the split appears far from amicable...We also revisit So Dramatic!'s bombshell investigations into Jeff and Rhi's relationship (Ep 656 + 658) that were heavily criticised, publicly rubbished and attacked when they were first published to examine just how well it has aged. From allegations that their relationship wasn't the fairytale viewers were led to believe, to claims that their love story was very different behind the scenes, and even shocking cheating claims. Plus, I also clap back at the podcasters and keyboard warriors who confidently assured everyone I was wrong and have now landed on the wrong side of the receipts...Plus, why MAFS brides Jacqui Burfoot and Sierah Swepstone also deserve an apology...This episode is sponsored by Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Moisturising Body Oil.PS.
