Bryce Ruthven knows all too well the power of the so-called “villain edit” on Married At First Sight, so it was no surprise when he came rushing to the defence of Olivia Frazer during last night’s epic nude photo scandal.
Olivia came under fire from hordes of MAFS fans for spreading around her rival Domenica Calarco’s OnlyFans photo, which led to most of the group turning on a blindsided Dom.
But Bryce, who rose to infamy on the 2021 season, has argued that drama-hungry producers were the catalyst for the entire scandal.
Bryce claimed the producers intervened to cause the nude photo scandal.

“According to expert John [Aiken].. acceptable behaviour in 2021. Not acceptable in 2022. Go figure?! All tonight’s show is missing is Dion’s edited voiceover again.”
Bryce’s claims came after the explosive episode aired, which saw Olivia telling Tamara: “When someone smashes a wine glass in your face, you Google them,” referencing last week’s glass-smashing incident.
The nude photo, which was circulated among most of the group, was then brought up during dinner by Cody Bromley, who announced to Domenica: “We’ve all seen an image of you pretty much naked on a couch.”
Olivia (pictured with on-screen husband Jackson) and Domenica’s fight reached boiling point.

“I’m aware — I don’t really care,” Jack said. “Who cares. I’ve been aware of this from week one or two. I think what’s more concerning is how is it circulating?”
Tamara then took aim at Domenica, saying: “If you decide to put something like that out there, you have to own it. You have to deal with the repercussions and these are the repercussions — people are gonna talk about it and show each other those kinds of photos, it’s what happens in the real world.”
Domenica stood up for herself and said she took issue with the fact that Olivia had tried to dig up dirt on her following their argument at the couples’ retreat.
“And I told Jack from day one. But that’s not the issue — the issue I’ve got here is I don’t know how you thought that was any of your business to spread that around. If people wanted to Google me, they could Google me. But you clearly sent that — and that’s gossip,” she said.
But Olivia’s passive aggression continued, and she denied shaming Domenica for her OnlyFans account.
“I just mentioned it. It didn’t come with any malice or judgment or anything. No judgment girl, it’s 2021, you can do what you want with your body,” she snapped.
