MAFS Australia: Andrea’s violent outburst as Richie’s comment sends her over the edge

Andreas grew visibly angry on two occasions during the latest episode of MAFS, and took her frustrations out on the nearest furniture.

Andrea and Richie seemed like the perfect MAFS match at first, with their blossoming romance the light in an otherwise muted first few weeks from the other couples.

However, now the tables have turned, and after a few awkward remarks created cracks in their relationship, it all came to a head on Wednesday when Richie appeared to end their romance once and for all.

After Andy sat down with Richie to share her thoughts on what he needed to do to help save their relationship, she grew frustrated as her partner appeared unable to take the criticisms on-board.

“Richie, you just keep choosing I understand you’re frustrated,” said Andy. “And your body language now, you’re looking away and sighing. You’re not giving me my chance to speak, and have my say.”

“My body language is sighing and puffing? You’re gaslighting me,” complained Richie, which sparked an aggressive and angry physical outburst from Andy at the dinner table.

“You just did it again!” she screamed as she slammed her notebook hard against the table. “You’re driving me crazy!”

“You are blaming me for stuff and your past relationships,” insisted a dejected-looking Richie. “You won’t own that. I’m not that guy.”

“You’re wrong,” fired back Andy. “You’re worse!”

The remark appeared to spark the end of their formerly blossoming romance, with Richie confessing: “Good luck to you, Andy. that you want, OK? I hope you find the man. It ain’t going to be me.”

“Thank you, because that’s it,” he added.

Later on in the episode, the pair once again had it out, this time at the dinner party in front of the rest of the group.

“Some of the things she said to me are very hurtful, very rude, very disrespectful, as if I am her ex,” he told the rest of the table.

“Don’t say that!” yelled Andy as she aggressively pounded the table with her closed fist as the rest of the group looked on in shock.

“For f**k sake!” she continued. “Listen and just try, please!”

“I’m growing so frustrated with Richie. I’ve asked him to stop bringing up my previous relationships. Just his utter disregard to clear boundaries is really upsetting me,” Andy later said in her confessional. “He makes me feel like I’m crazy. I just don’t know how we got here. I can’t anymore.”
