The shocking true story of the lies and manipulation used by one of Australia's biggest TV production companies.
The full inside story of the bullying tactics, clever editing, and storyboarding used to create a TV phenomenon.
This tell-all castmate who appeared on season 5 of Married at First Sight was at the bad end of their editing process. In this book, he puts it all on the line despite pressure from Channel 9's publicity team and the threats by their lawyers.
In 2018, Sean Thomsen became one of the most recognized members of the TV show Married at First Sight because he wore the infamous gold jacket to the reunion. But, like the well-favored stars on the hit show, Sean's inside look at the world of reality TV revealed that all was not as it seemed. Despite the promotion of 'helping Australian singles find their potential lifelong partner using the science of matchmaking', the show has quickly devolved into an oppressive ordeal - with strict rules, manipulative producers, and battles with ambitious egomaniacs - and nearly drove Sean to take his own life in the aftermath.
Married Lies is Sean's introspective account of his time inside the experiment; the lies, harassment, and relentless social media abuse. Get the real, behind-the-scenes tale on the producers' whatever-it-takes attitude and ruthless focus on profits, ratings, and notoriety - truth be damned.
But Married Lies is also a chronicle of transformation and personal power. By telling his story, both a cautionary tale and a celebration of personal empowerment, Sean shares everything he's learned about resilience in the face of adversity. With his extensive knowledge of self-development and unique style, Sean will help you with making the first step to change.

• Overcome adversity and redirect your mind • Gain certainty and core confidence to change your career, relationship, or lifestyle • Decide what you want and establish your true course in life
In Married Lies you will discover that no matter what life throws at you, your destiny is in your own hands.
