MARRIED At First Sight Australia fans have begged producers to step in for “gaslighting” his wife Katie during an explosive dinner party.
Viewers watched as Katie was reduced to tears on her wedding night as Tim confessed he didn’t feel there was a “spark” between them.
But in true MAFS fashion, it wasn’t long before the drama unfolded.
During Tuesday’s episode on E4, tension between Katie and Tim boiled over.
Tim told his bride how he felt he was making the most effort in their relationship, having struggled to find a connection with her.
He previously told her on the night of their wedding that there wasn’t an instant physical attraction there and viewers saw him fail to interact with Katie or make any effort during the honeymoon.
It left co-star Jamie furious as she defended Katie and branded Tim a “gaslighter” after he “flipped the script” and made her believe she was doing something wrong.
After the table quizzed Tim over his true intentions and whether or not he would give his relationship a go, Tim decided to slam his wife for “betraying” him in front of the group by not defending him when he was being grilled over their marriage.
Katie was left close to tears as she admitted she was in the wrong and apologised saying “I’m a rookie when it comes to relationships“.
Her fellow co-stars were left gobsmacked at Tim’s manipulation.
Carina pulled him to one side to try and get to the bottom of things – but he continued to “deflect” every question.
At the dinner party though, he told her: “I’ve been the one making most of the effort.”
Katie – who has previously been left in tears by him – said: “Are you serious?”
Tim replied: “I feel like my trust has been broken.”
But for Jamie watching on, the situation appeared to trigger her as she branded Tim a ‘gaslighter’.
She shouted: “He’s gaslighting her.
“Am I the only one seeing what’s going on here? That is not OK.
“I won’t sit here and tolerate that.”
Before storming out of the dinner party, Jamie further snapped: “I can’t die on this hill charging at this mother f*****.”
E4 viewers were left horrified by Tim’s behaviour and begged for bosses to step in to protect Katie’s mental health.
One wrote: “No, no, no the gaslighting is too much. I need a producer to pull Tim aside.”
A second posted: “It’s horrible to see this gaslighting at Katie.
A third said: “Tim manipulating Katie and making her apologise is the last straw for me. How are the experts watching and letting this happen? Even Jamie’s soul is bothered, and I am fuming!”
“The production team have a duty of care regarding Katie’s mental health. When are they going to intervene and haul Tim from the process? This isn’t fair on her,” a fourth fumed.
This frustrated viewers said: “Not only is Tim gaslighting Katie, he’s trying to gaslight the viewers too. Are you joking sir we can see your behaviour you are on camera.”
“Tim is gaslighting Katie to the nth degree! For fucks sake! Katie apologising when she shouldn’t be,” someone else echoed.
While another added: “Where are the producers? They should have removed him from the dinner party and discussed his behaviour right then and there!”
In the end, it all got too much for Tim and he stormed out of the dinner party after rowing with the group.
He’s even been branded MAFS Australia‘s “most hated groom” following some cruel comments to his bride.
Viewers were left fuming after watching the primary school teacher brutally reject Katie.
Fans watched in horror as Tim raged at producers that Katie “wasn’t his type”, just seconds after they were married.
Ever since then, he has refused to give his bride the time of day.
