Chapter 1: What happened to Tim from Married At First Sight?
Hello and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with me, Joshua Fox, aka the guy behind the Maths Funny account. I'm just going to dive straight into all the drama today, and there's been a lot of chat going around that Tim has been fired from his job as a teacher over his portrayal on the show, but as far as I'm told, this isn't true. But I have been told that he is out of work at the minute.
But rather than getting fired or anything that dramatic, I've been told that simply his contract as a PE teacher at a primary school just wasn't renewed. And although he may believe this is because of his involvement with maths, the contract wasn't renewed prior to his episodes airing on TV. So maybe the school were anticipating a backlash or a controversy or...
Chapter 2: Is Tim's departure from teaching related to the show?
I don't know. Haven't been able to kind of get a hold of Tim to back anything up or confirm it. But the info I got was from someone kind of in teaching circles where he's from, and they've previously done a placement with him. So who knows? What I do know for certain, though, is he really has kind of gone to ground.
After deleting his socials and refusing to do any press for Channel 9, he's still fully ignoring any attempt at contact from the network, which, to be honest, is fair. Also, I kind of just want to say...
As much as my heart breaks for Katie and as much as he could have been so much nicer in how he treated her and worded things and responded to her, let's just all remember that like a week ago, this guy was just a random unknown bloke going about his business and now he's being called the most hated man in Australia.
And I'm not defending him because I don't agree with, you know, how he treated Katie, but... I suppose I also don't want to use my voice in the maths community to fan those flames of hate. I don't know, just imagine the impact it would have on your mental health if that was you. And if you're one of the viewers that are watching and feel so strongly that you feel compelled to send him hate,
Maybe just stop yourself and use the energy to send Katie love instead. This time last year, I was actually involved in an incident with a very famous actor where I ended up being the victim of something.
And I don't want to get into all that and Google it if you're confused, but an incident that lasted literally 30 seconds on a Saturday afternoon outside a pub ended up being leaked to a newspaper. And then it was picked up by, I'm not joking, every publication in the world. Like I... have close friends who live in Norway. And they were like, Josh, you were just on the news here.
And everything was taken out of context. It was sensationalized. Sources who weren't there were making shit up and just steering it further. I literally had news crews chasing me down the street at one point. And I received so much hate and threats and
anger from fans of this person who had no idea of the context that i honestly had this moment at one point of thinking this is my life now and if this is my life what's the point in carry on living because like in the thick of that media storm i thought that would never end and there was no way out and i was now just this hated figure globally
But like it did pass and everyone moved on and now I kind of laugh about it. I suppose what I'm trying to say is I kind of know how Tim will be feeling right now and it's a bizarre situation he's in. And again, I don't condone how he's treated Katie and the things he said, but he's still just...
