Married at First Sight Australia 2023’s Harrison Boon accused Bronte Schofield of using her battle with endometriosis to excuse her emotional responses to his gaslighting and claimed she was just “being a b*tch”.
As reported in episode 258 of the So Dramatic! podcast, the 28-year-old suffers from endometriosis and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), which became “extremely debilitating during filming”.
A production insider revealed there were several shoots that Bronte wasn’t able to attend because she had been “crippled for days” from the pain and “couldn’t move”.
They alleged that she couldn’t make it to the upcoming Commitment Ceremony due to her medical conditions, which Harrison used to his advantage.
“While she’s away, he uses it as an opportunity to gain sympathy from the experts and fake cries about how worried he is about Bronte. He tells everyone that he hates seeing her in pain,” the source said.
But thankfully, they added that “no one was falling for his fake tears“, which the insider described as “pretty funny”.
Married at First Sight 2023’s Harrison Boon couldn’t “cope” with Bronte Schofield’s Endometriosis and PMDD symptoms
The source revealed that Harrison couldn’t “cope” with Bronte’s PMDD symptoms, which can include “mood swings, severe irritability, depression and/or anxiety in the week or two before your period starts”.
“Bronte’s Endo and PMDD got quite heightened throughout the show. She was in a lot of pain and crying a lot from it,” one insider said.
They added: “PMDD is like PMS on steroids and it made Bronte so emotional that she would just break down in tears at the drop of a hat.”
However, Harrison claimed during a fight that she was using the fact that she is “a woman” to her advantage.
Bronte had started crying in frustration after begging her TV husband to “listen” to her and not “ignore” her point of view amid a “huge fight”. Sounds familiar!
While that seems like a reasonable request of your spouse, Bronte ended up being the one to apologise, telling Harrison that she was “hormonal”.
“Harrison then said to her, ‘you can’t blame the fact that you’re a woman on the fact that you’re being a b*tch’,” the insider alleged.
It’s unclear whether Harrison was aware of Bronte’s medical issues at the time. But regardless, that kind of BS is not on. As Melinda Willis says, “for the bin” with him!
