MAFS Bride Brook Crompton Faces Real-World Fallout Over Dinner Party Behaviour
Married At First Sight bride Brook Crompton appears to have suffered significant real-world consequences following her controversial antics at this week's dinner party episode. The 27-year-old model, who has become a central figure in the current season's drama, now faces the loss of friendships outside the experiment.
Love Island Star Publicly Condemns 'Bullying' Behaviour
Love Island star Tyra Johannes, who was a notable guest at Crompton's televised wedding to Chris Nield just weeks ago, has publicly slammed what she described as 'bullying' behaviour during Wednesday night's explosive episode. The 25-year-old reality personality took to her Instagram Stories on Friday to share a clear message with her followers.
'Let me be clear - I do not support tearing other women down,' Johannes began in her statement. 'I'll never stand behind mean girl energy or bullying. What's surfaced on MAFS over the last few days was shocking and really sad to see.'
She continued: 'Anyone who knows me or even watched me on TV should know this behaviour does not align with the type of person I am.' This public condemnation represents a significant shift from Johannes' previous support, as fans had previously spotted her sitting in the second row at Crompton's TV wedding, dressed in black and watching the nuptials unfold.
Social Media Unfollows Signal Friendship Breakdown
The public criticism appears to be accompanied by concrete actions on social media. Both Tyra Johannes and her boyfriend Kale Roberts, whom she met on Love Island in 2023, have unfollowed Brook Crompton on Instagram. This digital distancing suggests a complete breakdown of their friendship outside the reality TV sphere.
Similarly, Crompton and Roberts no longer follow each other on the platform at the time of writing. These social media moves provide tangible evidence of the real-world repercussions Crompton is experiencing following her controversial behaviour on the show.
Crompton's Emotional Apology and Reflection
The fallout comes after Brook Crompton issued an emotional public apology on Thursday, acknowledging her poor behaviour during the dinner party episode. The Queensland model, who is currently engaged to and expecting a child with her ex Harry, described watching the episodes as 'extremely difficult.'
'What you saw last night was the worst version of myself, and unfortunately Alissa and Stella were on the receiving end of that,' Crompton wrote in her Instagram post. 'I want to firstly, sincerely apologise to Alissa and Stella for my words and the hurt that I have caused.'
She continued: 'My actions were appalling and not at all a reflection of the kindness and respect that you both deserve, and I hope in time you can forgive me. I am truly sorry.' Crompton also extended her apology to other couples in the experiment and the viewing audience who witnessed her behaviour.
Addressing Bullying Allegations Directly
In a significant admission, Crompton appeared to agree with viewers' characterisation of her actions as bullying. 'Bullying should never be condoned, and I am extremely embarrassed by the way that I acted,' she wrote, acknowledging the widespread criticism from MAFS fans.
The model revealed that the dinner party was filmed in August last year, giving her several months to reflect on her behaviour. 'This behaviour is not a reflection of who I am at my core, and I hope that Australia will one day see this,' she added, promising to continue working on self-improvement.
Wider Context of the Dinner Party Controversy
Brook Crompton and her co-star Gia Fleur faced intense viewer backlash following their conduct during Wednesday's dinner party episode. The pair engaged in heated exchanges with co-stars Stella Mickunaite and Alissa Fay, with insults escalating to what many viewers described as 'dark places.'
The behaviour prompted widespread condemnation from MAFS fans, with many branding Crompton and Fleur as 'bullies' and calling for their removal from the reality show. The current developments suggest that the consequences of that episode are extending beyond television screens and social media commentary into real-world relationships.
Daily Mail has reached out to both Tyra Johannes and Kale Roberts for further comment on the situation, though neither has provided additional statements at this time. The unfolding drama continues to highlight how reality television behaviour can have tangible impacts on participants' lives outside the controlled environment of the show.
