‘Are you kidding me?’ Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon reveals how she got into a FIGHT with a stranger over COVID-19 restrictions… while working out at a Melbourne park

She’s one of the breakout stars from this year’s season of Married At First Sight.

And on Friday, Hayley Vernon revealed on Instagram how she got into a fight with a stranger over COVID-19 restrictions, while working out in Melbourne that day.

Dressed in activewear, the 32-year-old told fans how she was blocked from running up the 1000 Steps at the Kokoda Memorial Walk.

‘Are you kidding me?’ Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon, 32, revealed on Instagram Stories on Friday, how she got into a FIGHT with a stranger over COVID-19 restrictions… while working out at a Melbourne park 

While still in the park, Hayley took to the social media site to vent her frustrations.

The reality star had taken a short break from isolation to work on her fitness, looking sensational in a grey zip-up jacket, and drawing attention to a radiant complexion.

‘Alright, so I’ve literally just had a fight with some random because I’m here at the 1000 Stairs (Steps), timing myself, just getting the heart rate up,’ she began.

‘I got to a point on the stairs and there was this couple with their arms out blocking it, and I said, “What are you doing?”

‘And they’re like, “Did you read the sign at the bottom that says no passing during COVID-19?”‘

The fitness enthusiast went on to recall how the stranger told her to ‘read the sign’ and wait for the second wave’ (of restrictions to be eased).

‘Are you kidding me?’ Hayley continued in the Instagram clip, adding that ‘common sense should prevail’ when working out amid times of uncertainty. 

Hayley said the stranger threatened to ‘dob’ her in, by reporting her to Parks Victoria.

She responded on camera by letting out a few expletives and making a rude finger gesture.

It is understood locals are still able to access the park, as long as they go in a singular direction and maintain 1.5 metre social distancing. 

The Melbourne-based star became a household name after debuting on the 2020 season of Nine’s social experiment, Married At First Sight.

She had a tumultuous relationship with ‘husband’ David Cannon, who infamously used her toothbrush to clean a dirty toilet.

Hayley has since become a social media influencer with a top talent agency.
