'She has had a go at me on Twitter': Former MAFS star Clare Verrall has been 'trolling' show's psychologist Melanie Schilling after slamming the series as 'absolute trash'
She shot to fame after starring in the second season of Married At First Sight.
But last week, Melbourne-based Clare Verrall made her feelings clear about the reality show, slamming it as 'absolute trash'.
And now, Woman's Day claim that the outspoken star has 'attacked' the show's matchmaking psychologist Melanie Schilling on Twitter.
New claims: Woman's Day is reporting that Married At First Sight star Clare Verrall 'attacked' the show matchmaking psychologist Melanie Schilling on Twitter, but Clare has told Daily Mail Australia that her account has been disabled 'since about October'
Melanie - who matched Clare with her controversial 'husband' Jono Pittman - reportedly told the publication that Clare 'has had a go at me on Twitter. She refused to believe the matchmaking process was genuine.'
Speaking with Daily Mail Australia, Clare stated, 'I didn't meet her [Melanie] until after I was matched [with Jono], so what does that tell you?'
Clare's Twitter account is now disabled and has been 'since about last October', and the star believes 'old news' is now being brought up in a bid for increased ratings.

'For me it's in the past,' Clare told DMA. 'I'm done with the whole thing.'
The Herald Sun revealed last year that Clare - who survived a violent assault in 2015- was matched with Jono, despite his history of violence.
The newspaper stated that Jono was ordered 'to complete an anger-management course after admitting assault and recklessly causing injury to a man in a 2008 bar brawl'.
Despite Jono having no criminal record, 'a spokeswoman for Nine confirmed it was aware of Mr Pitman’s history'.

Clare and Jono had a fiery relationship on the show, and she later revealed to Kyle and Jackie O that the series re-triggered her PTSD.
'In my situation I am very angry at Channel Nine because they knowingly set up someone – I was attacked on the street eight months prior to filming by a random stranger,' Clare told the radio duo in September of last year.
'I was recovering from PTSD and I was very open with them about that,' Clare continued. 'So they then matched me with someone who has... anger problems. So they thought that would make great TV.'

On her Instagram account, Clare has continued to slam the show.
Last week, in response to a fan asking if she wished she was on the new season, she candidly replied: 'F**k no! Would rather gouge my eye out with a fork'.
