MAFS stars are breaking their contracts to expose 'trainwreck' show

Married At First Sight is falling apart behind the scenes.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Channel Nine staffers are working around the clock to desperately try and contain things, as cast members continue to break their contracts by speaking out publicly.

'The majority of the participants feel powerless and are sick of being silenced and told what they can and can't say to try keep up the facade,' said an insider. 

'Most of the storylines were completely manufactured, and they're forced to watch their reputations get trashed by editing tricks while unable to defend themselves'. 

The source added: 'Although their contracts state they can't do interviews or speak publicly, even on social media, without Nine's approval, nobody cares any more. 

'They all know that there will be no legal consequences and instead Nine's publicity department will just try and bury whatever they dare to say.'

One contestant from the 2019 season, who asked to remain anonymous, said that they 'hate' how they've been edited. 

Although Channel Nine has access to the participants' Instagram accounts, most of the stars are nonetheless using the social media platform to discredit the show.

Last week, Bronson Norrish uploaded a pre-approved post urging fans to vote for the show to win a Logie Award - but changed the agreed caption at the last minute.  

'It's a trainwreck of a show,' wrote Bronson. 'Exploiting people who came in it for the right reasons by manipulating their emotions and pairing them with their exact opposites for your viewing pleasure.

'But, like all car crashes, it's impossible to look away. I hope you enjoyed the carnage enough to vote TVWeekLogies #mafs.'

Moments later the caption was edited to: 'Like all car crashes, it's impossible to look away. I hope you enjoyed the carnage enough to vote TVWeekLogies.com.au'.

When it comes to Instagram, each Married At First Sight cast member is given a list of strict rules to follow.

Each post and caption must be pre-approved by Channel Nine's social media team, and anything shared without permission will be deleted or edited.

If a cast member wishes to share something not related to the show, they must first email the post to a designated 'MAFS Team' email account asking permission.

Sources tell Daily Mail Australia that Nine staff have control of a contestant's Instagram account for around two weeks after they leave the program. 

On Saturday, Billy Vincent broke the rules by sharing a photo of himself mocking his 'wife' Susie Bradley's cosmetically enhanced lips. 

At the time, he was still technically 'married' to Susie on the show, as Sunday night's commitment ceremony had yet to air.

The photo was removed by Nine's social media administrators within the hour, but only after it had been viewed thousands of times. 

Billy also shared two videos on Sunday immediately after his exit from the show, but these clips - which did not portray the producers in a positive light - were removed within minutes. 

Similarly, Martha Kalifatidis launched into a furious ranted against Nic Jovanovic on her Instagram Story on Monday - but this was deleted after just 17 minutes.  

Mick Gould was one of the first participants to break his contract this season. 

In the early days of his 'marriage' to Jessika Power, Daily Mail Australia understands that he point-blank refused to do
