Stella Mickunaite has lashed out over the end of her engagement to fellow Married at First Sight star Filip Gregov.
The 32-year-old let loose in the comments section on her latest Instagram post, in which she declared: 'So unfair my ex gets to say they dated me, and I gotta admit I dated them... shall I say humiliating?'
The clip showed Stella enjoying her new single life, including working out at the gym, dancing with friends and working on a farm.
There was a mixed response from her followers, with Stella directly addressing their concerns with a series of defensive replies.
'How did something that seemed too good to be true come to an end like this?' asked one person.
Stella responded: 'Because it was too good to be true!? Because people wear masks.

'Or people unfortunately revert to their very deep very prevalent beliefs that women are somehow here to "get them", "lock them (down)" and "restrict them". As much as they try to be the better versions of themselves, sometimes those beliefs are too ingrained to change.
'No secrets on my end. I was and I am the same person. I wanted a man a husband and a father to my kids. Those things didn't change for a second. The way I navigated each step was always with the end in mind - aka family.'
Another person commented: 'Very risky revealing your personal life to people here you don't know. Just like your ex. You don't really know them but seem to be revealing a lot about yourself...'
Stella shot back: 'I went on national TV, I think I made my own bed, didn't I? If you actually think about it, how was I so naive as to believe I would find my forever love in that environment? Hence I say - play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
'I won the national humiliation of not trusting my gut of not listening to friends, of being so lusted (over) by the tall, dark and handsome man that I lost my critical thinking skills. Who proposes after three months?
'But also, who accepts a proposal after three months? It shows how I lost myself and how naive and desperate I was.'
Stella also complained at length about Filip's new YouTube video, in which he does not mention her by name, but does characterise their relationship as a failed investment that cost him time, money and emotional distress.
'How hard is it to just be civil about someone? No need to talk down about them just because it didn't work,' said one fan.

Stella replied: 'Can be civil. Been civil until I saw his latest YouTube episode that was brought to my attention.
'I think it's enough to be the bigger person. He literally told on himself, I didn't need to do anything. Just pointed out that I feel humiliated by ignoring my friends, ignoring my own intuition and being delulu, thinking this is going to work out for me.'
Elsewhere in the comments, Stella added: 'Mature women speak up... I don't care to be liked because I kept silent. His latest YouTube video truly validated what I felt all through the show. I just got wrapped up in my own naivety.
'But I questioned his motives on the show for two months. I had a boundary of not living together post show, but I also gave away the whole instruction package on how to manipulate me. The proposal well and truly was just to leave the show on the high for him. There was nothing sincere about a man (who feels) that marriage is a business deal.'
Mickunaite and Gregov were preparing to elope just days before he abruptly ended their engagement in July.
Stella told the Daily Mail she had been secretly planning a wedding ceremony for Saturday, July 25.
The beauty technician claimed arrangements were already being discussed with celebrity jeweller Simon Curwood, and the events manager at Novella on the Park – the Western Sydney venue where the couple tied the knot during the experiment last year.

'It's absolute bollocks and it's so far beyond the truth,' Stella said in response to claims the pair were no longer aligned on their future.
'I was planning to offer for us to elope. I had plans in place for July 25 with Simon Curwood, and the events manager at the venue where we got married last year.'
She had even planned a magazine deal.
Stella's revelation suggests she believed the pair were still moving towards marriage shortly before Filip, 37, ended their relationship over the phone.
'I genuinely thought we were making those decisions together. Instead, I received a phone call ending our relationship,' she said.
However, sources close to Filip have strongly disputed Stella's version of events, telling the Daily Mail the couple's disagreement over where they would live had become an insurmountable issue.
Stella and Filip met and exchanged vows at Novella on the Park in the Western Sydney Parklands while filming Married At First Sight last year.
They later became only the second couple in the show's history to get engaged at Final Vows and continued their relationship after cameras stopped rolling.
