A Sydney designer, who had one of her designs featured on Married At First Sight, has said what we’re all thinking about the dating reality TV show.
Last night, Gabrielle Bartlett wore a charcoal cape with bejewelled shoulders from South of The Border Sydney. In an episode where viewers saw her stand strong in asking for what she wants and deserves in a relationship from her ‘husband’ Nassar, it was the perfect power piece.
But while designer Vanessa Cranfield was proud to see one of her pieces on screen, there is one thing about the show that has her concerned.
“The cape that Gab wore on Married At First Sight was South of The Border. It is my design from my head,” she wrote on Instagram.
“While I am very proud this beautiful woman chose to wear one of my pieces on TV, I am very concerned about the pile-on style of bullying that this style of reality TV show seems to provoke.
“More Sarah and Telvs please. I want the happy ending. I want the fairytale.”
Listen: Davina has FINALLY left the show. Clare and Jessie Stephens debrief on her departure, on our Married At First Sight recap podcast. Post continues after.
She’s not the first to comment on the bullying offline that has occurred this season.
It’s an opinion many have expressed on Twitter.
