On season eight of MAFS, the experts chose to have four couples instead of the usual three. They claimed on the show that they just could not possible keep any of the four perfectly matched couples from being on the show. The “fourth couple” was Luke Cuccurullo and Kate Sisk.
That was a lie. Very early on someone tried to post some spoilers and insider information on the show. I don’t allow spoilers on these sorts of shows. I am pretty sure I deleted the post. Or maybe not. Because I remember responding to part of the comment about Luke Cuccurullo and Kate Sisk being a late addition and Luke being added at the last minute because Kate’s actual match backed out at the last minute.
Bullshit said me. If that were true, they already had three couples. That is the usual number. Why push a fourth couple through that wasn’t a match? That would likely end in disaster! They would never do that. They want the couples to stay together, right?
MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT: HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED ON DECISION DAY!
It seems now that was true. They did just throw Kate to the wolves with Luke. And it did end in disaster.
Well, now there is more evidence, or perhaps it is the same person saying it on Reddit with even more information.
How Could MAFS Not Know?
Pysiak03 posted the following on this Reddit Sub
All of you speculating that Luke is gay are correct. A friend of mine works for the show and recently gave me some insight into the situation. Shortly after decision day Kate and her friends found a second Facebook profile of Luke’s where he was listed as being in a relationship with another guy. She confronted the producers asking how they could have possibly overlooked that while matching them… they said they had no idea about the other profile. *face palm* Then while filming the reunion episode, Luke’s sexuality got brought up and he got so frustrated with the questions that he stormed off stage -still wearing his mic-, locked himself in a room and called someone sobbing saying “They know. They know I’m gay.”
Lifetime most likely won’t air this because of privacy and permission issues, as well as not really being in line with their content. But the situation is so fucked up and sad on so many levels… on one hand it’s heartbreaking that he felt like he had to go through with something like this but on the other, it’s heartless to put someone like Kate through it all for your own benefit. I also found out that Kate was originally matched with a different guy, a doctor, but he withdrew from the show last minute and Luke was next in line.
What Will We Actually See On The Reunion?
These reunion shows are never filmed “three months later” as they say but generally only a few weeks later. Very little has ever had time to change that much. They just gives them some time off camera for everyone’s mask to drop. And in this case for Kate Sisk to find out the real reason that Luke Cuccurullo was not attracted to her.
I Mean… At Least Luke Didn’t Live In A Bus…
During that time Kate was apparently shown all the Facebook stuff on Luke that was floating around. There were Facebook accounts with Luke listed as in a relationship with another man. There were lots of photos of Luke from previous years where he seemed, um… well he seemed to be out and proud and enjoying his life.
Does Kate Sisk Have A Lawsuit?
It certainly seems that MAFS put a gay man on a show about heterosexuals marrying at first sight. It’s becoming increasing clear they don’t vet these people very well. On season seven, of MAFS, Mia was arrested while trying to board a plane for her honeymoon with new husband Tristan. Mia was wanted for stalking an ex. There seems to be a problematic person on each season. And one of the “experts,” Dr. Jessica Griffin, hooked up with the husband of one of the problem people . She was/is dating Jon Francetic one of the guys from season six of MAFS. (Edited because it was Molly that was the shitperson, not her husband Jon. Ooops)
So is this worse than Mia being a Stalker and a Thief Last Season?
To all the people screaming for a lawsuit against Lifetime or MAFS, reality show contracts are air tight. They all sign their lives away to be on the show. The terms of the contracts are insane and completely cover the network and the production company. That said, she can certainly challenge the contract in court. And the Network may pay her off to avoid the court costs.
The MAFS reunion airs Tuesday April 9th at 9 pm on Lifetime. We will see what they actually show about the Luke Cuccurullo and Kate Sisk situation. MAFS returns this summer on Wednesday nights and will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina.
She should be The Bachelorette.
Love sweet beautiful kate. Yes she should b the bachelorette.
She’s hardly pretty enough, but The Bachlorette picks from women in their show.
Um that’s just your opinion, man. I find Kate to be beautiful. Your comment was kind of mean.
I think she is beautiful as well. This crap all smells that they did this to her.
I think she is beautiful. Maybe she doesn’t have the perfect body of the bachelorette but she would make a good one. However, I would not like to see her used by another reality show. I wish her lots of luck in her future endeavors as a private person.
She is very pretty with a darling personality
I think she’s pretty enough, I think she’s beautiful.
She is gorgeous.
I knew he was gay. What man if he loves women says he disgusted by a kiss?
For the show to put Kate through this bull, I feel they should compensate her or she might do a spinoff like Vanessa and David did. Help find her a true match!
I feel the same way. Give Kate her OWN show!!!! I love this sweet woman!
I agree. It was wrong to put her through that. Its pretty obvious from the get go that he was gay.
Agreed, this is emotional abuse toward Kate.
He was just too “extra” the entire time😒 he was clearly gonna be disgusted by any woman no matter how kind, sweet, or beautiful she could have been. He was lacking discretion at every turn, he was constantly gaslighting her and tattling to the crew about her “so called” drinking problem🤦🏼♀️ I would say she handled the situation a lot better than I would have 🤬 totally OUTRAGEOUS! That being said I have been hooked since the beginning of the season🤨
Well, that explains why he didn’t want to reveal they were having sex.
Kate. Should sue MAFS,for the embarrassment, and humiliation .
I will never watch this show again
See you this summer, for MAFS, Charlotte!
Agree. I will never watch this sh** show again either. We’re all being duped.
I agree. I plan not to watch again to boycott the show’s very cruel practices.
This was the worst season ever. Stopped watching early. Could tell some things just weren’t right. Only one couple seemed a match in my opinion.
I disagree two couples that stayed together where great matches…. has anyone ever thought maybe Kate knew the truth all along. Maybe she was told if she said she would get her own show??? Just a thought!
Poor Kate. They should give her a show were guys fight to pick her
I can’t wait for the reunion. They confront Luke with all the accusations of being gay (which btw is fine unless you’re set to marry a woman and humiliate her on Nat’l tv) and ask him how he could possibly have sex with her when he clearly wasn’t attracted to her
Why didnt anyone get the clue in the beginning when he admitted to being able to con anyone it was like the 1st or 2nd show in this season …
Another good point!
Luke might be gay, but it seems that he is a Sociopath, first and foremost. It was like watching a Disney princess movie in reverse, as Kate lost a piece of herself every moment. Worst, most reckless season of MAFS, by production yet. Experts should be fired, and everyone involved in these “perfect” matches. Not one believable match. I hope a lot of lawsuits are coming for the show.
But I think she was a low key alcoholic just like she lies about smoking to the producers and he told the he liked mixed and Asian wen and they gave him a blonde???
Kate is so sweet. She should be on the Bachelorette but probably won’t do that because She wouldn’t want to be hurt again. I hope She finds Her true love. She deserves it.
Felt Luke was gay from the beginning its the show’s fault for forcing him to continue with the lie,I feel bad for kate who is a sweet beautiful innocence person who did not have to be 🌎 wide embrassed by Luke’s behavior,BUT kate should take this as a growing life experience and move on ans Luke should take this and come out openly and be comfortable with himself im sure he did the show for family reasons good luck to both..the show sucks by the way
This is horrible. From production to Luke agreeing to get married, just horrible! His family? They had to have known too! I’m just sick for Kate!
I agree But from the start I seen he was acting odd. First he made the remark I know this girl. And I knew right then he would make no effort to make it work. He said she wasn’t his type. Kate deserves a 2nd chance if she would even want one. I felt her pain thru the whole experience.
Kate should run as far away from this show as possible. There is no way she should be on Second Chances or any other show with this idiotic casting company.
It is also interesting that his mom did not expect the marriage to work. I feel so badly keir Kate. She got a raw deal.
Oh that same source said hi mom was a royal bitch to production. I assumed as much since they aired all her bad behavior.
You can see the mom’s fb profile it’s open. Elaine Schardien is her name and her husband didn’t seem into her at all when they showed them. I can’t believe Luke had sex with Kate? WHY? Will was able to go all that time not having sex. Jamie and Doug did too. He did not have to have sex – hope he used condoms
I think Luke’s mom was hinting at something when she said, “Will you be ok no matter what happens at the end of this?”! Kate showed the pain in her face then as she has this entire “marriage”!! The show states the couples are responsible for all legal fees for divorce.I think this constitutes a bend of the rules and should cover all expenses and possibly therapy! How do you deal with so much MENTAL ABUSE in such a short time? She NEVER had a chance to win the heart of a gay man. Since Decision Day, 2 days afterwards, the so called “other man” has changed his profile status to relationship with a woman, who seems a friend of them both. But it also showed a friend posting how he was sorry it all came out like this, and yet again, the post was removed within a few hours. Kate deserves someone very special. The show cannot be responsible for “deception of others”, even through the background checks may need to be more in depth. In situations as Luke and Kate, they should bend over backwards to help the once bubbly always smiling pleasant young lady that cried non-stop (inside as well) that now rates herself so low! Luke almost broke this girl, but calling him out shows down deep she is a strong person! I agree with others that she would make a great Bachelorette! It would be great for Kate to have her own show with all the men that were thinking during the entire relationship that they had a chance to win her heart and treat her as she deserved. However this ends, I will still watch the show, but I’m definitely a huge Kate fan and said to my husband, the night he told her he felt “dead and repulsed” over a kiss, I would have walked! Women, we all know how that would hurt and hard to overcome, yet Kate hung in and kept trying! Best wishes Kate…you deserve a true Prince Charming!!
what was HE thinking???? I just dont get it??? Why didn’t his mom stop the wedding before it even started. Gay is Gay…no changing because a cute blonde walk by …so sad
Mom’s words to Kate kept coming back to me. “What is the LEAST you expect to get out of this relationship?” What kind of question is that? Ever?
He made her out to look like a FOOL 😞 I’m sure he is laughing because he got away with this and thinks its funny…well if you need to get yourself noticed like this, then you have EVERYTHING that is coming to you! I think even the “community” that says they STAND by you are even EMBARRASSED 😡 Get a life Luke…and Mike Noble, you two are NOTHING without Kate
I disagree, Kate does not look like a fool. She may have had doubts but gave all she could to make it work. She might feel foolish but never the fool. Think people are projecting how they might have felt.
Aww I love this comment. I always love your comments though. But you’re absolutely right! She does NOT look like a fool. And she should not feel that way either although she might. None of this was her fault. She is a lovely, beautiful woman. A ton of men would jump at the chance of being with her. I hope she finds peace and the love of her life.
Kate is beautiful and I felt so bad for her that she was having to go through that emotional roller coaster . She deserved much better,j
I just don’t understand why Kate just excepted the way he treated her! I mean he kissed her and said he wasn’t attracted to her and that he was repulsed by her I would have walked out right then! She seemed so desperate for LOVE all the way to the end on decision day she said how much she liked him. He’s such a jerk to do all that just to be on TV
I have to believe production did everything to keep Kate there and pretending she was trying.
I can’t believe the Kate didn’t know that she was with a gay guy . on top of everything she had sexual relationships with this man and didn’t know. I think the production company should be sued and I am ashamed of the people that put this together these doctors should have known something.
Totally agree. Poor Kate was treated so badly. I’m done with this stupid show.
It was just too painful to watch. Never again. This is not quality tv. Really mean of production and the so-called “pros” to allow a gay and a straight to go through with this much less allow Kate to be mistreated. They could be brought up to their state’s professional standards for unprofessional behavior. They knew. They wanted the ratings more than good marriages and mental health. They obviously have no shame.
Discussing, Why in the World would a Gay man enter to be matched with what he knew would be a Female ( opposite sex ) ????
This show had better screen properous headero-sexual singles hoping to find a life long partner in marriage !
I am appalled by the lack of screening backgrounds,etc in order to start a new season !!!
Make my stomach sick especially for poor Kate . To think he had sex with her to shut her up ! How sick is Luke ?
I can’t wrap my head around all of this crazy story of the two … Kate & Luke ? My heart goes out to Kate . This will take some time & I hope Kate seeks Therapy to recover from a liar let alone had sex with him !!! Ewh , makes me sick !!! Kate get a good Attorney & Sue everyone involved !!!
Yes, what she said!! Sue and get therapy because you will need it. Humiliating!!!
She probably cant sue the show. But she can sue Luke and his mother.
I agree totally! Why would he go on TV to be matched if he was gay? What a con!!! And the way he always looked at Kate so lovingly was sickening because he didn’t give a damn about her….after what he said to Kate regarding her kiss, the counselors should have kicked him off permanently and should have found another match for her…and yes, I agree with most of you….she deserves her OWN show to have men that truly want to get to know her….she is BEAUTIFUL!!! Inside and out!!!
I do agree, after those two comments, he should’ve been gone. I felt for her all the way through the show, but when Pastor got so I’ll with him, that should’ve been it. I would’ve packed his shit for him.
Which explains why he didn’t want Kate saying anything about them having sex. It’s all crystal clear now. Even if he weren’t gay, Kate is a catch and can do much better than him!
So unfair!! Remember the comment, “he felt dead inside!!”??? Well ya! Because you don’t like freaking women [email protected]!
I’m so upset by this. Luke lied at so many different levels. His calculated use of Kate is an ugliness I cannot understand.
We’ve seen some crazy shit on this show over the years but this is just so disrespectful to a lovely human being, with real feelings, real insecurities, real hope, real kindness and a dream of a partner respectful of the sanctity of marriage and HER!
I can only imagine the reels of deceit that are playing and replaying through her mind now. So unfair.
This just brings to light the society we r
This just brings to light the society we live in and the pain of relationships. My hope is that the show/professionals help Kate through this and truly counsel and pay. They guide her through life indefinatley next relationships marriage etc. Its paid for and there as may times as she needs for the next 20- 30 years what ever she needs
Kipper
You said it best. “An ugliness I can not understand.”
I know now why lukL got so mad when Kate told him that she told the experts that they were having sex since the honeymoon. Hope his boyfriend breaks up with him for cheating. And what’s with A J? No wonder he’s been single all these years. The guy’s a first class A-Hole and Stephanie is a fool if she stays with that jerk
“Having sex since the honeymoon” says they had sex more than once. And when she said he would get up and leave the house right after sex also seems like it happened more than once.
Yes, it happened several times.
I just wonder why Luke would have signed up to start with? Was he trying to prove something to himself? Did he do it on a dare from friends? I suspected something was up when he wouldnt kiss Kate. She is adorable and no heterosexual man would have refused! just sayin…
Yes, and remember at the wedding reception how he said, “you don’t have to.” ?? Meaning no kiss! Because he didn’t want people to see him kiss her. Weird!
I would like to know why the experts put her through this process. For the entire duration .nobody was answered my quest for an answer. Surely news must have been leaking out and learned. This whole story is a disgrace.
Jon was not a jerk. Molly, on the other hand was a rude little beeotch.
I agree. I don’t understand why the writer call Jon a masshole. He wasn’t. And who cares if he and Dr. J are dating. It was after the show.
Truth.
If it turns out that Luke is gay, then shame on him and shame on TLC for going forward if they knew. Not only is it putting Kate in an unwinnable position, but it’s putting her at additional risk for STDs.
If I were her and found out that they had prior knowledge of his homosexuality, I would attempt to sue them no matter what paperwork I had signed. A normal person would reasonably assume that they would get a person who was interested in the opposite sex, so there was possibly fraud on Production’s part right from the beginning.
I’m not upset at Luke if he is gay. It is what it is. But to go on a show like Married at First Sight and pretend to be interested in having a wife, when his true proclivities lay in a different direction entirely, is nothing short of irresponsible and cruel. It will take Kate a long time to get over the rejection and gaslighting that he subjected her to, as she didn’t appear to have very high self-esteem to start with, so I hope this whole nightmare helps to make her a stronger person She’ll certainly have a lot of support from her friends, family and those of us who watched the show.
She’s going to have a hard time getting back to some kind of normalcy and being able for a man to touch her she was weak in the first place can you imagine what now she’s going to go throug I don’t understand the show for doing what they did the producers the doctors had to have known something I just don’t understand this.
Why would Luke go on the show about marriage being gay. What would motivate him. He had to know that it would come out. No wonder his mother told Kate that the marriage wouldn’t last. She absolutely knew. The experts are not experts at all! Shame on them!
Everything you said. My thoughts exactly! This is puzzling. I hope we get answers next week.
I think you are right another that.
What I have read Luke went on the show to promote his speed dating business. If that is the case, I hope for total failure of his business and he loses everything. What he cost Kate in mental anguish and his treatment and comments to her, she should sue him. If no one else knew, he did. And he intentionally deceived her for possible financial gain.
I read on another site that Luke was looking to promote his singles dating business and saw this show as a way to do it. Just an FYI, Kate is also now promoting through, social media, her lingerie line of clothing. Other former MAFS participants also promote products on their social media sites. Some do it a lot. Makes you wonder about most of the participants motives, not all.
Shame on lifetime, I knew Luke was nothing but a piece of trade. I hope Kate is able to move on from this mentally and find her true love.
What about the other castmate that asked Luke if he was a top or bottom?? Open secret? Things that make ya go “hmmmm… “
OMG, the cruelty of not just the man, but the production company! They absolutely knew what was up, but they perpetrated this travesty on this unsuspecting woman, who cried her eyes out when her husband ditched her on their 1-month anniversary, told her she had bad breath, told the experts she drank excessively, etc. etc.
I hope she hires a pit bull of an attorney and sues for fraud, defamation and emotional cruelty. I hope they give her a ton of money for what they put her through, so they could entertain their audiences.
Yes. Too much unnecessary drama for Kate. I sincerely hope she Sues everyone involved!
If only there was a giant header that said DOES KATE SISK HAVE A LAWSUIT followed by an explanation of why she does not.Looks up…Oh. Wait..
She’s baaaaccck. Bring on the sass TT
I KNEW LUKE WAS GAY the minute he said he felt dead and repulsed inside. Also, he kept saying he wasn’t attracted to her. ( that’s because she wasn’t masculine looking) Plus he would say little things like “ I gotta make sure I look beautiful “ What man says that? I would think he would have use the word “handsome “ instead of beautiful. There were so many Red Flags with him. He probably got erect when AJ smacked him on the ass with a towel while they were on their mini moon. Maybe they should have hooked Luke and AJ up together. And to be totally honest with you when she called Dr. Pepper to tell her that she couldn’t hold a secret any longer that Luke had asked her to keep, I thought at that very moment she was going to say that Luke revealed to her he was Gay but that wasn’t the secret he asked her to keep. In the real crazy part is he is still very much in denial he kept saying I don’t want to get a divorce which is crazy to me because why do you want to stay married to a woman when you very well know that you are attracted to a man. I’m so glad that Kate came to her senses and decided to go her own way because she deserves so much better than Luke. He is in denial and he’s in the closet. I think he knows that he’s very much attracted to men but at the same time he wants to do what he thinks society wants him to do. Smh…. I definitely think Kate should go get tested.
With all being said about Luke, which seems and sounds true, I’m wondering if Will is gay also….
I think Will was not attracted to Jasmine (possible weight) some men have a hang up on women’s weight and just accept it when its gained later in life. I think he knew his shallowness of I’m just not in to you would not work with the audience and the professional smart man not the sleep with her and risk us seeing it unfold in public
I think you’re absolutely right and he just wasn’t into her physically. It seems like most young men these days want women on the slim side, or at the most slightly curvy. Jasmine has a thicker. more matronly figure, and the clothes she wears accentuate that. I thought she looked absolutely beautiful when she wore her hair up, and she has a absolutely gorgeous face. It’s a pity if it was something relatively shallow like that, but let’s face it, a lot of women also prefer a guy who’s not carrying extra weight, so it’s not just men who react so strongly to body shape.
I believe Will lack of attraction to Jasmine was not because of her physical appearance, but because he knew from early on that she wanted him to be someone that he wasn’t. To place more importance on making money than on following his dreams is a way of discounting him as a human being and a man. It’s difficult to be attracted to someone who doesn’t accept you for who you are.
Jasmine wanted her man to take care of her, be the provider. Will disagreed on this early on, and that was a red flag. He wanted 50/50 finances in the marriage.
Jasmine has more ambition, drive, and personality. Will was alway thinking about their differences, and did not want to lead her on. Also, not all men like skinnier women. In fact, plenty of Black or African American men like thicker women. He was always holding back, and treated Jasmine more like a roommate. Jasmine was not enthusiastic about Will’s career goals. I believe they were mismatched. It is not the first time that MAFS put a successful, ambitious woman, with a less driven, less successful man. It is hard to sustain that without respect. (Remember guy who lived on a bus ?) Bus guy was so out of his passionate and successful wife’s league !
AJ knew Luke was gay….{Birds of a Feather}…AJ talked about shaving Luke and the way AJ slapped Luke on the butt…and Luke just turned around and looked like “don’t do that in front of everybody.” Stephanie should be concerned too about AJ instead of make excuses or him and his attitude. It appears AJ may have a few gay secrets too. I also think Luke being gay is why Luke’s mom knew the marriage would not work. I’m sad for Kate…The show definitely owes her for pain, suffering, time wasted. For for this reason, I do not think it is a good idea to have sex during the 8 wks. These couples should use this time to get to know one another, and enjoy the experience. As for Will, I think him and Jasmine looked good together but, he wanted a nerdy girl who is into community building, and not about working to build wealth.
True.
I am done watching this show, what they did to Kate was downright cruel, and it was fraud. How dare they do that to her, who knows what this has done to her.
Not buying any of this! A man of his age would know to scrub his social media accounts. Also, why hasn’t any folks from his gay community come to out him. I believe Kate was not totally honest about certain things either, such as her alcohol use. Something just isn’t right and I don’t believe it’s his sexuality
Luke was the one pouring all of Kate’s drinks and then telling producers she had a drinking problem to get the spotlight off of him.
But she was quick to tell on him while withholding her behavior. She was blackout drunk. He didn’t want to tell on her. She is sweet, speaks in a soft tone, big blue eyes, blonde hair. “A man can only not be attracted to her if he’s gay.” Maybe he’s just not attracted to her. At the beginning of the series Luke stated that he had mostly dated women who were aesthetically opposite of Kate. I don’t think anyone would go on a national television program and try to fool people without scrubbing his social media in this day and age
You are an idiot.
I guess that’s the best you can do. BTW you are too!
Agree with Tamara. Is that you Luke?
I think that was going to be Luke’s out on the show that she was an alcoholic and that’s why he wanted a divorce…. All the while pouring the drinks for her and indulging himself… I think he was so hush hush about the sex because he is a partner and I promptly didn’t tell him that they went that far… No offense the Kate herself but he would probably get very inebriated himself in order to have sex.. Hence why her friend said he drinks a lot too. Unless his bi but Judging on what he said to her about feeling dead inside .I think hes not.
Now we know why he didn’t want Kate to mention that they had sex. He did that for the benefit of his lover, to let his lover know that he wasn’t having sex with her.
Omg! I knew it! Dang! Feel so bad for Kate. He’s been as ASS!
I am just now catching up with season 8 and I couldn’t watch it after the month anniversary. He is such an ASS and I don’t think the production people were making him look worse. I just think he was/is that way normally.
I watched the entire last episode again with a focus on Luke’s sexuality. During the season, it never occurred to me Luke was gay. While rewatching the show, the penny dropped and all the questions about his rude, demeaning behaviors were answered! He does seem “appear” to be gay! I will wait patiently for the final episode to but I do suspect Luke is gay.
I find it difficult to believe the experts knew anything about Luke’s homosexuality; they weren’t involved in the veting and likely believed he was a viable heterosexual male. All of them seemed very upset about his disgusting behavior. So, what should be done? She deserves a lot of graveling to be done by the producers and a fat paycheck to sooth the pain. It goes without saying that Luke deserves to be publicly humiliated for what he did. For the future, I hope the producers damm well get their act together and truly investigate the proposed caste – before casting them. No one should have to endure what Kate had to endure!
I read that his Facebook profile picture is of another man, a Philadelphia ballet dancer. What a coincidence that when he tried to make it up to Kate for something he did to make her unhappy, it was to take her to the Philadelphia ballet for a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Hmmmmmm…..
So his boyfriend is in the ballet? This is even more interesting…
And his mother has a picture of her, the husband, Luke, a young man named Etienne Diaz and a young lady at what appears to be a large theater (ballet performance maybe ?) dated 10/21/17, with the caption of it being the best night ever. She also has a posting featuring a large rainbow cake with a reference to Jesus and his liking of the cake, in support of the group Moms against hate, that post is from June 2018. Very interesting, indeed.
Hmmm is right! We had so many clues but the whole picture was out of my grasp because I just have a blind spot to this level of deceit. I do not understand.
Oh man, I forgot about the ballet!!
Shame on casting and the experts and Luke…comee on how could they NOT know?! 5 min. In i knew!!!
Poor Kate they owe her ….something…idk…but something thats forsure!!!!
Dr. PEPPER knew he was gay, but in the confessional telephone call from Kate, did not stop the charade, but instead encouraged Kate to apologize to LUKE for telling Luke’s “demand that she not tell experts anything”…because he knew, and Dr. PEPPER KNEW it would be ON CAMERA AND WR WOULD KNOW THE GIG WAS UP!
Gay or straight, you don’t treat your wife or anyone like that. He made the decision to go on a (straight) show. He should not have been putting all his negativity on Kate for his actions.
I agree!! What POS for putting another human being through this. She went in to find someone to spend her life with. He went in to try to make it all about him with disregard to anyone else’s feelings. Karma is a bitch Luke!!!!
I knew he was gay early on when he didnt want to kiss her and when he did it repulsed him. She was the prettiest of the women, so it was hard to believe a real man wouldnt want to have sex. Kate, though, was weak and seemed desperate to stay. I wanted to slap her every week for not speaking up and calling him out. I will not be watching this crappy show any longer. All of the experts ought to be ashamed. Someone must have paid for their degrees because they don’t know shit
I’m with the many others of you wondering why Luke would go through with this marriage if he is gay. It was bad enough when I thought he was just doing this show to get publicity for his dating events–but if he is gay?!?!
In the episode where Luke’s mother asked a would she be okay when this doesn’t work out the mother told it who knows the child better than their mother
Exactly, Luke’s mom had No hope for the relationship. If he were my son, and I know he was struggling with his sexuality, I would have pulled him to the side (away from cameras) and had a long talk with him.
Luke’s mom is the tree he fell from…
Luke is a manipulative, naraicistic, abuser and none of this has to do with any hidden/not hidden sexuality. If he willing entered into this marriage further decieving Kate it is even sadder. Him and his friends are making fake relationships and profiles on social media and laughing at all of this. They are trying to hide the first guy he was attached to with this now Mike Noble guy and they are all laughing on his page with their posts. Luke’s posts making fun of this all is disgusting. You know who is not laughing? Kate and I bet her family and friends . And in fact any of us with scruples. I hate he even gets an article written about him. He wanted fame and now he’s laughing.
I searched to find out if Luke was gay after the first four episodes because of his mannerisms and it just didn’t make sense. I believe Pastor Cal knew and Kate found out about the time when Pastor Cal went off on him. I think they kept it a secret but told Kate she would get her day to confront him. I don’t think there’s anyway that these people didn’t find out during the filming if they didn’t know from the start. Total sham though very disappointing.
Oh yes they know. Just spend a few minutes looking around at all the fake postings of his reddit photo of him drinking (the original Facebook picture he had posted said he was on his 6th drink) and it was when he was about 22. But don’t forget his sob story about friend that died via drunk driver and so he didn’t drink for years. He is so full of it. Now the gay rumors so he is posting pretend relationships with friends and all his guy friends are laughing with him. They all post same photos and it’s juvenille and sad. There is a real person hurt by this. I really hate this guy and I hate very few people. But just he lengths they are going to so they can make fun of the marriage and subsequently of Kate, it’s evil.
Sincerely saying,because I haven’t watched all of it, when they started airing the show me and my curious self checked this guy out and he dated women on the past, and he supposedly have a type of ladies that he prefers, right? On the other hand, look, if l meet someone that won’t enjoy me and all I am and have to offer, I wouldn’t be sorry to let his cute ass go and find a three that he could enjoyed better, i don’t think this boy(not a man quite yet) is the only one to blame, but if she was really betrayed by him, she will be better off, I believe in true romance and a chance to fall in love shouldn’t never be a joke, a lot people don’t mind doing things like this, for fame, money or attention, it makes harder for the ones that really want and are waiting for that last and long chance to be with that special someone
Yes he had some beards
Whiny cry!!! Not fair ffs (Kate)!
Whoa! Why has nothing been written about LUKE, and why he knowingly signed up for MAFS to enter into a heterosexual marriage? THAT is truly cruel, beyond anything he did or said on the show. I would bring a civil suit against Luke if I were Kate! I can’t imagine the emotional damage he’s done to her!
I don’t know if Luke is gay or straight, but there’s something definitely wrong with him. Kate is a absolutely beautiful woman, and I don’t think any straight man wouldn’t want to be with her because she didn’t have dark hair. Just buy her a dark wig or ask her to dye her hair darker and keep it moving and show her some love. That comment that he felt repulsed inside after kissing her never sat well with me. But if it’s true that he’s gay, then that comment totally makes sense now. His been trying to make Kate look bad on camera by saying she drinks too much, but all the bad things he has done he tries to keep it a secret and off camera and gets mad when Kate tells the truth about him and what was really going on. This was my first time ever watching the show so I can’t compare it to other seasons, but Luke and Kate’s marriage was definitely the most dramatic.
Yes, she has a claim for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.
My heart breaks for her, what Luke and MAFS did to her is inexcusable.
I read a lot of speculation on social media that he wasn’t attracted to Kate because his previous girlfriends were always black and I seem to remember Luke saying he should have been more specific about what he was attracted to- was that all just a smokescreen? I’m so confused. Why, why, why would Luke do this? This is awful. Poor Kate.
I knew from the very beginning of the show he was gay from the time they got married! I was shocked when she said they had been having sex the whole time but I’m not shocked by him being gay. My daughter and I watched from the very beginning and I’ve said every episode he’s gay! Kate should have went with her instinct and stopped the whole thing when she wanted to end it but she let him tell her he didn’t want it to end and they should make it work so she stayed! When he said he was the host of speed dating and he knew her but didn’t hit on her I was like he’s gay, when he said he felt dead inside and repulsed from their kiss I yelled gay, when he wasn’t home for their 1 month anniversary I yelled gay everything he did to her I yelled because he likes men! It not entirely the show or productions fault she stayed knowing it wouldn’t work out! I feel they do good background checks but I guess now they need to add social media accounts to check and see if people don’t want to come out the closet yet and give one last try to see if they are really gay!! Smh
I totally agree.The minute Luke said he was repulsed and felt dead inside,I knew he was gay.How could anyone not know this,including Kate??Even if she was not his type,she is beautiful and hardly repulsive.Everyone played along for the sake of the show.That’s my opinion.These so called” professionals” had to have had a strong idea about this yet they continue to advise people about talking it out and making it work.Shattered lives and ridiculousness all for the sake of ratings.Don’t forget….This is profit people!!!We all watched and played a part!
The MAFS producers should set up a lovely, quiet dinner for Kate and the doctor who was the pro ‘s first choice (and backed out at the last minute) for her (and pick up the check!)
Yes! But only after Kate has some time to recover. If the show knew and didn’t tell her, that is just a whole new level of evil.
Yes it is
Perhaps this is the catalyst to a MAFS gay show? It may all have been calculated.
They should have gay couples on the show. Why not? But COUPLES. Not one single gay dude with a straight woman!
O.M.G Guys……. I KNEW Luke was gay based on the way he interacted with the strippers during the bachelor party!! It was further confirmed by the way he interacted with Kate. It was definitely a gut feeling but obvious… Why go on the show if you knew this? How dare him hurt another person (Kate) this way by being so dishonest. Man….was his whole family in on this???
Oh this fucking this!!! Why intentionally hurt this poor woman! Somebody ought to be kicked in the nuts for this kind of bullshit. I knew he was gay after the first episode with the strippers and he was all freaked out they were rubbing up on him. I hope karma bites his ass hard.
It’s all done for the ratings! The producers fooled us all!!!!
If he is gay, it is unbelievable that his mother and friends attended his wedding to an unknowing woman. They should have refused to participate.
I think kate should be introduced to dr
Ths is exactly what I find so troubling. I just don’t see how so many people would be complicit. It doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like one of his friends would have leaned in and said something to Kate. There was plenty of opportunity at their house parties, especially when you consider everyone is drinking and their guard is down. Why didn’t this come out? I don’t get it. If he is gay, plenty of people should know and not all of them would have been ok with this deception.
Sure, but remember – Luke bragged about being able to fool people. So I bet he told them some BS story about her being in on it or something, and they bought it and thought they needed to play along.
I suggest reading up on pathological liars – they tell some real whoppers but are very convincing.
I’m sorry but all i think about is why did Kate repeatedly have sex with him? That creepy serial killer smirk smile is more than enough to not even want to live with him and needles to say have him ever touch me in any way sexually. Their whole story is sad, especially if really true that they were matched since “he was next in line after the other guy dropped out”.
Luke is probably the best looking guy Kate has ever been with. Don’t underestimate the power of a physically attractive, um, package. I’m a heterosexual middle aged woman – I think Luke is a good looking guy.
The tells for me are the in the way he reacts (or doesn’t react) to some difficult situations. He is very smooth – too much so.
1st episode I said he was gay
I CANNNOT wait to see what happens. I might make popcorn. Kate had to put up with multiple displays of massive disrespect and remained. How? Why? For television, oh really?
I believed Luke was gay, because of his mannerisms and meticulous beard/hair. And then in their wedding photo, he is in front of Kate, and looks flashy and narcissistic. Look at me ! It was 100% when he said he was repulsed and felt dead inside after kissing Kate. Oh, and, Don’t I look beautiful ? That is a word to describe a female. I also noticed Luke’s disinterest in the female strippers. I live in the South, and there were so many posers down here trying to date women, but were gay. For various reasons, including financial ones, or hiding it from their family. There are red flags, and obvious signs, and things gay men do that straight ones don’t and vice versa. Poor Kate. I hope she does sue MAFS I have dated a closet gay guy before, but figured it out, and did not have sex. Since then, my gaydar has improved 90 %.. They always deny, deny. But, I am usually right. . Btw, it happens a lot here where I live. But, Kate did not deserve all this humiliation ! MAFS got it sooo wrong on this one, and she probably signed away her rights to sue, but she could sue Luke. Maybe ? Kate, you are a sweet, warm, giving person. Please do not let this episode ruin who you are ! I wish you the best moving forward.
I’m not totally sure he is gay, but from about episode two, I was pretty sure he was a sociopathic narcissist. How the “experts” missed that is insane.
Dr. Pepper’s lack of proper counseling during the phone call where Kate describes their sexual intimacy and Luke’s behavior after intimacy was appalling. That should have set off a ton of red flags with her. Instead she made her feel guilty for telling her about it.
I completely agree. Thinking back, I wonder if she (Dr. Pepper) knew the truth and wanted to see if Kate knew and if she’d spill…
Kate COULD have cut him off after the first time. She is an adult and should have said something. Perhaps I feel like Kate needs to be somewhat accountable. She at times seemed to play dumb about what was said as if she didn’t understand. She isn’t dumb, but played it unnecessarily.
Kate was getting companionship, cuddling, and occasional sex. Even if her gut was saying Luke was gay, part of her did not want to believe it. It is like you are getting some needs met, but something is truly off. It was hard on Kate, because Luke gave her mixed signals. And Luke had some qualities she liked. It is not Kate’s fault, because she had genuine intentions, and is heterosexual.
I understand I’m very unpopular with my opinion BUT I feel Kate was not being natural and not behaving like a grown ass woman.
I have and still continue to stand by the way I see it.
Your opinion will always be unpopular when you blame the victim for not doing enough to escape the bully. Only bullies agree with that sort of bullshit, no matter how many times you keep repeating it.
As someone that has dated closet gay men that they used me as a beard, I will still stand by Kate. As I NOW knowfirsthand, it is confusing when you are trying to figure the closet person out, and why they act very unnatural. So, I still defend Kate, especially since it was what, 8 weeks, and she was supposedly matched by experts. From the beginning, viewers saw gay mannerisms, but when you are in it, it is harder to see it as clearly. Kate was looking for love and commitment. Luke was looking for fame, popularity, and vanity. Just my take.
After some Facebook snooping via Elaine’s page it looks like the ballet dancer is or was Luke’s neighbor. His name is Etienne and he is FB friends with both Luke and his mother, he is also engaged to a woman named Mayonara who also appears to also be in dance.
There is a post of Luke’s family with Etienne on the stage at the ballet. On Etienne’s FB there is a post of beardless Luke from February I think where he is looking ridiculous while opening a bottle of something. One of the comments is Luke drinks too much. Luke replies that the guy should know since he has been to dinner at his house. Hmmm.
First off, telling Kate he felt “repulsed and dead inside” after they kissed was so out of line, cruel and hurtful. I would have thrown in the towel right then and there. How do you ever get past a statement like that?
Secondly, if they were having sex, don’t you normally kiss while you’re having sex? Did he continue to feel repulsed when they kissed? And if he wasn’t attracted to her, how could he get an erection? I think there’s a lot more to this story that we don’t know.
The 3 Counselors should be sued and The Show!
Bye MAFS! You f***** up too many lives! And for Entertainment
I can’t for the life of me figure out why he would apply to a show called Married at First Sight knowing it was for heterosexual couples when he was not? 15 min of fame perhaps?
Of course they knew! Pretty sure he was hoping to be the “first” MAFS homosexual guy to be matched in a gay marriage. It could have been an amazing keynote adventure for us and a first for the show! Obviously, they didn’t have the courage to follow through! Shame on them!! Shame on them!!!
Personally I think they added a 4th couple because last season, they basically had only 2 couples and that wasn’t as interesting. Mia and her husband went south on the honeymoon and it wasn’t good the rest of the season so we saw less and less of them it seems. SO this season they took 4 couples so if something happened they still had 3.
Anyone watching could see Luke was gay, and he was extraordinarily cruel with what he said, and he wasn’t honest.That was really hard for Kate and hurtful. Sure wish Kate would have grown a spine and told Luke off! By the way Pastor Cal, your comments to Will on decision day were out of line, and uncalled for. Will was clear he did not want to proceed with Jasmine, who are YOU to tell him what’s good for him and berate him for not doing what you think he should do??
I thought the crappy match of Tristan with a stalker is what made the previous season worth watching. It was all we talked about here except for the people who were overly obsessed with Danielle’s eyebrows. I’d have to think really hard to remember who the third couple even was that season. And I haven’t had enough caffeine yet today for my thinker to think that hard. :0
Oh and welcome to the madness.
Is it possible that Luke was abused by his mother as a young boy, and he was damaged from the “repulsive” and inappropriate relationship? Did he jump into a televised marriage in order to sever the ties with his mom once and for all. Think of how upset she seemed on his wedding day…. asking him several times if he was sure he wanted to go through with it. He brushed her off at the door, and perhaps he thought he could escape some kind of ugly past with mom by marrying Kate. He did actually seemed to care about Kate at times, and slept with her; but frankly, he doesn’t have a clue what a proper relationship looks like. The strange way his mom spoke to Kate regarding the least she was looking for in their relationship, made me wonder if mom was still seeking to have some control over Luke by undermining Kate and the marriage. She seemed jealous and unwilling to believe or accept that Luke wanted to move on with as normal a life as possible. It is a sad possibility, because it seemed as though Luke was as confused about his feelings…. and had a habit of needing to keep their private conversations and activities a secret! Very interesting habit, for a grown man.
I think he’s got mental issues. He reminds me of my exhusband, talking round and round in circles and putting the blame on everyone else but himself. I dunno if he’s gay, i doubt it. I think they owe Kate some therapy and some cash.
Please watch the reunion TT! I’ll survive but
..I really want to hear what you have to say!
I thought I already put it up! ARGH! I had a few things that I needed to do regarding the back end stuff and just forgot it was not quite done. It’s up now! Thanks for letting me know.
It was so wrong to let this go on. Luke knew he was gay and he shouldn’t have been allowed to play with someone’s emotions on national television like this. Its disgusting and shows what typenodnperson he is to go through with knowing he was gay.
Just now watching this season. This is a shame. They need to check these contestants out more thoroughly. ESP in regard to sexual orientation. Luke is a horrible person to do this to someone like Kate. She tried hard and hung in there. I’m sure production told her that sometimes attraction comes later in a relationship, and to focus on building a foundation etc. I hope she got something out of this nightmare, at the very least, the divorce costs!
