The Block 2023 fans have slammed producers for letting Leah Milton and Kristy Beams continue to bully Steph Ottavio.

During the September 6 episode of the hit renovation show, Steph and her hubby Gian Ottavio had a lovers tiff as the pressures of the competition reached an all-time high.

Kristy just happened to pass by during this face-off and in an unexpected move, she comforted Steph and gave her a hug.

However, Kristy later admitted that she was being fake, telling producers: “I’m the not closest with Steph, she might be closest with me.” And fans took to Twitter to rage.

Kristy also bitched about Steph and Gian’s fight with fellow “mean girl” Leah, despite showing Steph support at the time.

“I just think Steph’s got some weird manipulating personality vibes,” Leah said.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their disappointment, with many agreeing that the “bullies” should leave Steph alone.

And fans couldn’t agree more!

However, viewers were disappointed that “bullying” had become one of the central themes of the show. And whilst we love ourselves some drama, we gotta admit, this behaviour is NOT it.
