Lisa Kudrow Alleges “Brutal” Friends Writers Discussed Their “Sexual Fantasies” About Costars
Content warning: This story contains allegations of sexual assault.
Multiple reality TV contestants have come forward with serious allegations.
Two anonymous contestants from Married At First Sight UK told the BBC they were raped by their onscreen husbands, while a third contestant alleged a non-consensual sex act.
During the filming of the show—on which contestants don’t engage in a legally-binding marriage but agree to being filmed meeting their so-called husbands and beginning a relationship, including moving in together—the contestants each allege that misconduct took place with their partners.
Lawyers for the men accused of rape denied the allegations to the BBC, while the man accused of the non-consensual sex act challenged details of the victim’s claims when the outlet reached out.
None of the women have filed a report with police regarding their allegations, according to the BBC.
Since the allegations were made public, Channel 4, which airs the show, has removed the series from their streaming platforms and shared that an ongoing investigation continues to take place after the company was made aware of the “serious allegations of wrongdoing.”
