In a previous episode of Married at First Sight that aired on February 25, Madison confronted her past actions with deep remorse. Addressing her husband Allen, she expressed her regret for developing feelings for David during their marriage:
“I am truly sorry for hurting you and the pain I see I have caused you. This was not something that was intentional or planned or with malicious intent.”
