Warning: This article contains alarming comments and death threats.
After apologising on Thursday night for their on-screen comments, Sonya and Hadil have moved to “name and shame” those who have hurled vile abuse at them since leaving My Kitchen Rules for “bullying” another team.
LISTEN: There’s one major difference between Masterchef and MKR. We discuss, on our pop culture podcast. Post continues.
The NSW friends shared that they have been receiving disgusting messages through Instagram , including death threats and racist slurs.
“Thank you to all of those who have sent us supportive messages,” they wrote in an InstagramStories post. “As for the people attacking and criticising us, it’s time to name and shame. Enough is enough.”
Some of the worst messages they shared in their Stories told them to “go kill yourselves”, while others included racist attacks aimed at their Jordanian heritage. Some were too horrible to repeat.

My main concern, just from watching the ad's on channel 7, has been the obvious bullying that these 2 have subjected others to. While I fully believe a lot of what we see has been heavily edited the personal, abusive comments made couldn't have been shown if they had not been said in the first place and as we fight to stop the children of Australia for bullying this is not an appropriate example to be setting in a 7.30 time slot. Due to my concerns over the attitude being shown in the ads I actually watched the episode before and the episode of the dismissal and if that is what has been going on I am only disappointed they weren't disciplined/removed far earlier as the personal attacks on others (not about their cooking) was absolutely appalling. I believe the two of them owe their competitors, the judges and the Australian public an filmed apology for their disgusting behaviour and their 'gracious' withdrawal from any further competition.
Yes horrible posts on social media. But they made disgusting comments about fellow contestants knowing they were being filmed. Maybe knowing you would be filmed and have so much anger and hatred, probably not a good idea on being on reality tv.
