MAFS star calls out online trolls after attack: 'Vile'

Married At First Sight star Melissa Rawson has been forced to remove a video due to relentless online trolling. The reality contestant, who met her now-husband Bryce Ruthven on the 2021 series of the show, said she deleted recent content after online people not only harassed her but those in support of her.

"They were trolling people that followed me, so I removed it because no one deserves that," she said.

Melissa and Bryce had a controversial run on the reality series after Bryce became one of the "villains" on the 2021 season, but have since put the show behind them and gone from strength to strength, welcoming twin boys in October 2021 and tying the knot officially in 2023.

Earlier this year, Bryce spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle about his villain betrayal and how the couple turned their story around and won over a fanbase, saying it’s important for couples who stay together after MAFS to be genuine and let their lives grow naturally.

“I think that's why maybe we've developed quite a loyal following and even changed people's perspective on us as a couple, and even myself to some degree," he said. "I can only speak on behalf of myself, but I certainly don't try and portray this personality that everyone loves me and loves everything about us. We know that and we're accepting of it, it's part of life, so it's just one of those things.”

MAFS' Melissa Rawson calls out 'vile' trolls

Unfortunately part of the trolling Melissa has faced online has now included her sons, Levi and Tate. "You will have noticed I have removed a video because of all the trolling. People say I don't care about my children and that sort of stuff," Melissa said on Instagram, before adding that she would limit the amount of content she featured her children in.

"I won't share much content with the twins any further, no one needs to be attacked for supporting me. I can't stand people who send vile messages," she said.

She later shared a post of her reading in bed, thanking people for their support.

Melissa and Bryce recently celebrated their fourth anniversary, with Melissa sharing they both initially forgot it had been four years since they first met as strangers while filming MAFS.

" POV: When you both completely and utterly forget that yesterday four years ago you got 'married' on national TV and met for the first time," she wrote on an Instagram post, holding a large bouquet of flowers and two bottles of wine.

"Four years later, you're still together, married with twins and a big life change under way."
