The Block 2022’s Sharon Johal has received vicious trolling online after numerous TV controversies but has found a new ally in 2021‘s “cheater” Tanya Guccione.

On August 31, the former Neighbours star posed with her dog Bosco on her personal Instagram, giving some more insight about her ill-fated reality TV stint.

“In non-fake/edited happier news: this!” Sharon wrote in the caption.

She explained why the Instagram comments were “turned off” on The Block-focused Instagram account she shares with her husband, Ankur Dogra.

“We don’t feel like being threatened over a reality tv show. Cheers for the #villianedit mates,” the 34-year-old said.

It came just hours before Sharon shared two shocking screenshots of racist DMs that she had received on her Story, showing the extent of the horrible trolling she’s experienced.

Sharon Johal’s Fans Condemn The Trolling She Has Experienced Amid The Block‘s Controversies

Celebs and fans agree that the trolling has gone way too far.

There was a sudden outcry of support for Sharon after she revealed she was receiving bigoted messages in her DMs.

Many pointed out that making one of the few persons of colour on the 2022 season the “villain” was hugely problematic.

“Yep, make a brown person the villain instead of any of the toxic as f*ck Barbie and Ken couples,” one account commented on the So Dramatic! Instagram.

A dedicated fan account for Sharon commented: “People need to leave Sharon alone, and it’s just a tv show!! Obviously wanting ratings!”

Fans also took to the comment section of Sharon’s recent Insta post, congratulating her for finding a “healthy way to deal with a crappy TV edit”.

Others suggested that The Block was becoming too focused on drama rather than the wholesome reno show that Aussies once loved.

The Block is getting pathetic. Literally trying so hard to create a villain when there isn’t one. It’s putting me off the show,” one fan wrote.

“People get WAY too invested in reality tv shows,” another follower said.

They continued: “No matter what the situation, it’s completely unacceptable to threaten a contestant on a show, an actor on a show or anyone in general… Head up & don’t let the haters get to you.”

The couple’s integrity was questioned during the August 30 episode after they searched for the “recipe” for Samantha’s Paddock wines and won $50,000 in the wine-making challenge.

They directly addressed the drama on social media, reminding viewers there were “absolutely no rules that we cannot use our phones or search the net/google anything”.

They even used the hashtags “#smartmove #notcheating #somuchdrama”.

On September 1, the duo confirmed the “texts” we see edited onto the screen are totally fake!

‘A ‘cheating scandal’ needs to involve cheating, and you said it wasn’t? Also, I don’t call my wife babe, hmm who’s sending these texts?” Ankur wrote.

Sharon also took to TikTok to address her “villain edit” on August 30, and she didn’t hold back!

@sharon_johal

Exaggerated drama. Lack of context. Edits. If you don’t see lips moving, 101 it didn’t happen that way, ya heard

“If you don’t see lips moving, 101 it didn’t happen that way, ya heard [sic],” Sharon said. Hmmmm.

In another TikTok, she added: “There were no rules against using phones or researching – we all did,” she wrote on the video, before adding: “We told production and the winemaker we had tasting notes from the start.”

Sharon also alleged they were “encouraged” to “not share [their] advantage with contestants”.
