The owner of a Gold Coast business where Married At First Sight star Ellie Dix works has begged furious fans of the show to leave his business alone following her cheating scandal.
Coastal Clinic Plastic Surgery Practice owner Dr Drew Cronin has revealed that a wave of trolls have left one-star business reviews on Google after Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough confirmed their romance during the show’s finale on Sunday.
The couple’s storyline was controversial when Jono, 40, ‘cheated’ on his bride Lauren Dunn, 32, by texting Ellie, 32, behind her back before the pair started a relationship.
Dix has been a subcontractor at The Coastal Clinic as a cosmetic nurse injector for the past twelve months.
Cronin said his company was in no way involved in the reality scandal and begged fans to stop trying to destroy his livelihood.

“Unfortunately, all 15 staff are being unfairly targeted because of the way some people have responded to what one of those subcontractors did six months ago,” he said. The Gold Coast Bulletin.
“People who have never been patients at our clinic, who have never met me, feel entitled to make permanent one-star reviews based on their disagreement with the actions of a televised subcontractor.”
Cronin said the angry fans should consider the possible consequences of their actions and urged them to stop.

“It’s a permanent stain on a company that has otherwise had a great track record on something it has no responsibility for and no input into,” he said.
“These employees are nice people who probably don’t even watch MAFS and are addressing the abuse because they answer the phone.”
As for Dix’s work at the clinic, Cronin said her service was top notch.
Earlier this week, Ellie and Jono finally went public with their romance.
The couple announced their relationship on Sunday night during the show’s reunion episode.
After denying that they had feelings for each other, they stood as a couple against the other brides and grooms.
Since the shock reunion episode aired on Sunday, Cronin’s company has been bombarded with many one-star Google business reviews, most of which don’t even leave a written review.
Last month, tensions came to a head on the show when Lauren finally confronted husband Jono about texting fellow bride Ellie after she left the show.
Lauren’s heart broke when she found out her groom was secretly texting Ellie.
In a dramatic episode, Lauren demanded to see Jono’s iPhone, only to discover that he had texted Ellie hundreds of times after she left the experiment.
“You contacted her. These don’t just relay information that happened the night before, this is more than that. My stomach dropped,” Lauren told Jono.
