On Married at First Sight's eighteenth season, David repeatedly lied to Michelle about a text he had accidentally sent her one night that read, "You are so damn fine I just wanna eat U up."
David first said he was commenting on a picture of food his cousin Denise had texted him, and then he changed the story and claimed he was responding to a sexy photo a woman named Tiffany -- whom he had allegedly been texting for about 10 days -- had sent him.
But Michelle suspected David had intended to send that text to Madison considering Madison is his type and the pair had been hanging out that very night with Allen and Karla.
When Michelle confronted Madison about her suspicion during the couples' retreat, Madison said David's sext "shouldn't have" been sent to her when Michelle was expecting Madison to say that such an accusation was absolutely ridiculous.
Madison admitted to having David's number and texting him before about the gym, but when Madison let Michelle scroll through her phone in attempt to prove she and David had no other interactions, there were no texts at all.
Michelle therefore became more suspicious of Madison since Madison had apparently deleted all texts with David when they were supposed to be innocent.
"It's infuriating, too, because she just won't admit it, and I keep asking questions in a calm way," Michelle told Keshia.
"And even at that point, I'm trying to be respectful, like, when she is blatantly not doing or giving me that same favor."
After Madison and Michelle's confrontation, a Married at First Sight producer named Jay asked Madison in private if there was any truth to Michelle's claims, and Madison sheepishly replied, "I don't know."
Madison went on to confess to the producer that she never wanted to hurt anybody and what was about to come to light would break her husband Allen Slovick's heart "into a million f-cking pieces."

Michelle said on Afterparty that she didn't understand why David and Madison didn't just come to her in the beginning about their blossoming relationship.
"You don't want to hurt someone, but you continued to lie," Michelle vented.
"I had been talking about David's text message for weeks at this point, so this isn't some new thing! She had weeks to come to me and say, 'I have feelings for David.'"
On Married at First Sight's latest episode, Madison asked David to speak with her about Michelle's detective work, and then Madison flat out admitted, "I like you."
Madison and David appeared to agree in that moment that they wanted to continue getting to know each other, and David told Madison that he truly felt a connection with her and believed she may be his "ride or die."
David also finally owned up to the fact he had meant to sext Madison and not a woman named Tiffany.
After watching Madison and David's exchange on the show, Michelle snapped on Afterparty, "I think they're a joke."
Michelle explained, "It's almost funny to them! He is pretending to be shocked that she likes him, like they haven't been flirting back and forth."

"The fact [Madison] was [innocently and naively] like, 'That message was for me?!' Like, come on! I'm pretty stoic, but deep down, that hurts my feelings. Yeah, it's hurtful," Michelle admitted.
David ultimately confessed to Allen that he and Madison had feelings for each other and wanted to pursue a romance, and Allen was completely heartbroken.
"David had told Allen, Allen loses it and he's punching walls, and the whole house pretty much knows what's going on," Michelle recalled of the explosive ending to the couples' retreat.
"And so then Allen leaves and I just happen to be standing there waiting for [David], and he tries to walk by and I was like, 'Do you have something to say?! Are you really just going to walk by me?' No one had even told me that what I thought was accurate besides Allen."
Michelle felt like David was trying to avoid her and that his apology for "everything" was not sincere.
"It felt like he was trying to blow me off, like I'm an annoying gnat. That's what it felt like in the moment. He was like, 'Madison asked me questions and that's why this happened,'" Michelle said.
When asked if there were any red flags earlier in the process that maybe Michelle overlooked, Michelle said there was a sign something was going on around the time of the cast's football game.
"There was one night we went out and it was all the girls and David and one of Madison's friends who came out as well," Michelle recalled.
"And I remember me, [Camille Parsons] and [Emem Obot] left together and he wanted to stay with Madison and her friend. Now, looking back on that, I'm like, 'Huh!'"
Once the couples' retreat came to a close, Michelle shared on Afterparty how there were still "a lot of things" she wanted to figure out.
"[I was wondering], like, 'How long has this been going on?'... Because they were caught they were like, 'Oh, we like each other starting today!'" Michelle claimed.
Michelle said "there is no way" that was truthful or accurate, but she at least felt validated.
