Married at First Sight star Taylor Dunklin insists she never knew being on her phone was a problem for Brandon Reid or bothered him so much during filming.

On the March 4 broadcast of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, Taylor watched back a Season 10 clip in which she made Brandon dinner and then the pair bickered at the table over her alleged bad attitude.

When Taylor took out her phone to take a picture of the beautiful meal she had made, Brandon vented to the cameras how Taylor was more committed to her Instagram page than she was to him. Brandon was clearly annoyed Taylor was on her phone when he was trying to spend time with her.
Unfiltered host Jamie Otis asked Taylor if her phone usage had been an issue for her in past relationships.

"It honestly wasn't an issue that I heard of. He's never really brought it up to me," Taylor said of Brandon.
"He's actually on his phone working all the time, and I also work from my phone. It's never anything he's brought up to me. So to hear it now, it's like, he'll say something to the camera but you can't even say that to me."
Taylor added, "It's like, if you had a problem with that, bring it up, and I can change it."
Taylor was joined by MAFS expert Dr. Viviana Coles and fellow Season 10 bride Jessica Studer on the Unfiltered broadcast.
Viviana said although her observations were going to sound surface level, Brandon just needed to "look at what's in front of him."

"But the fact he can't makes me think, 'What is going on inside? What is he holding onto? What is this chip that's on his shoulder that isn't coming out?' Please just share it with your wife," Viviana urged.
"You don't have to share it with everybody else -- although that's what this [experiment] is all about -- but at least share it with her so she can help you through it."

Taylor appeared hurt by Brandon's comments especially because of the timing.
"Honestly, it feels really weird [watching that clip back] because I had just went out of my way to go to three different stores to cook dinner for him," Taylor admitted.

Viviana pointed out the dinner looked "really good," and Jamie couldn't believe Taylor had cooked that feast all by herself.
"Yeah! I made steak and shrimp and crab because that's what he requested! So it's like, 'How am I coming to dinner with a bad attitude?'" Taylor complained.
"It's just so confusing. I wanted to try and do the things that he asked, and it's just like, 'Why would I do all of these things and come to you with an attitude?'"
When asked for her thoughts on the Married at First Sight clip, Jessica joked she just wanted "to eat the food."
"If he's not going to eat that plate, I'll come join you and you can cook for me like that!" Jessica joked.

"Same!" Jamie shouted.
"And I would be disappointed if I put that much effort into it and all I got was, 'Yeah, thanks,'" Jessica confessed.

Not only did Brandon voice frustration over Taylor's phone usage, but he also accused her of signing up for Married at First Sight to be on television and become a reality TV star.
In the latest episode of Married at First Sight's tenth season, Brandon and Taylor met with Dr. Pepper Schwartz to get to the bottom of their biggest argument yet.
Brandon had moved out of his shared apartment with Taylor after discovering she had posted a video to her Instagram Stories claiming she was single and having trouble finding the right man.
Although Taylor initially told Viviana that she had posted the video to be funny and share her struggles with friends, she told Pepper a different story.
"He took his anger at production and then changed it to me," Taylor vented of Brandon, who had an outburst during the couple's last day of their honeymoon in Panama.
"I told him, 'I'm not going to tolerate disrespect.' And I've been disrespected every day. If I'm not being disrespected, I'm being ignored every day. And it's just like, 'You know? I'm done.' That's why I posted the video."
Pepper pointed out each party had done something seriously wrong in their marriage and so they could choose to forgive each other and start fresh, but Brandon said it would be hard for them to move on because Taylor wasn't genuinely sorry or accepting any wrongdoing.

"So where are we?" Pepper asked.
"I'm done," Brandon noted with a laugh.
"I'm over this. I can't be with her. She's not sorry! There's not one person who would see that video and not think it's disgusting. She was trying to hurt me and I can't be with someone like that."
After Brandon claimed men had also been calling Taylor's phone at 3AM, he made production remove his microphone, and then he stormed out of the apartment.
"And there's nothing I can say or do?" Pepper questioned.
"No," Brandon replied.
But Taylor later admitted to still having feelings for Brandon, so she planned to invite him to a friend's party. Taylor said she didn't want her marriage to fail.
Married at First Sight, which currently airs on Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on Lifetime, also stars Jessica's husband Austin Hurd, Meka Jones, Michael Watson, Mindy Shiben, Zach Justice, Katie Conrad, and Derek Sherman.
