Married at First Sight contestant Madeleine Maxwell has opened up about her short but memorable stint on season 11 of the hit reality show.
The 30-year-old physical medium and actress bizarrely burst into tears after seeing a herd of cows during her honeymoon with husband Ash Galati.
During the infamous episode, Madeleine was devastated when she saw the cows, after eating beef the day before.
Sales manager Ash, 33, was left perplexed, admitting he couldn’t understand her emotional outburst.
However, on Wednesday, Madeleine explained to Yahoo Lifestyle that she has been vegan and vegetarian on and off for several years.

She also claimed that a lot of context was taken out of the scene, saying it all started after a conversation in the car the day before.
“So we were driving towards Slaughterhouse Road. And that happened because, obviously, we’re talking about slaughterhouses, at the time I was taking medication for my skin and I needed healing very quickly. So I ate meat, not red meat, but meat,” she told the newspaper.
“So that was a topic of conversation that made me realize that I was on the verge of being like, with nature, with the cows, and that that kind of connection would probably come back,” continued the actress.

Madeleine explained that her emotional reaction was also fueled by producers, who had asked her moments earlier about a previous relationship.
The Home and Away actress admitted that seeing the cows added to the “guilt” and “shame” she already felt about her ex.
It comes after Madeleine revealed why she never attended the explosive reunion.
Madeleine told Yahoo Lifestyle that she has been vegan and vegetarian on and off for several years.
The psychic medium left fans perplexed by her absence from the highly anticipated reunion, leaving her ex-husband Ash Galati alone to face the rest of the group.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia about the no-show, Madeleine said she simply didn’t align with Married At First Sight and wanted nothing to do with the program following its dramatic exit earlier this season.
“I chose not to go to the reunion because I didn’t feel aligned with the production itself,” the former Home and Away actress said enigmatically.
“The production itself was at odds with what they sell in Australia.”
