Laura Bryne, co-host of the Life Uncut podcast<\/a> and the Married At First Sight spinoff show<\/a> After The Dinner Party, has warned fans against trolling after a bombshell episode of the reality TV show that has everyone talking (and yelling).\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Laura, who won The Bachelor in 2017, fronted the first-ever episode of Stan\u2019s After The Dinner Party on Wednesday night alongside co-hosts Brittany Hockley and Jules Lund.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you watched the MAFS dinner party that preceded Laura\u2019s show \u2014 which serves as a post-episode rundown with BTS clips and commentary from contestants \u2014 you\u2019ll know it was a wildly tough act to follow.<\/p>\n

Between rogue insults hurled by Brook Compton<\/a> and Gia Fleur and accusations levelled against Danny Hewitt, the episode instantly went down as one of MAFS\u2019 most memorable dinner parties<\/a> \u2014 and understandably prompted a fiery reaction from fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Which is exactly why Laura took to the Facebook discussion group of her Life Uncut podcast to explain why she and Brittany signed on for After The Dinner Party, and why members of the group trolling MAFS contestants is \u201cnot okay\u201d, no matter how villainous they may seem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason we said yes to hosting After The Dinner Party is because we are not there to be sycophants of the show \u2014 we are there to have our own thoughts, to give participants a voice beyond production [and] to hold the terrible behaviour accountable,\u201d Laura wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She went on to acknowledge that fans might understandably be \u201cfeeling outraged by what you saw on the show\u201d, but urged them to watch After The Dinner Party before they \u201cjudge or comment something negative about it in our own podcast group\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laura went on to extend this sentiment to the negative comments shared by group members towards MAFS contestants, saying she was \u201cdisgusted\u201d by a screenshot she saw of someone \u201ctrolling Brook and calling her names\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is okay to discuss the disgusting behaviour, it is not okay to be a troll yourself,\u201d Laura wrote, adding that trolls discovered within the Facebook group \u201cwill be removed\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBrook\u2019s behaviour last night was unacceptable \u2014 don\u2019t be someone who stoops to the same level,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cWe have zero tolerance for it.\u201d (Image: Facebook)<\/p>\n

It comes as MAFS fans continue to pore over the shocking behaviour displayed during last night\u2019s episode, which saw Brook call other contestants \u201cfucking dumb\u201d and \u201cratchet\u201d and Gia tell others to \u201cget back in your kennel\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The behaviour was discussed in After The Dinner Party, including an unaired moment of Brook calling contestants \u201closers\u201d, and there\u2019ll be plenty more where that came from when the Stan series continues its weekly run immediately after the MAFS dinner party episodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
