I was on Cheaters – EVERYTHING was fake and I’d never even met my ‘best friend’ on the show before we filmed

A PARTICIPANT on hit reality TV series Cheaters has claimed everything about it was fake.

The show – which was a syndicated weekly show in the US – featured couples with one partner who was committing adultery on the other person.

Each case was investigated by ‘Cheaters Detective Agency’, but a former participant has claimed the whole thing was staged.

Writing in a Reddit post, the person said: “I was on Cheaters when I was in college.

“A production assistant grabbed me in a mall and asked if I would play the scorned girl’s friend. Took about three hours.

“I just made a shocked face while she screamed at her boyfriend and his dressed-over-the-top-sl***y lover in the first couple of takes, then they had be say a few ‘Oh my Gods’ and ‘come on, let’s just go, you don’t need him’.”

They went on to reveal how filming took a little longer due to production wanting to shoot some scenes in a car.

They continued: “Got a hundred bucks cash, signed a waiver, then went back to the mall and spent the money.

“Cheaters was 100 per cent fake by the way guys. I can assure everyone that between takes we were all being incredibly friendly with one another.

“We didn’t ask any personal questions, but the girl dressed sl***y was talking about being nervous for an audition, so I assumed she was a professional actress.”

Cheaters first aired in 2000 with Tommy Habeeb, before Joey Greco took over in 2004.

It continued with various hosts until May 2021.
