Fans slam ‘desperate’ and ‘pathetic’ Melissa as she admits she’s in love with Bryce

During Sunday’s Married At First Sight reunion, Melissa Rawson was presented with fresh evidence that Bryce Ruthven had hidden a secret girlfriend from her.

But the workplace trainer sent shockwaves through both the reunion and social media when she begged her co-stars to stop coming to her with ‘evidence’ of the radio announcer’s alleged infidelity.

‘I have no sympathy for Melissa anymore. This is what she wanted,’ wrote one aghast fan. 

When Melissa and Bryce took to the couch to speak to the experts on Sunday night’s finale, Melissa asked for people to stop coming to her with ‘information’ about her beau.

‘I understand that people have said that they’re looking out for my best interests, which I absolutely respect,’ began Rawson.

‘But also respect my decision.’ 

Booka asked Melissa, ‘Like, you’re done – you don’t wanna hear any information [about Bryce cheating] if we’re to be contacted, any of us? Because that’s what keeps happening.’ 

‘I don’t,’ stressed Melissa. ‘I’ve said it. I’ve said it time and time again, and I know that the evidence continues to pile up.’ 

‘But I’m in love with Bryce. And this is my decision. I’m here.’ 

‘We’re happy. Just let it go,’ concluded the reality TV star.

And outraged viewers made their feeling clear on Twitter, with one gobsmacked fan writing, ‘I used to feel sorry for Melissa but she has just reached a whole new level of desperate, it’s actually pathetic now.’

Another vented that Melissa was ‘so desperate for a relationship she’s going to settle for a gaslighting, manipulative, pathological liar.’ 

And yet another quipped that ‘If Melissa walked in on Bryce mid-stroke with another woman she would apologise for interrupting him and plead for forgiveness.’ 

The mounting ‘evidence’ presented on Sunday was a recording of Bryce’s Canberra-based friends discussing the ‘girlfriend’ Bryce was rumoured to have outside the experiment. 

Bryce claimed his friends were ‘basically…told that was going on and to push an agenda.’

After her husband claimed his friends were ‘acting,’ Melissa seemed to not buy into Bryce’s explanation, admitting, ‘If it’s true, we’ll work it out if we can’. 

On Sunday, Melissa told Daily Mail Australia she was satisfied by her ‘husband’s’ reassurances, saying ”I wouldn’t be with Bryce if I wasn’t, so people just need to let [the rumours] die already.’
