Martson says 90 Day Fiance is fake
While fans have been lashing out at Martson and Smith for being dishonest, she says that they only reason the couple lied about their relationship status was because producers asked them to do so.
“We have been asked to be very deceptive about many things during our run with the show,” Martson claimed. “We have been asked (and agreed for some time) to fake our relationship by not posting anything that makes us appear that we are together.”
“Personally, I thought this show was just for entertainment & that’s what we were told. Since the show has ended I never confirmed the status of our relationship due to the contract.” she added.

TLC has not commented on Martson’s allegations. Previously, Martson had said that she and Smith were scheduled to appear in two more series for TLC. It’s not clear whether her latest Instagram post will affect those plans.
