Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon has taken to Instagram to defend her “great friend” Seb Guilhaus after he was charged with drug trafficking.

The pair were contestants on the reality show in 2020 with separate partners, but have more recently made headlines for starring in an OnlyFans porn film together.

Guilhaus is behind bars after being arrested on Friday when police raided his property, allegedly seizing methamphetamine with a street value of at least $90,000.

The 35-year-old OnlyFans star fronted Adelaide Magistrates Court charged with one count of trafficking in a commercial quantity of methamphetamine, reports The Advertiser.

Vernon said she was “shattered” by the news and had assumed Guilhaus was out “partying” when she hadn’t heard from him in a few days.

“I had no idea (about his arrest) until my inbox just now has been slammed with articles of an arrest,” she told her 72,000 Instagram followers.

“What I will say tho (sic) is over the past few months Seb and I had become great friends.

“I knew Seb was struggling with his mental health, gravitating to me to help and guide him - I just wish I had known what was (allegedly) going on so I could of helped him.”

Vernon said she had put up a post on Saturday asking if anyone had seen him.

“I am shattered for my friend and for what this now means for another young man’s life.”

Guilhaus was remanded in custody to reappear in court later this week for a bail hearing.

Police say the arrest follows an extensive investigation by the Serious and Organised Crime Branch.

Leading officer, Detective Superintendent Billy Thompson, described the 870g of methamphetamine found as “significant”.

“Methamphetamine causes terrible harm to users and to our communities,” he said.

“Those who traffic illicit drugs in these amounts do so purely for their own greed, they have no care for others.”

He urged any members of the public with information about the location, sale, or supply of illicit substances to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report it online.
