Married At First Sight intruder bride Juliette Chae left her husband Joel Moses red-faced over his teddy bear during Wednesday’s dinner party.
The experiment was left in shock as the 27-year-old recounted how she had once tucked Joel, 31, into bed alongside his beloved stuffed toy on their honeymoon.
Juliette lashed out at her husband, calling him a ‘loser’, saying he had ‘devil eyes’ and insisted his appearance on the show was ‘a performance’.
Joel tried to remain calm as some of the group turned on him over his teddy, including Gia Fleur.
‘I would have cut its head off,’ the controversial bride said.
Turning to an embarrassed Joel, Gia asked, ‘Do you think having a teddy is manly?’

‘She allowed that [teddy] on the honeymoon, grow up, you are in your 30s…and for a woman to respect a man, it requires a masculine energy…’
This comment was Juliette’s opportunity to vent her frustration over her unravelling relationship.
‘What we are trying to say is, I’m not married to a man,’ she said.
Still, others in the experiment were more shocked by Juliette’s attack on Joel during the evening than by any ‘teddy bear confession’.
‘Is that the worst thing in the world for a guy to have, a teddy? Rachel Gilmore said in a debrief interview.
‘You’re [Juliette] bringing it up to bring a guy down.’
Fellow bride Alissa Fay agreed, adding: ‘Everyone has their thing, I don’t care about the teddy.’
After reading the room, Juliette turned on Joel, revealing that the teddy was the least of her concerns.
‘I don’t have a problem with the teddy, I have a problem with Joel,’ she said.
‘I prefer the teddy to Joel. The teddy is not a c*** to me like Joel is. I’ve put up with two weeks of this s**t.’
The teddy drama was one of many humiliations inflicted on Joel during an explosive dinner party that saw the quirky groom called a ‘liar’ and ‘so cringey’ by his bride

The teddy drama was one of many humiliations inflicted on Joel during an explosive dinner party that saw the quirky groom called a ‘liar’ and ‘so cringey’ by his bride.
Despite presenting a united front, arriving together at the dinner party, the frostiness between the couple soon became apparent.
Soon after arriving, Joel was quick to debrief the other couples about what he called a ‘challenging week’ with Juliette.
Meanwhile, Juliette was talking up their progress elsewhere in the room.
Things quickly turned ugly when the fiery bride claimed that Joel had disclosed to the experiment that he had called himself the ‘star’ of MAFS this season.
Flashback footage showed Joel complaining that Juliette had failed to his ‘star’ – meaning an attractive inner quality.
Juliette was having none of it, telling producers: ‘He said he was the star of the show, and that made me want to leave the apartment because I felt like I was not in a real relationship and I needed time to breathe.’
At the dinner table, Joel defended himself. ‘I never said that, and I would never ever say that.

Turning to an embarrassed Joel, Gia asked, ‘Do you think having a teddy is manly?’
‘I’m not a man of my ego, I’m down to earth and humble, and I would never say something as self-aggrandising as that.’
Later, he said she had twisted his words, while Juliette claimed the model was gaslighting her over the ‘star’ comment.
‘I feel like I’m talking to a dummy right now,’ Juliette exploded as the night drew to a close.
At one point, she left her seat beside her groom and asked to sit somewhere else.
