Married At First Sight’s Jacqui Burfoot is set to deliver one of the most savage Final Vows speeches in the show’s history – and Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal every brutal word before it airs on screens.
In the leaked speech, the 29-year-old lawyer doesn’t hold back as she calls out Ryan Donnelly’s ‘controlling’ behaviour, lack of empathy, and refusal to take accountability during their turbulent on-screen marriage.
Jacqui, who wed Ryan, a 37-year-old actor from Sydney, begins her vows by admitting she entered the experiment a ‘hopeless romantic’ – but walked away shattered and emotionally drained.
The speech quickly turned icy as Jacqui reflected on their chaotic wedding day and rollercoaster relationship, describing it as ‘not a love story, but a story about love.’
She then delivered a series of bombshell claims about the darker side of their relationship that viewers never got to see.

‘I have tried my hardest in this relationship, but please don’t mistake my meekness for weakness, my tolerance for approval, my forgiveness for satisfaction,’ she added.
In one of the speech’s most savage lines, Jacqui tells Ryan: ‘In a world of red flags, you’re the red carpet.’
The lawyer also accuses her groom of silencing her, allowing his friends to speak badly about her, and crossing her boundaries – leaving her feeling mentally exhausted and isolated.
‘I don’t want to be told who I can and can’t be friends with,’ she declares at one point.
‘I don’t want to be scolded like a child. I want to be able to speak without being shut down.’
Jacqui’s fiery words painted a picture of a marriage filled with arguments and emotional manipulation behind the scenes, slamming Ryan for his ‘lack of self-reflection’ and failure to support her at crucial moments – including the dramatic Final Dinner Party.
‘Instead of standing up for me, you flipped the script, dragged up a letter from two weeks ago and tried to make me the villain,’ she reveals.
The scathing speech also referenced an off-camera incident in Campbelltown where Ryan allegedly ‘yelled and scolded adults’, which Jacqui said was the final straw.

‘I have tried my hardest in this relationship, but please don’t mistake my meekness for weakness, my tolerance for approval, my forgiveness for satisfaction,’ she said
In one final gut punch, Jacqui told Ryan: ‘While I love it when your big biceps pick me up, hug me, dip me and throw me in the pool, they will never be the reason I get pregnant.’
She closes her vows by telling Ryan she ‘doesn’t need a man, she needs a husband’ and that she chooses peace over drama.
A production source told Daily Mail Australia: ‘Producers were shocked when Jacqui delivered her vows – no one was expecting her to go that hard.
‘It was one of the most brutally honest speeches we’ve ever heard on the show.’
