Married At First Sight's Nasser told TV wife Gabrielle to "smile" on Instagram. Seriously.

Even after going their separate ways during Sunday night’s Married At First Sight commitment ceremony, Nasser continues to be a source of misery in Gabrielle’s life.

The 50-year-old posted a photo of himself and Gabby sitting on the now iconic grey couch on Instagram on Tuesday, and instructed his 44-year-old former partner to “smile”.

“Smile Gabby it’s ok sometimes friendship is worth more,” he captioned it.

Firstly, Nasser doesn’t look too happy in this photo either, so we have no idea why he’s telling Gabby to smack a “smile” on her face.

And secondly, aren’t we beyond telling women to “smile”? Seriously, guys.

The patronising caption left some fans of the show understandably annoyed, with many letting Nasser have it in the comments section.

“Why the heck would anyone be [sic] look happy dealing with his bs,” wrote one fan.

“She deserves so much better…” wrote another.

LISTEN: Is Married At First Sight problematic? Post continues below.

Let’s also keep in mind that just this week, Gabby told TV Week she hasn’t even heard from Nasser since they decided to call it quits on the show, so we have no idea what this “friendship” is he’s talking about.

“Nasser talked a lot when people were around about this friendship he wanted to have with me after the experiment,” she said.

“I questioned that. Sure enough, as soon as we left the experiment, I didn’t hear from Nasser.”

Hmm.

Of course this show exploits its contestants. It's all about ratings. Whatever anyone thinks about Davina Rankin, the amount of hate that was directed her was blatant cyber-bullying. She was called a "home-wrecker (oh, please), a whore, a skank, a ho etc... As per usual, no one calls Dean out on his sexual history. He's a male whore, a male skank, a male ho and in my opinion, he's an emotionally dangerous man. He played with the head of a 26 year old girl. He told Davina that he was definitely going to dump Tracey and be with her. Okay, so Davina "betrayed" her husband too, however as he said "It's not as if I was in love with her or anything ... I just feel like a dickhead". I think Davina knew her husband was not falling in love with her, and therefore didn't think her "betrayal" was all that terrible. Of course she should have been more upfront, but she is still quite young. Dean also betrayed his so called "wife". Tracey is clearly very vulnerable when it comes to Dean, but Dean just does not seem to care. He blatantly played with the emotions of two women, and at 40 years of age, I don't think he's going to change unless he gets some serious therapy. Tracey should not be with him. This is also only my opinion, and I have no evidence to back it up, and therefore could be entirely wrong. However, I believe that Dean is the kind of man who could become an abusive husband in every sense of the word. He's got a huge amount of rage (it shows in his eyes and his behaviour) and I wouldn't be surprised if he went as far as physically hurting whoever ends up being his long term partner. Again, just my opinion! If I was on a jury I would say he wasn't physically abusive because I have no evidence; it's just a gut feeling and they can be wrong in anybody.
