Married At First Sight: Stacey Hampton reveals the TRUTH about her legal career


‘Did you get your law degree from a cereal box?’ Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton reveals the TRUTH about her legal career after Hayley Vernon questions her qualifications

Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton was forced to come clean about her legal career after rival Hayley Vernon questioned her about it on Sunday night.

After repeatedly referring to herself as a ‘lawyer’ on the controversial reality show, Stacey admitted she’s yet to actually practice law – and is just a law graduate.

‘I just got admitted to the bar – I’m not allowed to practice law,’ claimed Stacey, while defending her achievements in front of all of the other brides.

According to Stacey’s Linkedin, she became a Bachelor of Law in 2017 after years of studying at the University of South Australia – and also has a graduate diploma in legal practice from The College of Law.  

In 2019, Stacey shared a picture proudly holding her legal admissions certificate on the steps of the Supreme Court of South Australia.

‘What if I told you, you can do anything you put your mind too [sic]? Success is something you gain when you decide you can’t fail,’ she captioned the picture.

During Sunday’s girls’ night, Hayley started mocking Stacey after she wouldn’t believe her ‘husband’ Michael Goonan cheated without any solid evidence. 

‘I’m a lawyer,’ cried Stacey, while dismissing Hayley’s confession of kissing Michael during a production break as there was no video evidence to prove it. 

Hayley laughed: ‘Where did you get your law degree? Out of a cereal box? You’re 25 and have had two kids, have you practiced? Please.’

Stacey hit back: ‘You think you’re so high and mighty, you’re such a liar. You’re a bulldog. I just got admitted to the bar – I’m not allowed to practice law.’

The pair continued to fight, with Hayley responding: ‘You’re not a lawyer, you’ve just studied. Would you like a tissue or a box?’

Stacey spat back: ‘I’d rather you just f**k off, everyone would be much happier.’

Married At First Sight continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
