Former Bachelorette Georgia Love’s fiance Lee Elliott has made his opinion of Married At First Sight villain Dean Wells publicly known – and he’s definitely not a fan.
Hours after Ten announced Dean as part of the cast of Dancing With The Stars 2020, former Bachelorette contestant Lee slammed the reality star on Instagram, posting the promotional cast photo on his story with the text: “When did this country star celebrating intolerable, sexist, chauvinistic bigots?”

As seen below, the words covered everyone in the photo but Dean.
Dean became known as MAFS 2018’s “bad boy”, after cheating on his “wife” Tracey Jewel with Davina Rankin in an explosive scandal that gripped viewers.
He went on to pursue his original match Tracey weeks after the finale aired with now-infamous X-rated text messages aired on Kyle and Jackie O.
Appearing on the Kyle and Jackie O show in March 2018, Tracey detailed the graphic words Dean had sent her, despite knowing she was in a relationship with another contestant.
Beforehand, she’d told Jackie O the story off-air, and gave the radio host permission to repeat it during the segment.
“So he’s texting her and he goes, ‘Right now I’m sitting her in the corner of my bedroom and I am watching two people have sex in front of me’’,” Jackie said. “And then he sends a picture of the girl.”
Dean’s reputation was made no better after an April Fool’s prank at Tracey’s expense.
Last year on April 1st, Dean shared an Instagram post claiming the two had reconciled.
“Despite our differences, and all that we have been through, in the long run it seems the experts may have got it right,” he wrote beneath a selfie with Tracey.
He later revealed it was a prank.
Days later, Dean again came under fire for comments he made during an interview with Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa and 2019 MAFS contestant Mike Gunner.
During the tense chat, Dean asked Mike if he was encouraged by producers to tell his MAFS “wife” Heidi he loved her.
“When you said I love you when you went through those vows, was there a little bit of B.S. in that?” he asked, before talking about what he went through last year.
“I had a lot of BS in mine. Tracey’s a great girl but it was pressure from the situation, the producers. The whole country was hating on me and I felt, ‘I’ve got to say I love you here, I’ve got to say it.’ Even though, Tracey’s a great girl, I didn’t really love her in that way.”
Mike did not respond favourably.
Things then went from bad to worse when Dean asked Mike “how many girls he’d banged since the show”.
“All right, Dean, I think we’re done here, buddy,” Mike responded.
