Married at First Sight UK brides tell BBC they were raped by on-screen husbands
The three women we have spoken to are all making allegations about the men they were partnered with and said that they are speaking to the BBC because they feel they should have been better protected. One said she wants CPL to stop "allowing harm to come to people".
One woman said her onscreen husband raped her and threatened her with an acid attack. She now wants to pursue legal action against CPL
A second woman told both Channel 4 and CPL, before broadcast, about being allegedly raped by her onscreen husband. Her episodes were still aired
A third woman accused her onscreen husband of sexual misconduct.

Excuse me, but in what context is that not a threat?
When the
BBCChannel 4* wants to ignore victims so they can continue to make money.Channel 4, not the BBC.
Admittedly it is usually the BBC:
Thanks, you're totally right!
I think then it's time to mention an uncle that has strong feelings towards kneecaps. You know, as a passing comment.
uk has a problem of what is consider SA/ and assault apparently.
How it feels to be vindicated in my hatred and distrust of Channel 4 in the absolute worst way
I watched the show in passing with my other half and always thought the pushing together of two complete strangers and asking them if they had done it yet seemed odd, but with the added pressure of "that's the show" I guess they felt like they had to go along with it.
Yeah, reading about this, it sounds like a fair amount of Stockholm Syndrome elements occur, and then they want victims to be straightforward about what happened to them. I've never been a fan of reality shows, but these types seem especially bad.
Sounds like a lot of rape situations in general, not just on reality tv honestly.
Yeah, these BBC fuckers are playing games with the headlines. That's definitely an attempt to make you think the SA was being creeped on through a screen and not, you know, rape.
Have you watched Married at First Sight? I understood exactly what the headline was saying.
No, I have taste, is the article only available to people who watch this one show?
I don’t think anyone actively watches The One Show.
You don’t have to be a smartass lol. It’s just clear what onscreen means when you understand how the show is set up.
