Richelle has taken to Instagram to openly criticize Orson, embodying the dramatic spirit of MAFS UK by launching a barrage of accusations and claims. In a recent episode, viewers were shocked when, instead of providing comfort to Orson regarding his past experience of infidelity from five years ago, Richelle questioned what his friends would think of him crying on television.
Now, Richelle has posted on Instagram, suggesting that “there’s a lot you’re not seeing behind tonight and previous edit,” while also reaffirming her comments directed at Orson during the show.
She further alleged that his entire storyline had been “completely fabricated” and claimed that producers instructed him to say he’d been unfaithful, despite her assertion that such events never actually occurred.
Engaging with followers on Instagram, Richelle has been responding to almost every comment, offering some rather fiery replies. One user remarked, “The way you speak to Orson is absolutely vile. No compassion at all.”
In response, Richelle stated, “I can’t show compassion for stories/events that have been fabricated for a storyline I wasn’t privy to. Sorry, but I can’t extend compassion to someone who has proven by this time to be acting in a ‘vulnerable role.’”
Another commenter suggested that calling a man lame for expressing his emotions contributes to the stigma preventing people from speaking out. Richelle countered, saying, “No, I’m calling him lame for trying to create a fabricated storyline around that. I’m calling him lame for saying a producer made him say it, which raises questions about its truth, don’t you think?”
Further defending her stance, Richelle referred to Orson as “lame” after a follower questioned why she would say such a thing, especially given the serious issue of male suicide rates.
She asserted, “Listen, I don’t know about your friends, but going on national TV and fabricating a whole heartbreak is lame, regardless of gender. If your friends won’t tell you, who will?”
When another user asked how she could be sure Orson was never cheated on, Richelle clarified, “He said a producer made him say it, and I brought it up on the couch, but I know that won’t make the edit with the way they’re doing things.”
Responding to a question about why she didn’t address this when meeting Orson’s friend, she explained, “He hadn’t mentioned it then. I suspected something from conversations during the honeymoon, but he stated the producer made him say it after the friend’s meet-up.” Richelle also claimed that Orson “tries to recouple once I move out of the apartment,” adding that “the truth will come out.”
