less-than-ideal behavior. Allen’s now being slammed for his modeling background.

Within a post from spoiler MAFSFan on Instagram that revealed Allen had modeled in the past on local morning TV, the MAFS star replied to a few comments calling him out for his background to make it clear that things weren’t necessarily as cut and dry as they seemed. One MAFS fan, @soniamt_61, shared that she originally believed the MAFS season 18 cast “were recruited by the producers from an agency”, Allen replied sharing that the modeling gig “was just helping out a friend” and he had applied for the show despite some people speculating that he was recruited.

What Allen's Modeling Background & Response Means

Allen’s Not Necessarily Who MAFS Fans Think

Although Allen’s not necessarily who Married At First Sight viewers thought he was when he showed up on MAFS, his appearance on a local morning show doesn’t change who he is on MAFS. While Allen may have “modeled” for a segment on a morning news show, he isn’t a professional model by any means and shared that he was only in the segment to help out a friend. While Married At First Sight fans may be looking for any reason to explain Allen’s sketchy behavior in the last episodes of the series, his modeling isn’t the right place to look.

Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, viewers have been watching Allen closely and enjoying him until very recently. With Allen’s dangerous drunk driving having rubbed viewers the wrong way, many are now looking for any possible reason to turn against the MAFS star. Despite knowing that Allen has some behavior to apologize for, it’s clear that he’s still the kind-hearted guy who viewers were getting to know on the series, and an incredibly short stint modeling for his friend’s morning show segment doesn’t change that. While Allen’s more layered than MAFS viewers anticipated, his character hasn’t been totally destroyed.

Our Take On Allen's Modeling & Defense

He Seems Like He’s Being Upfront About His Past

Although Allen’s behavior on Married At First Sight has been somewhat difficult to get behind, it’s been clear that his mistakes on the series aren’t something he’s proud of. Allen has a lot to discuss about his MAFS appearance after the season finishes airing, but he’s been fairly upfront about who he is and what he stands for during his time on the series, which has made him someone viewers can root for. While some are dragging Married At First Sight season 18’s Allen for his past, his future is what viewers of the show should be interested in.

Married At First Sight airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
