My Reno Rules sponsor Adrian Portelli has shocked fans by smashing parts of one of the show’s most controversial reveals.
On May 6, a video of him was posted to the Instagram page of his business, LMCT +, where he is standing in Emma and Michelle’s bathroom.
Sadly for the mother-daughter duo, judge Neale Whittaker likened the shower to a “tomb”, and Julia Green said it was “one of the worst” bathrooms she’d ever seen.
It featured a black toilet, black sinks, dark tiles, and a wooden vanity with a marble top, and the two women were furious with the critiques as they came in last place.
And it appeared that Adrian wasn’t a fan either as he sensationally took a sledgehammer to the room after filming.
In a video, which was released on Instagram a day after the episode aired, he highlighted a poll he did where he asked followers whether he should “smash” the black toilet.
With 96 per cent of them saying yes, he cheekily swung the hammer, which did in fact break it, and acted shocked about his actions.
He then swung the hammer around again, which damaged the shower wall behind him. He then did it again and broke one of the black sinks.
The business page captioned it with “Oops! 😅”, and Adrian commented, “Please don’t hate me @emmalouisevictoria @michellesweeny“.
Adrian has bought the houses for the series as well as providing the $1 million prize fund, so he has a lot invested in making sure they sell at the end!
Fans were divided about the stunt. Many were happy because they did not like the bathroom and pointed out that Emma and Michelle ignored Neale’s advice, despite his initial concerns.
“Adrian doing Adrian things 😳,” contestants Mitch and Shaz commented.
“Good job, it’s horrible,” one commented.
“Smash the tiles walls too please,” another added.
Others, however, were disappointed because they thought it was wasteful.
“Why break these items when someone could put them to good use,” one viewer posted.
“Wow with the so many families struggling this is just wrong 👎 great message!!!,” someone else commented sarcastically.
Other people called him out for not wearing protective glasses as he demolished the bathroom.
Channel Seven declined to comment when approached.
