Married At First Sight’s Karla Juarez Reveals Why She Thinks Juan Franco’s Making “Calculated” Attacks On Her Character

Married At First Sight season 18’s Karla Juarez spent the season married to Juan Franco in a seemingly pleasant relationship, but after their marriage dissolved and their relationship became contentious, she’s sharing why she believes Juan’s attacking her online. Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, Karla and Juan’s relationship seemed like something that could turn out to be serious. Though the pair weren’t necessarily the right fit, they were a good match to build a friendship and see if an attraction would blossom. Though they chose to divorce on Decision Day, they stayed friends for nearly a year after.

In a recent interview with the Positively Uncensored Podcast, Karla opened up about her experience on MAFS with Juan, and shared what’s been happening in their increasingly hostile online feud in the show’s aftermath. Explaining that she feels the best way to describe Juan is “calculated,” Karla explained that she’s been struggling with how to handle the issues coming from her ex, who’s been calling her out for poor behavior. Karla shared that she’d blocked Juan after watching MAFS and seeing the way he talked about her, as it felt very different than his behavior in person.

Karla explained that she feels Juan “[knew] that it would serve him…and deflect from what he was actually doing and saying to make me look like the problem,” in their relationship. She revealed that though Juan says he has some sort of “integrity destroying” dirt on her, Karla doesn’t know what he’s talking about, sharing that she’d love for him to step up and share what he knows so they can move on with their lives. “I feel like he’s saying a lot with no proof,” Karla shared, revealing she’d be happy to provide her own receipts of their texts and other conversations.

What Karla’s Explanation Of Juan’s Behavior Means For Their MAFS Appearance

Although Karla and Juan’s MAFS relationship was something that seemed like it could blossom into a committed marriage, the fact that things have crumbled so quickly isn’t surprising. Seeing Karla and Juan operate on screen, their lives were incredibly different. Karla was more of a casual, fluid person who was able to change plans and enjoy the natural flow of life, while Juan clearly needed a structure that she wasn’t interested in. While Karla often tried to bend to Juan, he was less interested in bending to her needs. Their relationship wasn’t built to last, which Karla appears okay with.

As Karla has learned more about how Juan saw her, she’s become less interested in maintaining a relationship with him outside the show. Juan, who appears to be baffled by the idea that his words could’ve hurt his MAFS bride, has been attacking her character online and accusing her of creating burner accounts to go after him. Though Karla has been struggling with Juan’s behavior, she has revealed that she doesn’t think it’s entirely out of character. Seeing Juan as more calculated after Married At First Sight, Karla’s assessment of her MAFS husband is interesting, offering a new perspective.

Our Take On Karla’s Breakdown Of Juan’s Behavior

Throughout Married At First Sight season 18, some found Karla to be difficult to watch while others found her refreshing. As the season continued on, it became clear that Karla was who she was, whether people liked her or not, and most came around to respect her kooky sense of honesty. Karla dishing on Juan was fascinating, and sharing that after seeing the whole picture, she feels he’s a calculated person who has a lot to hide. It appears that there’s a lot missing from what Married At First Sight viewers saw of Juan’s personality on the show.
