Bronte Schofield has been slammed by Married At First Sight fans for blindly defending her controversial husband Harrison Boon.
Some viewers have even accused the pair of “faking” their relationship to stay in the experiment.
“We all know Bronte and Harrison definitely played the game to extend their 15 minutes,” one tweeted.
“Harrison and Bronte can’t be real. The fact that they think Australia believes any of their shit. They are clowns,” added another.
“Bronte roughly agrees with Harrison’s disgusting gaslighting comments,” said a third.

“So obvious that Bronte and Harrison are only there for airtime,” mused one fan.
“I wouldn’t mind if it was entertaining, but her acting is so bad it all feels scripted and fake. Come on producers, I know we’re all in it, but you’re not even trying.
Bronte was left in tears after her co-stars accused Harrison of “emotionally manipulating” her this week.
The bubbly brunette, 28, was involved in tense scenes at the NSW Southern Highlands Retreat – where Claire Nomarhas gave her a stern warning.
Claire accused Harrison of trying to “emotionally manipulate” her, with Bronte hitting back, saying the other brides were just jealous.
“Never once did Harrison tire of manipulating me. Harrison doesn’t control me,’ Bronte said defiantly as the other brides spoke to her.
“I’m a grown woman and I have my own opinions. The reason they’re trying to turn on my relationship is because they’re jealous,” she added.

Bronte explained to the other brides that they “just want what Harrison and I have,” before Melinda stepped in to support Claire.
“We just think you’re being a little naive,” Melinda said.
“As several girls see it. We just don’t want you to go that route. We know you’re strong,” Alyssa added.
Bronte struggled with being called “naive” by Melinda.
“It basically calls me stupid and my relationship with Harrison isn’t real and it really hurts,” Bronte said.
Bronte explained that she felt attacked and teamed up.
“I felt attacked. I’ve never had to sit there and let people choose my relationship when I’ve gotten this far,” she said.
Bronte then stormed off, saying she needed a break.
“My husband is open and says how he feels. And they’re basically saying I’ve lost myself,” Bronte said.
“Why am I absolutely, completely being mocked for voting for him?”

The girls chose not to chase after Bronte, but Claire made her feelings clear despite the tense confrontation.
“Bronte, we’ll take care of you. We can see you’re being manipulated by that fucking idiot,” Claire said.
“You have five of your friends sitting in front of you telling you something is up. Something is not correct.’
Bronte later dropped the bombshell that she was in serious discussions with Harrison about moving to Sydney.
