Former Married At First Sight contestant Shona Manderson has said she is receiving a lot of "blame" and "judgement" over sexual misconduct allegations she has made regarding her co-star.
The Channel 4 dating show is the subject of a BBC Panorama documentary that also features two other anonymous women who allege they were raped by their on-screen husbands.
All three men deny the allegations.
Manderson, who accused her on-screen partner of sexual misconduct during the 2023 series of the show, told her Instagram followers that the main issue in her case was consent.
In a video posted to her account, she said: "I am seeing a lot of blame and a lot of judgment around one part of my story, and it is not okay.
"I feel like the point has been missed completely, and the point is consent."
Manderson said she and her then-partner had agreed to use the pull-out method of contraception during intercourse, but she alleges that he then went against the agreement.
She added: "It made me feel out of control of my own body and I have seen so many comments about pregnancy, contraception.
"Why did you stay? Why did you leave? Why are you really just speaking up now? And this was never the point.
"The point was consent."
Channel 4 chief executive Priya Dogra has said she is "deeply sorry" about the allegations and a review into contributor welfare is under way.
