Married At First Sight's Bronte Schofield slams online trolls for bullying Olivia Frazer: 'It's disgusting'
Olivia Frazer deactivated her Instagram this week after claiming online trolls had made her life miserable.
And now Bronte Schofield, 28, from MAFS season 10, has stepped up to take on the bullies who have stalked Olivia, 30, for the past two years.
On her Instagram, Bronte called Olivia's online attacker “disgusting” and “out of control.”
She also referenced Olivia's infamous feud with Domenica Calarco and suggested fans were seeing a manipulated version of reality.
“The amount of hate I've seen towards an individual (Olivia) after a highly edited and manipulated show is like nothing I've ever seen before. “It's gotten out of hand,” she said.

Bronte also made it clear that she will ban all trolls from her own social media.
'You are not a hero if you respond to someone's message with so much hate; you are a complete loser; Anyone who comes to me for something Liv has done is immediately blocked.
“Stop seeking validation at the expense of someone's mental health. It's disgusting.'
In another post to her stories, Bronte continued to defend Olivia.
'It's always the people hiding behind fake accounts and their keyboards who have the most say.
“I'd like to see you make a mistake on national television and have it held against you for years to come, just as you start to feel, and then have people tell you to get over it when you get upset.
“Not to mention that I have to tell you that you have to get over the whole traumatic experience in general, but you have to watch your every move because you are so 'irrelevant.' OK.'

It comes after Olivia broke down in tears after receiving a bout of online abuse earlier this week.
The Married At First Sight star shared some cruel comments from trolls on her Instagram Stories before crying in a series of videos.
“Honestly, I'm so tired of having to defend myself,” the 30-year-old said through tears.
“Two years later, I put in so much work to show people that the show wasn't me. And I'm just really sick of it.
'I just don't want to feel like it anymore. I want to make it public and not apologize like I did something wrong this whole time,” she continued.

'I'm so tired of being on the defensive all the time. I really miss the life where I could just walk down the street and not feel judged. “I really miss my old life,” she added.
Olivia advised people to “be nicer on the internet” because “it really affects people and it shouldn't.”
“And I know people will message me and say, be tough, don't let them win. But like they just do sometimes,” she cried.
The former reality star said she felt “embarrassed because I cried on the internet and I promised I would never cry in public again after MAFS.”
“I've been dealing with it for two years, just haters hating me all the time and it's like it just keeps piling up,” Olivia sobbed.
Olivia previously admitted her appearance on Channel Nine dating show ruined her career.
Olivia appeared on season nine of Married At First Sight in 2022 where she was paired with Jackson Lonie, but the pair later split.
The former TV bride expressed her sadness at the irreversible damage her role on the show had caused.
Before Olivia became a reality TV star, she worked as an administrative assistant for the English department at one of Australia's most prestigious schools.
She believed this role prepared her for a promising future in education.
However, the dream job she almost secured before getting her teaching license was in jeopardy due to her participation on the show in 2022.
