Despite a few bumps in the road, such as Olajuwon's antiquated view of marriage, Katina and her husband appeared to be falling in love one month into the extreme experiment.
Everything seemed to be going great for the couple until Olajuwon suddenly dropped a bombshell on Katina while they were enjoying a nice dinner out with three other Married at First Sight fourteenth-season couples: Jasmina Outar and Michael Morency, Lindsey Georgoulis and Mark Maher, and Noi Phommasak and Steve Moy.

During a March 16 appearance on Married at First Sight: Afterparty, Katina watched back a Season 14 clip of Olajuwon calling her out in front of the rest of the cast.
"If we're going to be honest, it's something I noticed today on my way here that bothers me," Olajuwon announces at the dinner table, without disclosing Katina's alleged mistake or wrongdoing.
"It makes me question, 'Is this marriage somewhat real?' I would've brought it to you, [Katina], before, because I saw it on my way here. I've been holding it in."
Katina asks, "But you brought it to everybody now without addressing it with me in private."
"Whatever it is, when I explain it, you're my wife," Olajuwon shouts. "This shouldn't be a conversation. That's how petty this is."

Lindsey chimes in how Olajuwon was ride or die for Katina but he definitely blindsided her in that moment with his random comment.

"You know it's real when you have Lindsey trying to defend you," Afterparty host Keshia Knight Pulliam pointed out, referring to how Katina and Lindsey didn't really get along while filming the season.
When asked what she was thinking when Olajuwon questioned their whole marriage in front of everyone, Katina replied, "Honestly, I feel confused. I feel betrayed, too, because I would never do that -- even to my own friend, I would never do that."
Katina continued, "I understood that there was an issue, but I know I didn't do anything. So, for me, because I know I didn't do anything, it's more so like you're trying to embarrass me now."

Jasmina joined Katina on the Afterparty special and admitted how she and Michael actually got into an argument that same night over the jaw-dropping situation.
"It wasn't even an argument. It was just, 'He did that to my friend?!' I was so upset at Olajuwon. And [Mike] being Olajuwon's friend... Mike knew. And so Mike was trying to calm me down because I was just so upset," Jasmina shared.
"And I was like, 'What could it be?! Because that doesn't make any sense!'"
Jasmina added, "I didn't appreciate it being brought to the whole table, because that it their own personal business and that rubbed me wrong. I don't care how it looked; it just rubbed me wrong."
Keshia pointed out how Olajuwon was probably "just scared" because he seemed "all the way in" to his marriage with Katina, whom he really cared for at that point.

Keshia also suggested that since Olajuwon was "afraid," he was acting out of fear and panicking.

Katina recalled a very awkward and tense ride home from that couples' dinner in which she "actually tried to escape."
"I was like, 'Get this [microphone] off me,'" Katina said. "And so we were driving home and we're just going back and forth.'"
Jasmina was also in the car and said she was still wondering what possibly could have happened to piss Olajuwon off.
Once Katina and Olajuwon returned to their Boston apartment, Olajuwon finally revealed his issue. He apparently saw a dating app on Katina's phone, which she insisted was "old."
"It doesn't matter. Why do you have that?" Olajuwon asked.
"I don't have a profile. This is old," Katina explained of the app, which had allegedly been on her phone for a couple of years.
Katina told the cameras that she "literally forgot it was even there," but Olajuwon was very angry and said Katina would probably feel terrible if she found a similar app on his phone.
"The fact that it's still there on your phone and you still keep it there, it's spit in my face," Olajuwon complained. "Because that sh-t is the first thing I deleted [when I got married at first sight]. All I hear are excuses."
Olajuwon thought it was "f-cked up" and yelled at his wife, "You are married!"

Katina said if she had found a dating app on Olajuwon's phone, she would have brought it to his attention and demanded an explanation -- without taking things to "the level" Olajuwon was on.
Olajuwon reminded Katina how he had to put his trust and faith into a woman he barely knew and deleted every single thing in his life that would make Katina question who he is as a person.
Katina rolled her eyes, which escalated the situation and made Olajuwon furious.
"I'm rolling my eyes because you're yelling at me!" Katina said.
"We don't need to talk. We don't need to talk," Olajuwon snapped.
Katina shouted at Olajuwon for not listening to her, and then she ripped off her microphone and announced how filming was done for the night, before she threatened producers that they were "about to see the real Katina."
Olajuwon was left questioning Katina's character, saying it was "common sense" for his wife to have deleted all dating apps before getting married.
"I don't like to use the word 'divorce,' but if you're asking the experts to find your love, then got off the apps. That doesn't make sense. If you want to be out there looking for yourself then you don't need to be on Married at First Sight," Olajuwon concluded on last week's episode.
