Married At First Sight ‘villain’ Alyssa Barmonde slams producers for ‘not telling her’ show is airing in US – as network bosses hit back at her claims they ‘don’t care about her mental health’

She weathered online trolling from Australian viewers following her unflattering appearance on Married At First Sight this year. 

And Alyssa Barmonde is now facing a second wave of criticism as her season of the Channel Nine experiment goes to air in the US. 

Posting to Instagram Stories, on Sunday the mother-of-one, 35, accused producers of failing to inform her that MAFS was being aired abroad while questioning their commitment to protecting her mental health. 

‘Can’t wait to have another round of bullying from another country,’ she wrote next to a screenshot showing how the first two episodes of season 10 are available to view on US Lifetime channel. 

‘And still @mafs producers have no accountability or due diligence to let us know it’s airing again. Where is the mental health support?’ she added.

Alyssa, whose ‘marriage’ to groom Duncan James ended in disaster on the show, also uploaded screenshots of a recent text exchange with a MAFS producer.

‘I hope you are well and this message finds you. My sister just alerted me that MAFS is streaming in the United States. I am not ready for another berating of online hate and trolling,’ Alyssa began.

She went on to ask how Channel Nine and producers from the show’s production company EndemolShine would be ‘offering any support for the inevitable uptick in online abuse’ that would flow from US viewers.

‘What other countries is it being aired in? Why were we not contacted?’ she continued, adding: ‘As I know, love triangle participants have been kept in the loop. This is really concerning and disturbing.’ 

In her caption, Alyssa furiously told MAFS producers to ‘do fkn better’.

However, when contacted for comment in regards to Alyssa’s claims, Nine and Endemol emphasised their commitment to the mental health of MAFS participants. 

It comes after the ex-Mormon publicly chastised Duncan (right) for failing to defend her after she was labelled a ‘villain’  

‘Nine and Endemol Shine takes its obligations in respect to the health and wellbeing of the participants of this program extremely seriously. All participants have access to the show psychologist during filming, during broadcast and once the program has ended,’ their statement read. 

‘Nine also have an additional service for participants should they like or need further individual and confidential psychological support. This service gives participants access to clinicians who have been specifically engaged to support those involved in the program in relation to their experiences.’ 

‘This service is available to all participants for as long as they need it, it does not end.’ 

Speaking to the Back To Reality podcast earlier this month, she said: ‘[Duncan] never once stood up for me publicly. I was receiving harassment, death threats, terrible messages, people were finding my mobile number’

‘I had to shut down my business because it was getting trolled.’

‘All it would have taken is for him to say, ‘Stop bullying Alyssa, She doesn’t deserve it’. But he didn’t because it would taint his image,’ she added.

Alyssa was portrayed negatively during the second half of the season, with edited scenes focusing on her emotional outbursts, mistreatment of her husband and constantly using ‘I have a child’ as an excuse for her poor behaviour.

She has however insisted her portrayal was one-sided and unfair, arguing that many of her clashes with Duncan, from whom she split at the final vows, lacked proper context on screen.
