Ultimatum star Lisa Horne has shocked Netflix viewers around the world after she was filmed slapping her boyfriend Brian Okoye after he flirted with another woman – before finding out she was ‘pregnant’ and the Series sensationally left.
The explosive new season, which sees couples split up and move in with a new partner after being given ultimatums, kicked off on Wednesday and was immediately thrown into chaos when the 31-year-old physically punched her significant other.
The drama unfolded at the end of the first episode when a frustrated Lisa witnessed 28-year-old Brian launch an attack on fellow contestant Riah.
As Lisa vented her anger at the beginning of the second part, she was seen pushing Brian away with her hand in front of Brian’s face in front of the other contestants who had gathered at a restaurant, causing a wave of anger from the viewers.

They then took their argument outside, where she repeatedly yelled at him, “What do you learn from her?” “That bitch doesn’t challenge you.”
‘What are you talking about?’ Brian answered. “You’re upset because I’m having a conversation?”
Their bitter feud ended with Lisa demanding to go home and screaming that their relationship was over. “We’re done,” she said. “Fuck marriage, fuck the ultimatum, fuck you.”
But the drama was far from over, and even before the episode’s credits rolled, co-host Nick Lachey revealed to the cast that Lisa and Brian had given up the social experiment because she was pregnant.
Speaking to the rest of the cast, who gathered around a dining table, he said, “You probably noticed the two empty chairs at the end of the table.” Lisa and Brian have decided to back off from the experience.
“We invited them to come here and tell you the news themselves, but they declined the invitation. “Lisa came to us and told us that she had taken a pregnancy test and it was positive.”
Discussing her bombshell pregnancy in episode three, Lisa admitted she was “nervous” about breaking the news to her partner.
“I’m surprised to be honest,” Brian replied. ‘Very surprised. Are you 100 percent pregnant?’

“I’m at 99.99 percent,” she confirmed, leading him to be excited: “That’s a lot, but I’m happy.” I’m super happy. I’m here for you. I love you.’
But angry Ultimatum viewers have slammed Netflix for “condoning” Lisa’s behavior and wondering why she wasn’t immediately banned from the series.
Fans are also speculating about the legitimacy of Lisa’s pregnancy announcement.
She hasn’t shared any pictures of her pregnancy journey on her social media pages since filming the series last September.
“She hit him square and no one batted an eyelid,” one wrote. “Imagine a man doing that.” Also, if I were Brian, I’d actually want to see a positive pregnancy test. The whole situation is suspicious.’
“How the heck does The Ultimatum accept physical violence?” another quizzed.
A third added, “I really think they should have been removed from the show as soon as she hit him.” “That should be a line that once crossed, male or female, gets kicked out.” , even if that’s unfair to the one hit.”

While Lisa has yet to address the controversial scenes, she did tell her 19,000 followers on Instagram that she “put her heart on the line” on the Netflix series.
Controversy aside, Lisa, who shared this picture to Instagram just yesterday, has been keeping details about her pregnancy a secret, sparking speculation
Captioning a post on her social media profile, she wrote, “I put my heart on the line… was it worth it?” “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move season 2 is now on Netflix.”
Not surprisingly, the upload was inundated with criticism from viewers. One commented, “So you’re just not going to talk about how you punched that man in the face?”
“It was awful to see you squeezing his face,” said another. “Toxic as hell.”
The shocking scenes came just weeks after reality show Below Deck Down Under became embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal when ex-cast member Luke Jones climbed into Margot Sisson’s bed “without consent” while she was in her underwear sound asleep.
Luke was fired from the boat by Captain Jason Chambers along with second season Laura Bileskalne, who insisted her colleague was not to blame and was fired for showing “little respect and empathy” towards Margot.
Earlier this month, the reality stars of NBC and Bravo accused the networks of “covering up sexual violence, condoning revenge porn, exploiting minors and denying mental health treatment” in a bombshell letter.
TV personalities complained of “grotesque and depraved abuse.” The letter said both current and former stars have been “victims mentally, physically and financially.”
It was also claimed that they “were at risk of ruin should they decide to speak out about their abuse”.
In a statement, NBC said it is “committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows.”
The Ultimatum: Marry or Move on is available to stream on Netflix
