When Married At First Sight’s Rebecca Zemek warned fellow bride Melissa Rawson about her groom Bryce and his “secret girlfriend”, viewers were filled with hope that the 31-year-old might finally leave the radio announcer and his gaslighting ways.
However, as loyal as ever, Melissa stuck by her groom as he attested that Bec’s claims were fabricated, even suggesting that she was making it up because she was “jealous”. Yeah, that’s totally the reason Brycey.
Despite Bryce insisting the 27-year-old was full of lies, Bec still stands by her claims. And recently issued a dire warning to Melissa about the radio announcer.
WATCH: MAFS’ Bryce’s secret girlfriend is exposed
Last week, MAFS star Bryce looked like a deer in headlights as Bec told the brides and grooms about a conversation the pair had had in the gym in which he revealed he had a girlfriend on the outside of the experiment.
“He was seeing a girl and his mate asked him if he wanted to get her a gift,” Bec told TV Week.
“He told me, in the gym, this information, along with telling me that he placed me first on the hottest/nottest little rating, as well as telling me that it would be easy enough to get to the end of the experiment with Melissa.”
Once Bec announced this information at the dinner party Bryce vehemently denied the claims, even though Bec recalled the conversation almost verbatim.
And now, the business manager stands firmly by her claims.

Appearing on The Anj, Rob & Robbo Show this week, Bec confessed her intentions behind bringing up her gym conversation with Bryce.
“I was trying to help the guy. I was like – this is your opportunity to say what you said… he dug himself a grave.” Bec said.
The 27-year-old went on to talk about Melissa and why she thinks that, despite maaaany red flags, the workplace trainer remained so loyal to Bryce.
“(Melissa) is not experienced in relationships, and she’s scared that Bryce is going to leave her.”
When asked what advice she has for Melissa, the reality star answered with a simple, but no less effective, “I would say run”.
And yet, it seems as though Melissa has not heeded her advice. Since the experiment ended, the 31-year-old has been spotted with Bryce on numerous occasions, looking very not platonic.
Not only that, in an interview with New Idea, Melissa confessed that she was glad to be paired with Bryce because he is so “outspoken”. That he is.
However, the workplace trainer also confessed that her on-screen groom’s comments still “trigger” her.
We all remember when Bryce told Melissa that she wasn’t his type… on their honeymoon; when he confessed he preferred blue eyes… many, many, many times; oh, and when he placed Melissa fourth when asked to rank the brides in terms of who he was most attracted to.
Speaking to New Idea, Melissa revealed that watching those moments back has been a real struggle.
“It is hard to watch back. I get very triggered.” the star confessed.
Despite it all, Melissa admitted she wouldn’t change the way she handled Bryce’s cutting remarks.
“I wouldn’t change the way I handled Bryce’s comments because I was 100% me at the time.”
We guess we’ll just have to wait and see whether these two go the distance.
