OneMarried at First Sightcouple is having an especially rocky start to their new union.
In a sneak peek of Tuesday night’s episode (shared exclusively with PEOPLE), Thompson looks overwhelmed while speaking with Eric Detwiler, an executive producer forMarried at First Sight, about the situation.
“I know that s— can get fabricated when it comes to exes and things like that nature,” Thompson, a 29-year-old tutoring club owner, tells Detwiler. “I get it but that doesn’t stop the fact that I have to live with this s— right now. All of this is piling up, and now I’m sitting here not knowing who I just married.”
According to court documents, 29-year-old Bally was previously charged with three counts of stalking and one count of unauthorized use of a credit card involving an ex-boyfriend.

“We’ve talked throughout this process about being open with you about everything,” Detwiler told Thompson in the clip. “We ran every background check possible. The warrant — it was a shock to all of us … I think what’s important about what’s in here is that there are two sides to every story. We don’t know Mia’s story yet.”
Kinetic Content’s CEO Chris Coelenpreviously explained the casting process to PEOPLE, saying that potential participants undergo “extensive written evaluations” only available to licensed therapists or government agencies “that take hours and hours to complete.”
Coelen estimated the initial casting process to be about six months and the final casting to be a minimum of four to six weeks. While final casting “is done over a relatively short period of time,” the time potential participants spend with the show’s experts, undergoing psychological evaluation and filling out questionnaires “is very, very intense,” he said.
