Richelle was slammed for her ‘bullying’ behaviour towards husband Orson Nurse

Married At First Sight regulars were quick to blast Richelle from the show’s 2024 season as “vile” – yet she clapped back and accused bosses at the programme of “gaslighting” her.

After those at home were left stunned by the businesswoman’s choice of language, which saw her brand husband Orson Nurse, 41, “that cretin” and “not a strong man” relationship and sex expert Charlene Douglas, 43, exclusively gave her take to The Sun.

She told how she was “shocked” by parent Richelle – yet now she has hit back.

Re-posting The Sun’s article to her Instagram Stories she put: “Look at Charlene acting clueless like I didn’t talk about it on the couch and DM her after.

“These people,” followed by a skull Emoji icon.

Yet Richelle, who was hailed “insanely gross” for slamming Orson for a recent heartache, didn’t stop there.

She took issue with Charlene’s claim the experts were on-hand for all contestants and wrote: “I’m pretty sure I told the experts at two CC’s [commitment ceremonies] that I’d asked to see them and all now I’m still waiting.”

The Sun has gone to Charlene’s rep for comment.

EXPERT VIEW

Previously, MAFS expert Charlene exclusively told The Sun she is baffled by Richelle’s treatment towards her husband Orson and admitted she was “shocked”

At the time, Charlene told us: “I have to say with Orson and Richelle I think, even now, I’m not fully sure what that’s all about.

“If I’m honest I do feel like, if someone is still triggered by a past relationship, the kind thing to do would be to meet them where they are emotionally and to be there for them.

“I don’t know if Richelle maybe saw other things in Orson that we weren’t privy to that kind of made her feel like, ‘This man isn’t very honest’.

“I didn’t see that. I saw in Orson someone that’s very kind, very honest, very transparent but we’re not with them 24/7 so I can’t be sure.

“But it felt sad. I’m not going to lie, it did feel sad for me that Richelle made some of those comments.”

Talking of Richelle, Charlene then added: “To be fair, on social media, I’ve seen that she has stuck by her guns with certain things but she has also said that maybe she could’ve said some things a bit differently.

CLAP BACK

At the time the show was aired, last autumn, Richelle accused bosses of misrepresenting her through selective editing and she threatened “the truth will come out.”

She later posted a screenshot suggesting that three call logs had been deleted from a conversation she alleged was with a member of the MAFS team.

She added: “Lesson of the day: Always back up your chat history. Worts and all.”

When contacted by The Sun, a representative for MAFS said: “MAFS UK episodes depict a fair and accurate reflection of the events that happened during filming.

“All contributors have the support of a dedicated welfare team, including a psychologist, before, during and after filming the series.”

Richelle was also first to let slip how Orson takes up with new bride Hannah.
