‘Held accountable’: Married At First Sight’s Natasha Spencer has named and shamed a man who sent her a lewd message on Instagram then told her it was just a ‘compliment’
‘Boys will be held accountable,’ Natasha wrote on her Instagram Story, hinting that she will continue to expose men who send her similar messages.
Her exchange with the man began when he said he wanted to ‘make love’ to her in the dress she was wearing. When Natasha responded that the comment was inappropriate, he disagreed.
‘Other men would say worse than me, Tash. Trust me, what I said was a compliment. Sorry I offended you,’ he wrote.
The man then suggested she ‘might feel better’ by wearing less revealing clothes instead, such as ‘jeans, a good top and boots’.

Natasha responded: ‘No man should feel comfortable making sexually explicit comments to a woman. The way I’m dressed? You don’t get to dictate how anyone dresses.
‘What I’m wearing doesn’t dictate how I feel. I’m beautiful in a stunning dress or jeans. Don’t have such a backward view on women.’
Reflecting on the exchange, she commented under the thread: ‘I don’t know when people felt it was okay to sexually harass people over the Internet. But it’s not.
‘Instagram isn’t your safe space to be a sexually exploitative pig.’
