"No!" Taylor replied with an awkward laugh.
"That's just, like, so funny to hear about yourself, that, 'You're trying to be on TV. You want a modeling career.'"
Following a disagreement over Taylor's alleged bad attitude and Brandon's alleged lack of effort in the relationship, Taylor went out with her girlfriends and posted a video on Instagram Stories claiming she was single and having problems "finding the right man."
The video -- which listed Taylor's qualifications, including a man who's 6'3" or taller -- apparently crushed and disappointed Brandon, who turned to his pal and Married at First Sight co-star Michael Watson for support.
Michael pointed out Taylor's video looked like some "reality TV show messiness," which prompted Brandon to reveal he had reservations about his wife's intentions from the start considering she has a huge following on social media.
"She's orchestrating some drama for just no reason... She's also talked to me about other reality shows she was going to be on and she couldn't do it because she was traveling at the time," Brandon claimed.
"I believe one was, like, Temptation Island or some other show, and she was available for this show."

Brandon vented to Michael about how he allegedly "got played on TV" and married someone who wanted to be a reality TV star.
"Are you in this for love or are you really just in this for yourself, to get more followers?" Brandon questioned.

Taylor, however, explained why she initially signed up for the extreme televised experiment on Married at First Sight: Unfiltered.
"[In response to rumors about my motives], it's like, no, I actually came off of a really bad breakup, and I was at a point where I was like, 'Man, there's probably no hope for me right now,'" Taylor said.
"So I was like, 'Wow, this is a great opportunity to have somebody come and find my match, the person that I'm supposed to be with.'"
In the video Taylor shared with her Instagram followers on Married at First Sight's tenth season, she said she wanted to find a man who's "over 6'3", has a job, never been to jail, or you know, isn't gay."
"I feel like I have the most minimal f-cking requirements to finding a man and not a soul meets them. So, I guess I'll just be single forever," Taylor said in the video, adding that she was looking for a man of any race who's "fine as hell" and has his "sanity in check."

Brandon decided to move out of his shared apartment with Taylor in Washington, D.C. after seeing the video, but Taylor thought she had done nothing wrong.
In fact, Taylor claimed during the Unfiltered broadcast she had just posted the video in order to throw off her followers, who had been grilling her with questions about her relationship status.

In the latest episode, Married at First Sight expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz met up with Brandon and Taylor together to get to the bottom of things. This was the first time the couple had seen each other since Brandon left his keys at the apartment and took off.
Although Taylor initially told Dr. Viviana Coles she posted the video to be funny and share her struggles with friends, she told Dr. Pepper a different story.
"He took his anger at production and then changed it to me," Taylor vented of Brandon.
"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."

Dr. Pepper pointed out each party had done something seriously wrong in their marriage going back to Brandon's outburst in Panama, 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?" Dr. 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?" Dr. Pepper asked.
"No," Brandon replied.
