<p id=”par-1_18″>Jamie Otis is speaking up about her falling out with fellow <a href=”https://cheatsheet.com/tag/married-at-first-sight”><em>Married at First Sight</em></a><em> </em>alum Cortney Hendrix. </p>
<p id=”par-2_92″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/married-at-first-sight-alum-cortney-hendrix-falling-out-jamie-otis.html/”>Jamie and Cortney</a> both appeared on the first season of the long-running reality show back in 2014. The two remained friendly after filming wrapped, but their relationship has cooled. In March, Cortney appeared on the <em>Married at First Sight: Secrets Revealed </em>special, where she revealed that it had been “a long time” since she’d talked to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/married-at-first-sight-alum-jamie-otis-husbands-huge-secret.html/”><em>The Bachelor </em>alum</a> and explained that they had fallen out because of their different approaches to parenting. Specifically, Cortney wasn’t a fan of the way Jamie used her kids for content on her social media channels. </p>

<p id=”par-3_11″>Now, months later, Jamie is sharing her side of the story. </p>
<p id=”par-4_53″>“I never addressed this publicly bc I was embarrassed…an ex cast-mate from <em>MAFS </em>(who I thought was a friend??) went on A <em>Married At First Sight</em> special and said ‘Jamie doesn’t know this but…’ and went on to publicly bash me on national television…,” she wrote in an October 8 post on <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DPkKnXiEuQS/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-5_21″>The mom of four went on to say that the “hate” she received on social media was exhausting and “so toxic.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_81″>“I used to cry and cry and cry. I didn’t want anyone seeing me crying about it though so I haven’t talked about any of this publicly. I didn’t want any of them to think they ‘won.’ I didn’t want to feel defeated. And them seeing me hurt felt like they won. … I talked to my therapist about it. She told me these are all signs of jealousy and to try to ignore it. Honestly, it’s easier said than done.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-cortney-hendrix-says-there-s-no-feud-with-jamie-otis”>Cortney Hendrix says there’s no feud with Jamie Otis </h2>
<p id=”par-7_49″>Jamie cast herself as the victim in her post, but Cortney says that’s BS. On her <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DPmFirGjstx/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>, she shared a screenshot of a text she’d just sent to Jamie saying that she was sorry she was hurt but that she stood by her belief that kids are not content. </p>
<p id=”par-8_84″>“Prior to the this text I sent this morning- the last communication I had with Jamie was Feb 2023,” she captioned the October 9 post. “This is not a feud. Bc I have no negative feelings. Simply a response now that Jamie has made multiple videos saying I’m bullying her. 6.5 months later after this episode aired. I told the world on tv that we weren’t friends anymore and we weren’t bc I didn’t like what you put on the internet about your children.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_29″>“The clip is on the internet – you can see exactly what I did and did not say,” she added. “Just because someone doesn’t like something doesn’t equal bullying.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_22″>During her appearance on the <em>MAFS </em>special, Cortney answered a question about her about her friendship with her fellow season 1 alum. </p>
<p id=”par-11_62″>“It’s been a long time since we talked,” Cortney said. “[We’re] just in different places … I do not follow them anymore,” she said, referring <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/married-at-first-sight-doug-hehner-reflects-on-jamie-otis-lack-of-initial-attraction-to-him.html/”>Jamie and her husband Doug Hehner</a>. “She had me on mute … I was messaging her and texting her and she didn’t text me back. So I was like, ‘You know what, this is not serving me.’”</p>
<p id=”par-12_44″>“I’m trying to say this in a nice way without, like, mom-shaming,” Cortney added. “Because I don’t believe that kids are content. But it’s not a feud. It’s not tea. She does not know that I feel this way because I’ve never expressed it.”</p>
